Re: Ryanair slated on ITV
It happened to me last week on FR Salzburg to STN. For almost 3 hours we were told 'delay due to operational reasons.' At the end they cancelled it apperently due Wx at STN. I went online and the METARS were good enough for a VFR flight in a C152! We were stranded just how the other people on ITV were, and not offered a return flight for 6 days. We had to rebook with FlyBe into BHX and then get coach to STN. Cost: about 25x the FR ticket price! It looks like they can just tell pax 'exceptional circumstance' and then they dont have to fork out, even if it was their fault. Yes, flying FR is a gamble, but surely they can have 1 a/c on standby to pick up any cancelled flights within a day or so.
