Ryanair bans Covid refund passengers from boarding new flights

Holidaymakers say they were given just hours to pay back cash claimed though credit cards

Ryanair has been accused of barring passengers who pursued chargebacks against the airline during the pandemic from taking new flights this year - unless they return their refunds.

An investigation by MoneySavingExpert (MSE) has found that holidaymakers who sought refunds from their credit card provider have faced last-minute demands of up to 600 if they want to board a Ryanair plane.
