Ryanair extends change fee waiver
Ryanair is waiving flight change fees for all bookings up to the end of March.
The airline will also allow passengers up to two date changes up to the end of October.
The airline said in a statement: "In light of ever-changing Covid restrictions, Ryanair is giving customers greater peace of mind when booking their Easter and summer 2021 holidays, when Ryanair believes air travel will re-open following the successful roll-out of the Covid vaccines in the UK, Denmark and many other EU states."
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock repeated in a Downing Street briefing yesterday that all non-essential travel during the nationwide lockdown is banned.
The Government has given no indication of when the lockdown will end.
The Competition and Markets Authority is conducting an investigation into airlines that have refused to refund passengers during the lockdowns. It says they might be in breach of consumer laws.
