Paulm1949 - There were several different considerations on this flight. The first was the flight aspect and from what I know about RYR pilots this would have been properly done with no short cuts. I’ll bet they knew hours in advance that GLA would be shut which leaves us with the second. RYR’s Flight Ops. Dept would also have been aware that GLA would not have been possible so they departed for GLA knowing full well they were off to PIK. And then there’s the last one, But someone somewhere decided that the passengers should be lied to. It makes no difference how much or little you pay for a ticket, you should be told the truth. It’s not as if RYR can’t afford the compensation as they are one of the wealthiest airlines in the world.
