400 euro's for one week change?

Hi All,
Not to familiar with Ryan Air - heard the horror stories but this was the only flight I could get direct from Israel.

I'm trying to change the flight and they want 400 dollars more to change it (the original flight from TLV to Paphos was already nearly 1K).

Do I have a chance of fighting the 400 or - just pay

Thank you!

It’s unlikely you will get very far, to change a reservation there is a change fee of €45 per passenger per flight if changed on line or a change fee of €60 if you change via the call centre or at an airport. You will also have to pay any difference in fare.

1000 USD for TLV to Paphos with FR?
If true, this is insane. I think I would have revised my holiday plans or hope to be able to purchase last minute at a (much) lower level.

I suspect this is round-trip for two (or more) passengers.

I would certainly hope so.
Also if the change fee and fare difference quote of USD 400 covers more than 1 pax it also makes more sense.

We don't know how many were in the OP's party to say whether that's better or worse than he paid. His $400 USD change is around 8 change fees or ? change fees plus price difference.
