3 possible questions arise over the court's decision in Berlin:
1) Does Ryanair have the right to appeal the decision to a higher court, and would this be feasible ?
2) What is the scope of the decision of the court ? Does it cover consumers with a credit card registered to a German address ? Consumers resident in Germany ? Flights from Germany ? Flights to and from Germany ? If a German resident with a German credit card booked a flight from Italy to Spain, does the court's decision apply ?
3) Is Ryanair able to come up with another fee for German consumers that makes it sufficiently awkward that people end up paying the higher fee anyway ?
Perhaps an option to pay cash at airport offices from 6 am to 6:30 am every 2nd Tuesday in the month, staffed by just one person completing transactions very slowly ?
Hahn for example has the advantage of being sufficiently far from where most residents of Rheinland-Pfalz live, that having an office open weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm when a lot of potential customers are otherwise occupied in a quiet and unvisited (but technically public) area of the airport is sufficiently costly in time and money to reach that many people would just moan and then buy online at higher cost anyway.
Would such a scheme be deemed contempt of court, or would it just be a case of raking in the money for 2 years while German consumer groups go through the lower courts all over again ?
