i refuse to fly ryan air because it is at the cost of other consumers and their employees. i refuse to be a part of a financial shell game that takes advantage of people.
Holy shiiiiiiit !!
The only way in which Ryanairs fuel emergencies affected the passengers is, ironically, that they probably got to their destination faster.
Because you was a cheapskate and you booked with a crap airline, isn't it?
If you've got decent travel insurance, they would fly you home and pay for everything.
The bit thats gets me is they were stupid enough to take a taxi across 2 countries!!!! Surely they could have taken another low cost flight to Germany and connected there instead?!
ie ther are daily flights to Koln, Zagreb and Bcn
Of course there's going to be the odd horror story but generally they do a pretty good job of getting me from A to B. That's all I ask.
As long as you expect a flying bus, then you're alright. Oh, and the possibility that you may be left in the proverbial if they decide to cancel it.
Have had a similar experience, flew twice weekly for a year, delayed once, diverted to Arlanda once. The year after I flew Sas 8 times, luggage lost 6 times, delayed 8 times, forced to change at CPH for no reason x2 - plane actually hit the walkway thing in cph. SAS also keep using those MD80s and MD82s that should have been taken out of service 10 years ago.
Worse thing about ryan is that Scottish git message when youve landed and stupid passengers who seem to think they are flying 1st class transatlantic and "oh I am sure I can bring 25kgs of carry on luggage!"
