Budget airline giant Ryanair have announced they will extend their exemption for flight change fees for passengers booking who book European this October and November.
The exception first came into place earlier this year to give passengers greater confidence in booking with the airline in the wake of COVID-19.
The waiver, which was previously enforced over summer, will now be extended so customers who book this autumn will be able to move their flights with no change fee.
Ryanair’s Director of Marketing & Digital, Dara Brady said: “In order to provide as much flexibility and confidence as possible for our customers this autumn, we have extended the waiving of our flight change fee to October and November bookings.
“Customers can now plan a well-deserved break knowing that if their plans change they can move their flights to any new date up to March 21st 2021 without additional fees”.
Ryanair normally charges a free of between £50 and £95 if a change is needed after a booking is made but the waiving of the charges means customers can book with one less area of worry.
The only caveats are that changes must be made at least 7 days before travel and that bookings in October and November can only changes flights for travel before 21st March 2021.
