Travel Insurance: Anyone received a "no show" letter from Ryanair?

[Dave Vanian]

Family holiday was cancelled due to illness of one of the family members. Currently claiming on the travel insurance policy. Response has come back looking for a couple of things. One of them is "No Show Letters From Ryanair Confirming That You Did Not Travel As Planned".

I will, of course, contact Ryanair to attempt to obtain such a letter and I have no quibble with the travel insurance company requesting this. But, knowing how Ryanair operate, I suspect that I will get nowhere trying to extract a letter out of them.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? As it happens, the planned date of departure hasn't happened yet - it's next week. So my own thought is that I could obtain confirmation that the flight took off as planned and also present ourselves at a local Garda station later that day and ask a Garda to confirm that we were in a Garda station in Ireland shortly after the flight left. But perhaps I'm overthinking this?

Anyone with similar experience?

I presume that you've seen this already? Just in case it's easier than assumed?

Thanks very much. I hadn't seen that. I had navigated around the Ryanair website but didn't see this link. Looks like it's going to be easier than I had anticipated.

I just Googled "Ryanair no show letter for insurance" (it actually prompted to autocomplete that search term) and found it that way.

And here was me thinking that it would make sense to go straight to the Ryanair website and look around there. With hindsight, the Google choice is a lot smarter, especially given the vast array of content available on the Ryanair website. Thanks again.
