Ryanair are offering repatriation / rescue flights for Irish citizens and the Irish embassy has reserved a seat on a flight from Manchester to Dublin tomorrow, but state that a 95 Euro payment must be made at the airport
Can Ryanair apply different rules if they are rescue flights, or should they provide the free change?
The rescue flights are operated by Ryanair on behalf of the Irish government - the Irish government are marketing and selling the rescue flights (and determining whether or not you meet their criteria to be allowed on board), not Ryanair.
Ryanair are
not "offering" rescue flights.
