Sorry, can you clarify your point there? Why should Ryanair offer a full refund? It seems quite simple, but everyone forgets this. It is the passenger's responsibility to be eligible to fly, not the airlines. If you show up at the airport without your passport, should they offer you a refund? What if you get to the airport without the visa needed, should they offer you a refund? This is the same realm as those examples, the only difference is it is out of the passengers' hands and in the governments. The airline is certainly not at fault far as I see, the correct answer as you said earlier is its a travel insurance issue. Of course most have been lucky and have had a schedule change which then becomes airline fault
