4)Bereavement

OTA partners can use this process to complete refunds to passengers for bereavement of a close family member or passenger for Ryanair flight bookings if it prevents the passenger or other passengers from travelling. Full Terms and Conditions we are following are listed here.

Passengers will need to provide the OTA with:

  • Death notice with date of bereavement within 10 days of intended travel

  • The death certificate/death notice within 10 days prior to the booked departure date

  • Relationship to the deceased

  • Confirmation of number of customers on the booking who require a refund.

Immediate family members include only:

  • Husband, wife or civil partner;

  • A child or stepchild;

  • A parent or stepparent;

Ryanair will review the case and issue a travel credit directly to the passenger for the Ryanair flight price paid.

OTA is not required to refund the passenger for Ryanair flights, they will be settled between

Ryanair and the passenger.

Once Ryanair provides an approval, a travel credit will be issued by Ryanair, directly to the passenger.
