Hello, I have only traveled with Ryanair twice and never changed a ticket. Does anyone know the validity date for a ticket? I purchased a ticket on April 18, 2020 (for travel December 22, 2020), so I need to pay a change fee and rebook 2.5 hours before departure on December 22, 2022. Do I need to complete travel by April 18, 2021, 12 months after date of purchase like some US airlines? Or can I travel on any date that is available with tickets available for sale?

I am not asking about any special COVID-19 vouchers because I do not think my reservation qualifies. It seems COVID-19 vouches are valid for 12 months from the date the flight is cancelled and the voucher is issued.
