Friends had their Easyjet flight cancelled this morning - they were due to fly 2 weeks today.
Yep looks like they're all doing the 'fortnight in advance' sketch, at the moment.. |

Malagabob, I had same email from Ryanair for a refund 2 weeks ago. (date of travel was 27/4/20) Filled it in, but 3 days ago I got an email regarding accepting vouchers instead. I have not replied/accepted it because I want a full refund and trying to get through to their online chat insisting I get a refund which I originally applied for is proving impossible at the moment, due to horrendous waiting times. So the wait of being in no mans' land goes on.
Just had an email from Travelrepublic saying the money for our accommodation/hotel will be refunded on the 15th June as they are working in date order of your holiday travel date. |

Had similar problems getting through to Jet2. Wasted a lot of time phoning during the day. Eventually I phoned immediatey they say they open & kept redialing. They answered in less than 5 minutes & sorted my refund. Looks like we just have be persistent. I have extra inclusive minutes from Virgin at the moment so no hardship.

They've pushed the flight programme back to 4th May 2021 now which will take in the early May bank holiday. |

Just had my May 19 Easyjet Faro to Gatwick flight cancelled .....that's the third cancelled return flight ..... next open slots are from beginning of June.
Wizzair have opened bookings for "reopened" route between Faro and Luton from early July. Have never flown Wizzair let alone Luton ....at least it wouldn't require a trek up to Lisboa!

Had email tonight from Ryanair cancelling our flight out on 28th May. All seems more than fair enough, I haven’t been to the link but the email says if I opt for refund I’ll get it within 20 working days.
My queries:- it doesn’t mention cancelling return flight, am I being over cautious and that is included or do I need to wait for another cancellation email? And, has anyone had experience of this and got their refund in the 20 days or is that going to get ignored once I’ve committed? Thanks in advance.

Andrew follow the link in your email, It then asks for name on booking, underneath that it asks for all passenger details, fill that in and then underneath that there is an option to tick one of two boxes. Only tick the one that says all passengers and flights on this reference . I am assuming that it covers both flights cos your booking reference is same for both outward & inward journeys.
Re getting your refund in 20 days, don't think there is much chance of that. Mine said same thing, I filled my form in in mid April and still nothing been refunded as yet . Loads of folks are complaining. Ryanair are saying due to majority of their staff working from home they can't do a refund due to security and that we will have to wait until they are all back in the office. BTW I filled my refund in as said previously and then they sent me an email a week ago offering me a voucher which I have not answered to because I want a refund not a voucher.

Thanks JJ, that’s reassuring re. return flights but the refund bit is as I feared, and in line with O’Leary saying in his recent TV appearance that refunds would be within six months.

Good luck with your claim. You’ll need it. I had my email re cancellation of my flight. Options were a voucher, or refund. Selected refund. A few days later had a 2nd email did I want to take a voucher or refund. Selected refund again. Got an error message and to click a link, which I did. Took me to a Ryanair unrelated page.

At the moment the options for flights to Faro from Edinburgh are Ryanair and Jet2. Mostly I have chosen Ryanair as they are cheaper. My trip in Nov this year was to have been with Jet2. I chose to cancel as who knows what will be happening then. After some perseverence I got through on the phone. The cancellation was done and the money in my bank in 4 days. In view of mr O'Leary's shenanigans I will pay the extra and travel Jet2 in future. If they still exist. If there is a future.

Our choice to Faro from Newcastle was Easyjet, Jet2 and Ryanair. We've never flown with the latter and always found Easyjet better value than Jet2.
Phoned Easyjet in March and got a refund into my account in 4 days. Sadly I'll have to do the same in June once they cancel the flights. Hoping that September may be more successful but I have my doubts.

I wonder how the obligatory quarantine if you arrive by air in The UK will affect even more the airlines
