Flights:  €129.69
Transfers:  €20.67
Accommodation:  €122.76

Total:  €273.12

Thankfully the playoff wasn't in Switzerland. 

How much did you lose?

about  € 120 + 31 on a new flight - not the worst and with a bit of luck the airlines may cancel because of scheduling/health issues and I will get most of the 120  back
 
always go free cancellation with accommodation  its a no brainer

Do remember if you can't cancel your flights, you can claim the tax back if you don't use the flights.

How would you go about that?

I'm waiting to see if mine cancel or change the flights and then I'll get a full refund. If not then going to change them to suit another match

Minus an admin fee. So you might actually get nothing back (from experience with Ryanair)

Have been stung by that Ryanair trick before.  Have been refunded tax and charges from others with no fee payable.  Flights have to be cancelled first, not good enough to just not show up.

Easyjet plus I might get APD back but as BiM staes the admin cost for Ryanair wipe out the tax.
 
Will leave it to the last minute in the hope they cancel themselves

Not possible to cancel flights with Ryanair but you can still apply for tax refund if flights are unused.

How do you prove they weren't used?

If you dont check in or scan your pass through security.

Wizzair changed the schedule for the Budapest to Sarajevo flights and like an eejit I logged on and accepted the changed schedule.

If anyone else is on those flights and hasn't accepted the schedule change, don't do it. You should be entitled to a full refund.

I'm out about €220 total:
Dublin to Prague €40
Prague to Bratislava €13
Budapest to Sarajevo return €40
Budapest to Dublin (Sunday) €73
Budapest to Dublin (Wednesday) €52

Accommodation is all free cancellation but I'll hold off on that for a bit yet til we see what the deal is with Bosnia. I might get some of the taxes and charges back but I'm not holding my breath.

State of emergency declared in Hungary. Still two weeks to go, anyone booked on ryanair flights to Budapest might get a bit of money out of it yet.
No thank you Turkish......I'm sweet enough
