Just had my flight cancelled with them and supposed to be flying on 5th may-ho hum-just off to post a question about it.

Sorry to hear that but ALL airlines cancel flights,BA more than anyone.
BA usually cancel all their flights about every August and give no notice.

At least you`ve got time to find out what else they can offer.
I think the figure of 50 MILLION passengers a year says something for dear old Michael.

I too have only had good experiences of Ryanair. Cheap flights. On time. Efficient.

The only problem I ever had was when I arrived 5 minutes late for check in, and the check in was closed. I had to pay £50.00 per person to transfer onto the next flight. But this was my fault as I arrived late, and as far as I am concerned Ryanair did me a favour by letting me transfer for £50.00 when they could have insisted that I buy a new flight (which was about £200.00 per person).

Guess thats the price you pay for (almost) getting a bargain.

Once again sorry to hear about your cancellation.
I see that in your post on the other board you`ve admitted that Ryanair has done what it promised in their T&C`s.
They`ve offered a full refund or an alternative flight (OK I know it`s 200 miles away and about as much use as a fridge to an eskimo)

I`ve said this countless times on these boards READ THE T&C`s.
Everyone that buys a flight from Michael has to tick a box to confirm they`ve read them.
If they don`t,they can`t buy a ticket.

I do hope you`ll go to the Ryanair site and find another "bargain" because there`s lots about.
I see your other concern was about the hotel you booked (not with Ryanair).
You can sometimes cancel and lose nothing,other hotels only make you pay for the one night.
Again,when booking,READ THE T&C`s.

er..thanks..I did read the t & c s at the time.Dont see what reading the t& cs have to do with flights being cancelled.

From their T&C`s

Flight cancellations and schedule changes

If your flight is cancelled or before the date of travel, is rescheduled so as to depart more than three hours before or after the original departure time then you will be entitled to a travel credit or full refund of all monies paid if the alternative flight/s offered are not suitable to you and you do not travel.
Ryanair does not provide compensation for flights which are delayed or cancelled for reasons beyond Ryanair's control. You may therefore wish to ensure that you have suitable private insurance cover in force to cover such eventualities. Your rights under EU Regulation 261/2004 are unaffected, so in the case of denied boarding, flight cancellation or a delay in excess of two hours you will be provided with a written notice setting out the rules for compensation and assistance in line with such Regulation.
Passengers who book well in advance should re-check their outward/return flight timings on https://www.ryanair.com or with a Ryanair reservations centre between 24 and 72 hours prior to departure.
