I received an email from Ryanair advising they have changed my booking. They changed my return flights to 5 hours earlier making my day trip to London for xmas shopping very tight.

The email asks you to click a link to accept the change which I have not done so far. What would happen if you fail to accept their changes, just wondering?
 
[broken link removed] - especially the first point?
Also - the NCA ConsumerConnect site has some more info.
 
Seeing as I paid 2 cents for the flights, a full refund is pointless in my case. C'est la vie.
 
Does the email link to any terms & conditions explaining the implications of accepting/not accepting the change?
 
Here is the full email, washed of personal details:
Nothing about what will happen if you fail to agree with their change. The original return flight was for 22.30 that day.
 
Bond, your removed link in the email still works - being an inquisitive soul I tried it and was brought into your booking reference and option to confirm flight changes....
 
Yep - still does - would you like one of us to accept the changed booking for you!!

Mods - can you blank out Bond's link above?
 
I fixed it. No personal info on that link.

Strange there is no option to reject their kind offer.
 
Got a similar one recently, actually received two emails titled "1st Notification of a change in departure/arrival time of your flight". In one of these emails there was an extra link if you wanted to take a 'travel credit' instead. It was pretty light in details as to what this entailed though.

I also had a similar email on a booking from Cork to Dublin for the day .My original time coming back was 18.30 but they changed it to 1.15.Who the hell wants to fly to Dublin for 4 hours ( including time to get back to the airport and check in)?????
Anyway they included a link if i didn't want to accept these changes and i got my money credited to my card.

Just to add i booked with Aer Aran instead for €26 cheaper and what i really can't understand is that Ryanair are still selling the original flights online at the original times.What's going on with them ?????????

Interesting. Wonder if Bond checked to see if the original flights were still available. Wonder if that 'think tank' is at it again. Ryanair sell a % of seats at escalating prices. as plane fills up and demand for that flight increases so does the price. So maybe they are now 'bumping' the cheaper bookers to another flight to free up space on a plane that might yield more revenue. worth finding out from other posters if they ever had this experience and if the original flight was still advertised as available - at a much larger premium.
 
No, there is no flight available from Stansted to Dublin after the 17.10 one they have offered me.
