Looking on line they seem to be a nightmare to contact to try re jig dates etc. Where do you stand in these scenarios? Will wait till nearer the date to try make contact. Paid with a credit card,as thought if company went bust we could get our money back! If they can’t provide the service paid,is this way of paying any good to me! Ps I realise there are bigger issues out there👍
Like the best penalty Ireland’s scored?

If it's cancelled, you have to get your money back. If they go bankrupt, you should be able to do a chargeback on the credit card BUT you have to do that within six months of the payment afaik.

Swiss finally got back. Can't process refund immediately due to volumes but will do in future or else I can use the amount of any booked flight between now and year end booked before 31st August. €50 credit if the replacement flight is more expensive, how generous.

Raise a charge back immediately and you'll have have the funds back within 30 days. Phone your bank very early tomorrow morning(they have massive waiting times at the moment as they are struggling to get staff working from home and are closing branches) and say you wish to raise a dispute(chargeback) on a payment as it can't be delivered and the merchant isn't replying to your request for a refund.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Have flights to Barcelona booked for end May with Vueling. Their offer is to move it to any date between now and next March, not sure I trust that this is gonna be over by September, and Barcelona isn't really warm enough in March.

Just wait, if you can get a refund take it or if you must move it then go for March next year. The weather would be better than back home and you’d  hope everything will be back to a normal state or the new normal by then.

I’ve a holiday booked in May but going to wait and see.
I’m supposed to be driving to Ireland (from the UK) end of June but not sure if that will even go ahead.

I'm surprised they hadn't gone bust a long time before this. Don't know why people would still be using them over the last few years with the amount of information available online.

Did the charge back work? Banks are under massive pressure for processing but it's next week when the sh*t hits the fan when the monthly direct debits and standing orders come out.

Aer Lingus cancelled my flight from Britain to Ireland Easter weekend. I noticed a few days ago that they weren't allowing new bookings until 1st May. I'm entitled to a refund under EU law but i'm considering just taking the voucher they are offering as its easier than trying to contact them. They are offering 20% more than you paid on the voucher also with 5 years expiry. I assume they have cancelled all their flights from Britain to Ireland until May

Still no option with Eurowings on a refund, just a voucher or rearrange the flight on their website. Impossible to get in touch with.
