Affected travellers will not be entitled to compensation after the latest round of cancellations as Ryanair has provided from at least five weeks notice.

If your flight has been cancelled there are now only two options:

1. Apply for a refund

Ryanair is offering refunds to all affected travellers. If you receive a refund and rearrange your own flight then you will lose out on any right to compensation.

2. Change flights

Ryanair is offering all affected travellers the opportunity to change flights for free, but the new flights will have to be with Ryanair.

Ryanair have already stated they do not have to provide alternative flights on a rival airline.
