Positive for Covid - Refund - Ryanair / hotels.com ?

[jj1221]

Hello there! This has probably been asked a million times so for the 1,000,0001th time...

Anyone have any ideas what to do (If anything!) in current situation, to get a refund or some of my money back in this situation:

I have flights booked with Ryanair and a non-refundable booking with hotels.com. (I know. Why didn't I pay the extra bit of "insurance" to guarantee me the refundable option. Silly.)

I am due to fly Monday afternoon. My isolation period will be up but still testing positive today and feeling crappy so chance I could be positive day I am due to fly on Monday.

Thanks

Do you have travel insurance?

Do you have travel insurance?

Unfortunately, no. I was going to take out multi trip insurance for the trip (As it involves cycling) but not taken out yet

Are there reasonable priced flights the next day or two after Monday or later? Most hotels that are non-refundable allow you to move the dates if available and at similar prices. I have done this by contacting the hotel directly and they've obliged a few times within hours. I wouldn't mention covid as the reason you can't make it unless you're changing to a few months time
