An expert has come out of Ryanair’s defense, saying that some airlines would possibly regret not having complied with their not-so-generous pandemic payment waiver policies.
Millions of passengers have noticed that their vacation plans are collapsing as the government closes corridors to combat the pandemic and, in response, airlines have implemented policies to prevent them from being financially penalized for converting flight bookings.
Ryanair is one of them, but some have criticized the parameters of politics. One passenger, Michelle Tougher, told MailOnline Travel that she had to pay 330 euros (300 euros) to book a circle flight of relatives to Tenerife that she may not take due to the replacement on the recommendation: payment would have been waived if she had booked the flight five days later, on June 10 of this year.
An expert came here to defend Ryanair, saying some airlines would possibly regret not matching their not-so-generous pandemic payment policies.
And until recently, the booking replaced payment with Ryanair was only exempted on flights booked for dates until December 31, 2020, which now replaced March 21, 2021, but still, the policy does not seem as beneficial as that of other airlines.
With Qatar Airways, for example, all passengers who booked tickets priced before December 31, 2020, can replace the date an unlimited number of times with loose and keep the ticket price for two years.
EasyJet, on the other hand, passengers will rearrange their loose flights until the end of September 2021 and, for now, continue to reorganize them at no additional cost.
