I think you should hold out. The offers of rescheduling is an attempt to minimise cash refunds. When they cancel the flight, they will offer the refund. EU regs here https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/air/index_en.htm#cancellationI am due to fly to Dubrovnik in two and a half weeks time. Flight has not yet been cancelled by Aer Lingus but seems highly unlikely it will take place. They are offering travel vouchers instead, can't identify any expiratory date. I have to either re-book or take vouchers in next 24 hours. Should I take vouchers or hold out for (almost inevitable) cancellation?
The vouchers are valid for 5 years from date of issue. The t&cs are on the page where you enter your voucher request details. As an incentive, Aer Lingus are offering an extra 10% on the voucher value.
10% per Aer Lingus website https://www.aerlingus.com/support/flight-disruption-information/They are offering 20% on top of your original cost of booking.
They have not offered a refund, only a voucher. How does one claim an actual monetary refund on a cancelled flight with AL? All their disruption links and web pages are voucher only, as far as I can find.When they cancel the flight, they will offer the refund.

Thanks, they kept directing me towards voucher page and I missed that.This is linked from their FAQ page on Covid 19:
