Ryanair bans passengers from travelling unless they pay back 'chargeback' refunds

Ryanair said that the “many millions" of customers whose flights were cancelled during the pandemic and who applied directly to Ryanair for refunds, which they received directly from Ryanair, will not be affected by the chargeback measures.

Ryanair has banned passengers from travelling unless they pay back “unlawful” refunds for flights they did not take during the pandemic.

Passengers who processed ‘chargebacks’ on their credit cards for flights that operated but which they did not take will only be permitted to fly again with Ryanair once they pay back that money. Ryanair estimates that some 850 people will be impacted by this.
