BBC interviewed a woman from Newcastle a couple of hours ago. She is in Wroclaw and due to fly back to Newcastle Monday. Ryanair emailed her to tell her the flight was cancelled. The passenger was unable to contact Ryanair by phone, email etc and was left with Ryanair's generous offer of a fare refund. £19.90 in her case. Taking an alternative flight is a bit tricky as Ryanair is apparently the only carrier flying between the 2 cities. Ryaniar have said that all passengers affected have been notified by email.
