If you’re flying soon, take a look. Your flight could be one.

Ryanair has announced that 176 weekly flights in and out of the UK will be cancelled between November 2017 and March 2018 as a result of a reduction in the airline’s flying schedule.

Stansted Airport alone will see 120 flights cancelled with 56 other cancellations on various routes around UK airports.

On Wednesday, Ryanair announced that it would be taking a series of measures to eliminate the roster-related flight cancellations that have affected hundreds of thousands of customers in recent weeks.

Amongst the changes announced was that Ryanair would be flying 25 less aircraft (of its 400 fleet) from November and 10 fewer aircraft (of 445) from April 2018, changes that will affect almost 400,000 customers over a five-month period between November and March.

Note: The list below refers to individual flights only, not routes. For example; Ryanair offer 5 flights a day from Birmingham to Dublin so FR 665 is only one of these 5 flights. The other 4 flights on Monday from Birmingham to Dublin will operate as normal.

Anyone that’s impacted by these changes have received an email giving them between five weeks’ and five months’ notice of the schedule changes, offering them alternative flights or full refunds of their airfare.

They have also received a €40 (€80 return) travel voucher which will allow them to book – during the month of October – a flight on any Ryanair service between October 2017 and March 2018.

The 315,000 customers affected by flights cancelled in a six-week period in September and October, meanwhile, have also been contacted and offered a €40 travel voucher (€80 return), for travel between October 2017 and March 2018.
