Has anyone had an Aer Lingus flight cancelled recently? I have a flight from Perpignan back to Dublin on Sunday week that they still haven't cancelled yet. I presume they're just leaving it as late as possible to get as many as they can to apply for their vouchers.

they cancelled mine 6 days after it didnt fly....

Refund Success

I got an email from Ryanair yesterday confirming my refund
"We acknowledge your request for a refund in lieu of a travel voucher for your unused booking.

We confirm that your refund request has been processed back to the form of payment used to pay for your booking.
Your issuing bank will take 5-7 working days to process this refund amount back to your account."

Had been waiting since March for a refund but getting no joy. They kept offering me a voucher.
I lodged a complaint to the regulator here https://www.flightrights.ie/ and all of a sudden things started to move.

May be worth making a complaint if you are getting no joy dealing with Ryanair directly
Happy hunting

Great stuff. How long ago did you complain via flightrights? I lodged mine 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing.

Has anyone contacted Aviva Insurance to look for a partial refund of their car insurance? I see other insurance companies are offering refunds but Aviva are not.

They are stating that they will offer a competitive quote on renewal.

I would prefer a refund now and take my chances on renewal.

Yeah, sent mine to Flightrights on April 29th about a Ryanair flight, haven't heard anything since initial acknowledgment either.

I just got a cancellation email from A.L. for my flights SNN-BCN on July 2nd. The email offers flight change or the voucher +10% option. Looks like I’ll have to dig around their website for the refund forms.

At least its on a BOI card, so chargeback will likely be an option.

Let the games begin!

Lex Luthor

got a 2nd email from RA within a week "suggesting" i take a refund voucher
They are now calling it a "refund" voucher in the hope it probably catches a few people out

got 2 lots of refunds back from Laya already for the 2 plans I have with them....bloody fantastic

But is it not for a maximum of circa €198 per policy, irrespective of the premium?

Sheep Shagger

Ryanair now saying they are 40% through the refund requests with the backlog to be cleared in the next 8-10 weeks...

I know it's off topic...but maybe related if money is tight.... but I think it' s a great service that gp zoom consultation calls are free at the moment through laya. Did one (for a minor health query) and found it great.

as I said on the other thread...

I got 3 out of 6 mine from AIB yday.
They received my documents on 27th.

Not sure why only 3 and not all, but this was very quick so I will give them a few days before I ring and ask.

Interesting development today. I already got my money back for March flights via chargeback. Today Ryanair sent me an email to tell me they've processed my refund for these same flights. So they've no idea I already got it.

Update on this. Haven't received the money back from Ryanair yet but they've now disputed my chargeback with Mastercard so I've been re charged for the flights that never happened!

So once again I'm out of pocket until the refund hits my account. They didn't even refund the full amount the jokers

I renewed my policy with them a couple of weeks ago, in fairness the renewal quote was pretty good, €360ish fully comp, full NCB, , we've two cars & home insurance with them so get other discounts because of this

I just got an email cancelling our flight from dub to lanzarote on June 24th with aerlingus. The email just says we can apply for a voucher or change the flight. Nothing about a refund. And when I log onto the app or website its not showing as cancelled

random_banter

Over 11 weeks now since I applied for the Aer Lingus voucher - was on to them yesterday and got a message back saying "Apologies for the delay, your request was received and your voucher will be with you shortly. " (Similar to when I enquired 5 weeks ago). Don't know if there's any point getting on to them by phone, likely a waste of time.

Really wish we'd gone down the refund route at this stage.

So far Ive

1.Started a refund with Ryanair - absolutely no contact from them at all other than an email about changing flights.Been on to chat a few times and they say Im in the queue for a refund but I could be waiting months - usual Ryan air bulls**t.

2.Requested a charge back through BOI - on going and its in the pipeline so to speak. That might be my best option.

3.Put in a claim against my travel insurance - multitrip - mapfre - They are going to do everything they can to not pay out. Id say Im going to have fun with that one as they say I need to exhaust all avenues with providers first before they will consider a claim.If thats the case whats the point in travel insurance??
Is it not for situations like this and is it not something that you pay extra for so that you can claim if things get cancelled?

Im well covered as I took it out early January so Im just going to see how I get on.

If my case is anything to go by Ryanair are taking the same approach to charge backs as they are with the SCC claims. They will dispute them all.

Aerlingus cancelled my flight yesterday for travel on the 24th June.

I just rang them because the website and app doesn't allow me to do anything with my booking to try get a refund. The email only gave an option to apply for a voucher or reschedule.

I was on hold for about 5 minutes, got through to a guy called Dennis who told me he would process my refund and it would be back in the account within 7 days... I'm sceptical.

Ryanair cancelled my July 8th flight on May 20th. I applied for the refund that day. A few days later I contacted the online chat to confirm I am in the refund queue and not the voucher queue. The agent said I was in the refund queue. Still waiting to hear more from them.

Forget about it and initiate a chargeback.

3 times Aer Lingus promised a refund within 7 days (or 3 - 5 days) - never happened.

Submitted a chargeback (BOI Credit) - refund within 7 days.

I'm with TSB, I might try next week, I don't have the strength to be dealing with it this week

I had to check i didn't write this - exact same position with Ryanair and Multitrip too

Will 100% rethink about using Multiitrip again. Whats the point of them. They even have a notice on their website before you even make an inquiry that not covered for Covid related claims!?!?

I clicked the button from the email to accept a Ryanair voucher. What happens then? Do I get another email with the voucher number? Have people received that fairly quickly?
