TAX BACK FROM RYAN AIR-uk address

[Fish the Mod]

Due to chicken pox,'s we had to cancel our flights to see friends in Spain. My holiday insurance was covered by Barclay Connect Plus account. This travel insurance does not cover air flight Tax on , �25 for the doctor to sign the form and I lost the first �150. To try and get the Tax back from Ryan Air, I have wrote to Ryan Air in Dublin, as expected, I didnt get a reply. Having already paid �7 to post me a cancellation invoice. Do they have a UK address in I could claim in the small courts. Their Helpline is a �1 a minute and is run by Asians. Any ideas

I'm not sure what basis you would have to reclaim any money. You were unable to go - it wasn't Ryanair's fault. Insurance covered part of your costs, the other elements are surely down to you.

From Ryanair's web site:

"All Ryanair fares are fully changeable flight/dates/times/routes and names (up to 4 hours prior to original flight departure) however fares, fees or charges are non-refundable. Government taxes may be refunded. Ryanair apply an administration charge per person for tax refund requests. If the refund amount due to the customer is less than the applicable refund administration charge then no refund will be made. Tax refund requests must be made within one month from the booked travel date."

They could at least have the courtesy to reply. What was the total amount of "Government taxes" which you paid?
