> airlines changing peoples tickets out for credit during the pandemic was easily routed around via a cc charge back

You still owe them the money. The airline can stop you from boarding a future flight. Chargebacks are not magic debt elimination tools.

If that was the case, Turkish airlines had 4 more days to wait until we went to mediation with MasterCard. They could’ve proved their point and taken the money.

They didn’t, they backed out and handed the money back. 1600usd.

The concept that I still owe them money after they were unable to fulfill their duties is laughable, so much so, they wouldn’t even back themselves.

Edit, just to make it clear cc chargebacks aren’t some hit and run scheme

To get to the point I did. I had to

1 convince my bank I was right before they opened any dispute

2 defend myself against evidence the airline put forward saying they were right

3 wait 164 days for my money

And 1600usd vs never using Turkish airlines again… I’ll take the money.

Sounds to me like Ryanair is on rocky footing with the law here. They refuse service, they issue a refund. Simple as that. They owe those people money. Unfortunate the courts didn't resolve it.
