Ryanair - 7

[eggc]

All flights to/from UK cancelled until 1pm on Monday

[alm1]

But Ryanair are still selling those flights on Monday morning. Wtf?

[daz211]

At lease this will give them time to get A/C and Crew to the best places operationaly and dont forget if the ash cloud is still over London it still has to clear northen Europe remember alot of A/C and Crew will still be south of northen Europe so it still could be some days before it passes.

As I understand it, for example, non of the EMA based aircraft are actually at EMA.

No only 5 of the based a/c at ema are stuck, like rix and krk untill monday afternoon.

I imagine Ryanair are aiming to fly stranded aircraft back to base before Monday afternoon.

[FR-]

Well for example rix crew have been told at least monday afternoon. it depends where each a/c is.

[daz211]

It looks like Ryanair made the right choice on canx all flights till monday
at least the passengers know where they stand.

I ain't a Ryanair fan, nor do I fly with them, but full marks to their web site updates, advanced cancellations & links to volcano met charts etc
On this occassion, RYR have put the others to shame.

[alm1]

Wonder if this continue and many airlines will go bust, how many new planes will Ryanair order? 200-300?

[daz211]

On a lighter note

Ryanair crew will feel like long haul crew, with a four day stopover they wont know what to do with themselfs, I can just see them now trundeling around saying MOL is going to go mad we are only ment to being on the ground for 20min......

Enjoy it boys and girls....

Couple of sets of friends away in different placers and spoke to them and they ended up going to airport, 1 a base and 1 non base to amend flights as already checked in. They were concerned about whether they get charged etc despite what website stating.

Got calls afterwards that at base airport it was a 10 minute queue and even though flights fully booked for a week they were asked would they fly out of airport 100km away from base to home airport if it were possible, they said yes but worried about extra car hire drop off fees so a hold put on tickets and lady walked with them to Hertz desk where car extended for extra days and Hertz persuaded not to charge the drop off charge. They impressed.

At non base it took 10 minutes in total and friends ended up asking "Is that it" as it was so easy.

[daz211]

I have friends x 4 in LPA the hotel is letting them stay free of charge until the room is needed they had booked room only but the hotel is giving them breakfast and evening meal they are loving it.
As for flights they have been told by Ryanair EXTRA flights will be layed on to get people home or to an Airport BASE where flights can get them home.

Its good Ryanair have extra A/C, as to how many I just dont know ?

Well done Ryanair you are handling this well and showing flag carriers how it is done
keep up the good work.

Ryanair cancels all flights to and from the UK until Wednesday

Hello,

Breaking news on the BBC website that Ryanair has cancelled all flights to and from the UK until Wednesday 1300.

Thanks

[daz211]

At least MOL is taking action, there is no point in keeping people hanging on
in the hope that is no hope.
If the Airspace opens before it will leave a full fleet of A/C to collect stranded passengers and also make some money from outher Airlines who need afew B738's
Its a shame more Airlines dont follow his lead.

I think this could have been posted in the Ryanair thread and may well be moved.

Communication

Have been and remain stuck in Spain since Friday waiting to return from Girona. Have tied up with some stranded Ezy passengers and and agree with others that the thought process that has been applied by Rya and the web site info has been way better than the replication of NATS info posted by Ezy and others.
Credit where credits due - now where's my Sangria?

[apaul]

Are going to give them credit for their latest move. We'll fly you from the Canaries to Madrid, but you are on your own from there. And if you've been unwise enough to accept a refund because we have not been clear about our duty of care we'll sting you for 100 euros for taking you half way home.
