Anyone else flying from Dusseldorf back to London on June 23rd? I received an email notifying of a flight change...from a 20:15 departure to a 8:25 departure. However, when I check the ryanair website, it still lists the 20:15 flight for booking purposes. Anyone familiar with how ryanair operates? Can I cancel my current/updated airfare and rebook according to my original schedule? Or will ryanair just change my flight to 8:25 regardless? seems like a mickey mouse operation.

but no idea, can't help
I had a flight from Dusseldorf to London on the 30th June (after Werchter) and got the reschedule email yesterday...but my flight was the 13.05 one!
and I looked on the site to see if I could reschedule rather for a later one than 8.25 and saw the 20.15 one (too late for me, I'll fly from Belgium).
give them a call, they seem to have got confused.
Badly, I'm afraid.
I don't know what their policy is on changing flights but they certainly don't do refunds.
As with most airlines of their stature they are free to change any flights until 48 hours notice with no comeback. It kinda sucks
Manchester - 4/6/2000
London - 20/4/2006
Dublin - 23/8/2006
London - 18/6/2007
New York City - 24/6/2008
New York City - 25/6/2008 - we will be "what is up" New York
Manchester - 18/8/2009
London - 18/6/2018
and they also refunded me for a flight (this one actually) that I stupidly booked myself on twice having forgotten I already done it the day before :rolleyes: . I called them and after explaining, they agreed to refund me completely (it was done 3 days later), which they didn't really have to do.
But like every other airlines (at least if you go for the cheap flights rather than the full flexible ones), they do refund only taxes (minus a fee..so basically hardly anything back) if you simply choose to cancel.
I wish they didn't change schedules so easily though :(
Be prepared for more flight changes. Ryanair does it all the time. Read the fine print of your ticket. They have the right to change your departure time up to 2 hours and for some reason they do this liberally. They are dirt cheap though, so what do you expect? Just be prepared to roll with it.

I was on the same flight and mine has been changed aswell, as far as I can see there are only two flights that day now, the early one and one quite late on.
Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.
Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.
My flight from London to Dusseldorf on June 20 has been changed from the 19.25 departure to the 20.40 departure. Not so bad, but it means I'm going to arrive in Dusseldorf very late in the evening. I only hope they don't change again making us fly at 3 in the morning.

SMELL YER MA!
same flight for me!
I'd like to change to the earlier flight that afternoon, but am afraid of making the change for fear of losing out on a flight all together!
lol! i'm such a chicken...
I already confirmed the change so I'll be on the 20.40 flight.
The mail said I could get something like a "travel credit" and then I had to make another reservation. I had the same fear of losing both the flights so I confirmed the "late night one".

Good luck. They're kind of sketchy but when you use them a lot you just sort of come to expect it and deal with it. You can't have real rigid travel plans when flying with Ryanair. I've flown them maybe a dozen times and I don't recall ever having a flight changed more than an hour in either direction. Seems to me it was usally about 20-40 minutes.

Better be safe and broke than sorry and miss out on why I'm doing this tour in the first place..
the first 2 were respectively Iberia (NOT a low cost airline!) and Air Berlin...though those 2 were only by 20mn.
After taking the long road through the ryanair customer service hotline, here's some advice. Reject the new flight they've bumped you to take and rebook the same or new flight that fits your schedule better.
Same with me! First a Ryanair change, then a Zoom Airlines change out of Paris, and now the Dusseldorf show venue!! :rolleyes:
My head's starting to spin!
My Copenhagen - Rome flight on June 28 has been cancelled. It's Air Berlin.
They wrote to me saying I'll get money back. In the meantime I had to book another flight with a different company...

I hope you realise that Ryanair doesn't operate from Dusseldorf, but from a tiny airport nearby ... It takes about an hour to get from the airport to Dusseldorf. The airport does provide a bus shuttle service, however.
yes, I know, thanks.
I'm going to arrive to the hotel very late, I suppose. Not a big problem, I Know I'm not going to sleep very much those days...

:eek: really?

Apparently, the last shuttle bus leaves at 2200 (local time). So if you are leaving London at 2040 (local time), you will probably arrive in Germany at about 2240 (local time).
And if I am not mistaken, the last bus will be gone by then.
Imo it means that there is going to be another timetable after 03.06.07.
The possibility to be left at the airport without a bus to get to the town seems strange to me. I'm not worried about it.

My experience traveling in Europe is that I've always found a way when it seemed like hope was lost. There's usually someone that will let you travel in the bed of a truck or in the back of a van or something.
