Hope you were not on the recent Ryanwhere? flight to Lanzarote which landed in Fuerterventura due to bad weather.

The passengers were left there to get a Ferry to Lanzarote!

:mad:

The ferry takes like half an hour from Fuerterventura to Lanzarote - would you have prefered that Ryan Air made them check into Fuerterventura airport, take time going through security and checking in all their baggage for the 20 minute flight to Arrecife??

My dad and step mum were diverted in Bristol instead of Manchester airport by Thomas Cook airlines because their plane as needed to avoid paying out compensation to other passengers on another flight, and they had to take a coach home, it's not just RyanAir that divert flights.

Not a Daily Heil reader are you? Anyway, even that rag had to admit -

A Ryanair spokesman said: 'Ryanair flight FR 4755, Bristol to Lanzarote, diverted to Fuerteventura due to bad weather in Lanzarote.

'Unfortunately ferries were also affected by these high winds so passengers were provided with EU261 information which outlines their entitlement to provide receipted hotel expenses to Ryanair, for refund.

'Ryanair arranged that the ferry company would carry affected Ryanair passengers to Lanzarote free of charge when ferries recommenced the following morning.

'Ryanair apologises to passengers for any inconvenience caused by this weather related diversion but can never put passenger convenience before passenger safety.'

How is it possible to gauge that?

Two ways - look at the amount of people in the airport and look at the kind of fares on offer at the minute. Both of those are looking very very strong at the minute - I suspect many people are booking with Ryanair because they know Ryanair aren't going anywhere.

I think it has far more to do with:

The fares aren't particularly attractive at the minute - Wizzair are offering quite significantly better from where I'm standing. The interesting thing with Ryanair is that on two flights full of Poles (very little Italians to be seen) - people were buying and buying and buying onboard. Is this being replicated on UK-Western Europe flights? If so, then Ryanair must be laughing at the minute - strong bookings AND strong onboard sales.
