I'm with Ryanair on this one, at 18 the 'kid' was old enough. The adventure was a grande folie on the part of the parents who presumably booked the tickets. It was a mission impossible from the start. Even if baggage was transferred by the airline it would be touch and go whether you would make the connecting flight. In my experience two hours is a minimum.
Interestingly the article quotes Ryanair in regard to being a point to point airline. There it is in black and white
Just another Ryanair bashing story. This time though with a touch of French colour. C'est la vie!
