Ryanair ordered to refund flight after customer refused to break Covid travel advice

Ryanair has been ordered to refund a passenger who refused to fly against Government advice during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The disgruntled customer was awarded more than £400 by the small claims court after he argued he should have been given a refund for a Ryanair flight he didn't take due to Government advice not to travel during the pandemic. Although the decision doesn't set a legal precedent, Money Saving Expert's Martin Lewis says it could be used as an example of case law when bringing similar complaints to court.

And Martin reckons now could be a good time to try to get your money back If you're still owed money for a flight you didn't take due to Covid guidance, although you have six years to take a complaint to the small claims coiurt.
