Ryanair baggage changes.

[swee'pea99]

But yes, I'll probably keep using them, because they give me what I actually want: a really cheap flight that almost always works out fine.

That is what they are in business to do. Show me another airline who can fly me from Denmark to Malta and back for a tenner and I will use them.
He has stated on several occasions that even bad publicity Is good publicity. He does it on purpose. It certainly works.

 

[steveindenmark]

That is gobsmacking. Won't stop me using them, mind, but wow. After they'd explicitly told you there were buses. If anyone had filmed that on their Samsung you could probably take out a class action. Brazen. I guess they're just playing follow my leader...

I agree. But than again I like Genoa.

That is very sad. So a family of 4 will never get seats next to each other, unless they pay?

 

[nickyboy]

I've used them, they're fine

I've had significantly poorer service from national carriers

Well so do I. Far more interesting than Pisa. But not really the point is it?

Trust you aren't inconvenienced by this.

Can't see them being too forthcoming/proactive on the required compensation.

I live 10 mins from LBA and have regularly used Ryanair, Jet2, Vueling, Easyjet & Monarch and in decades I've only suffered one long delay. It's all a game, they are trying to get me to pay for this and that, upgrade to this and that, I just want the cheapest flights and often use 2 carriers for the 1 round trip. This year we've done Naples, Alicante, Catania & Malaga yet we can't afford a trip to London!

Just like dealing with any large corporation selling a very cheap product, if a problem arises then I am realistic, I expect it to be an insurmountable problem and not worth me bothering with, I expect to be screwed. I've done so many short trips that if things go belly up, I am still quids in, I fly out to Malaga Oct, Friday 13th (!) with Ryanair for £62 return.........not bothered about the fiver.

Flight FR666?

I don't think that's a return flight...

And I would basically agree....
But, in this case they've dumped thousands of passengers, knowing they are ruining a lot of holidays for people and done bugger-all to help them either get where they are going or more seriously left stranded suddenly not knowing how get home, where to stay and whether they can afford it. This is not an unforseen action like weather or a technical fail or strike, this is sheer incompetence of management selling a product it can't support.
Many people won't be turning-up to work today which will also mean loss of revenue or holiday leave. For the travel savvy this might be acceptable, but for yer regular holiday Joes it can incur a lot of worry, stress and extra costs.
Yes it's cheap, but it sets itself up to be a professional bona-fide service provider and has clearly reneged on it's side of the deal. I hope they pay heavily.

Let's hope the EU hits them with huge fines... the spineless Irish government won't do anything.

Agree.
And I hope the public has a long memory....it's disgusting corporate behavior.

One of our old friends, with whom I'm connected on Facebook, was dumped by Ryanair a couple of weeks ago. Her flight home from Perugia was cancelled, and she got absolutely no help from them getting home. She ended up travelling via Pisa, Florence and Vienna. All lovely places, but not when you expect to be at home.

There is simply no excuse for this sort of behaviour.

If you've just looked that up, it maybe doesn't qualify as stalking but swings well into the creepy zone
