RYANAIR REFUNDS
Posted: Fri May 22, 2020 12:03 pm
RYANAIR REFUNDS. Just a heads up. Like thousands of other folk waiting for refunds (in our case since March 21st), we were sent vouchers. Not knowing if/when airlines will be flying again balanced again when we will feel safe to fly, I contacted my bank (Barclays) via their messaging service and requested a charge back (as per Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert) to my debit card.
It took several messages back and forth, but I am astonished and pleased to say the money is back in my account!!!
Yay!!!! Will probably be blacklisted now!!!!
Try it folks....its a moral victory if nothing else for the common people!!!
Just go to your on line bank and go the secure messaging bit. They will need to know the date, time, amount, airline etc etc. State that you want a refund not a voucher as you have paid for goods ie a flight that wasn't delivered!! Tell them you dont want a voucher as no one knows when airlines will be flying again, and that you dont know when you will feel safe to fly!! You will go round the houses...took me about 8 times, and a different person came back every time, but persistence won!!!
They will ask if the airline is ATOL protected and if so you should approach them. As Ryanair is Eire based, they are not ATOL protected. Hope this help!!
