Thank you david, but im sure the ryanair bashers will be out in force on this one again.
Excuse me! I am not a "Ryanair basher". I have used the airline hundreds of times and defended them just as many.
However alarm bells start going off when I arrive at an airport to be told "your flight is cancelled due to ash clouds" yet an earlier flight on the same route, with another airline went out on time and a flight 30 minutes later, also with another airline is going out on time.
