Ryanair Refunds

It means though that 3 people would be taking up 12 seats so fares would need to quadruple. Hostesses would need PPE and presumably they would ask all passengers to wear face masks.

I just don't see how any airline can operate safely whilst maintaining social distancing. It's difficult to see how any airline, even those with deep pockets can survive until 2021 when a vaccine may be available.

Well O'Leary has said if these social distancing measures are in place then RA won't be flying anyway. I have to say, I agree the idea behind it is nonsensical. The idea you could ever enforce social distancing in the entire airport process is a joke. The security queue would be almost the length of your flight path in the first place. Then the idea that leaving the middle seat free will somehow give the necessary distance... of course the virus only transfers in a sideways direction rather than in front/behind. Utterly absurd to think it can operate in those manners.

It might be worth everyone sending an email to Martin Lewis .....I would think there are contact details on his web site. Anything to raise the profile of the issue higher than it already is. He is someone who is likely to fight for the customer and the more complaints he receives the better the chance of success. Covid 19 has taken over the headlines everywhere but this needs to have its profile raised. It's no good complaining on this forum......contact the Martin Lewis website.
