Ryanair: They diverts to a different airport, and leave passengers on their own!

[rich40245]

[While not directly related to cruise air, more than a few cruise passengers here think about flying on Ryanair.]

 

Seems when flying on Ryanair, you may or may not actually get to your destination, and the airline does not care.

 

A flight from Bournemouth, U.K., to Lanzarote (a Canary Island) was forced to divert due to stormy weather and land on the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura (a different Canary Island.) The passengers say they were then left to make their own onward travel arrangements to catch ferries and boats to Canary Island. Ryanair says they arranged a freey the next day.

If your journey is important to you - do not fly Ryanair.

Ah Ryanair. The last airline I would ever use unless I had to. They fill planes because they are cheap, but should anything go wrong........ you are totally on your own. They have this reputation. You have been warned. That said, if you HAVE to use them, the flight itself is not bad, the planes are new, the pilots well qualified and the FA reasonably friendly.

The title of this thread ends with "!" which I thought is used to express surprise or an unusual situation. ;)

The very paradigm of naivety:-

'I know Ryanair is a budget airline but surely they have some duty of care to their passengers.'

Does any airline take care of their passengers instead of their wallets?.

If they were taking care of their wallets we wouldn`t have seen most of them in bankruptcy.

You expect an airline that considers charging a fee to use the lavatory, to go out of their way to help you when you need it most?

There are plenty of airlines that do both at the same time, and don't see these as mutually inconsistent aims.
