That's a crazy thing to do with any airline. The most important thing to do is to find out the cancellation policy before booking because as sure as night follows day a time will come when the flight doesn't go or somebody gets sick or an accident happens. It's also why there is a product called travel insurance.There were great deals on hotels recently with all sorts of incentives being offered. Upgrades/free breakfasts/ stay 3 nights get 4th free kind of thing. A refund is not much use from Ryanair when you are committed to your hotel booking.

Now it seems, what I expected has come to pass. Ryanir's prices were €110 cheaper than Aer Lingus. They grab all the business from Aer Lingus then Ryanair goes and changes the flight times.
What is most annoying is that they don't send out an immediate email to notify customers of this change in flight times. They wait until the last possible moment when it is often too late to do something about it.
.
The flight in question is due to go in April 2016. It is likely that the flight time will be changed again. Receiving several emails advising of one time change and then another gets more confusing.
I don't trust Ryanair so we try always to book with Aer Lingus as I know they will always be very customer friendly, as it happens we have an upcoming flight with AL and they changed the times and it didn't suit us so once I got the notification I just rang them up to change the days and it was absolutely no problem at all. And it's not the first time I did it when flights were changed.
It's absolute madness to book non refundable accommodation when one is relying on an airline. The only way it is not madness is if one has travel insurance that would cover for it. The absolute most important thing I look for in accommodation before booking is the cancellation policy.
There is no point getting a cheap 100 Euro flight and losing two weeks accommodation costing hundreds. Ryanair and other airlines can and do change destinations. Especially on new routes that may not work out. There are also cases of Michael getting into battles with airports and taxes and workers rights and pulling routes.
