Ahhh but Peter (Victor Meldrew) Baker wouldn't be happy unless he was unhappy which is why he keeps going back - a repeat unhappy customer !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh go on trev! I am much better looking than Victor Meldrew so I find plenty to smile about too! No chance of finding me buried up to my neck in my own garden by any dissenter either:-)

Yes I am a repeat customer - that's because they go my way. But I have seen improvements (like the dumping of the 732s and the standardisation on 738s) and I have seen deterioration (like the rapid ageing of the same 738s which don't half wear out fast under this kind of regime). I just want to keep up awareness on the problems and potential because Ryanair is breaking far too much new ground to be allowed to self-regulate. As have said before, Michael O'Leary often makes me smile when I see him on tv, but that's not enough. I will I am sure continue to fly with them unless he suddenly directs his webmasters to reject all my bookings!

You may find that some of what has apparently been written on the internet about Ryanair has been censored or just isn't where the Google link says it should be. Ryanair employs an active legal team I think.

I have just read through the extensive Wikipedia article on Ryanair,having never before read it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair

It is I think a very balanced article, and if it were not so, I am sure Ryanair would have had it changed.

I have also flown with Ryanair twice and both my flights were on time and reasonably priced.
My friend also flew out to visit me abroad and the Ryanair flight costed almost a third of the price than getting the cheapest train ticket to visit me in England would have been.

If anything needs sorting out its the shocking UK train service and their disgraceful prices.

Just catching up with the posts from the last few days as I`ve been away thanks to a dirt cheap flight down to Malaga thanks to EASYJET.

The truth of the matter is that the low-costs are doing a great job and giving the public exactly what they want

CHEAP FARES.

People can now afford to jet off for long weekends and mid week breaks and it`s all down to the likes of Michael O`Leary and Stellios.

Another positive vote for ryanair. Went to dublin from doncaster for 20 quid return, a round of drinks in dublin nearly cost as much

Another great bargain from Michael today.
Total cost £21-40 Stan to Girona mid May.

"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. "


Hi Alared, Could I please ask you something here about your last post and about if your flight is changed by more than three hours you can get a refund. We were supposed to fly with Globespan in January to Portugal. Our flights were supposed to leave at 3.30. We had been away for weeks before this trip but even tho away I was checking my emails every day. We arrived at the airport super early about 11.30 and waited until 1.30 and could not see a counter opening up for Globespan to Portugal so I went up to a Globespan counter for another place and asked them were we in the right place. They said the flight had left at 10.00 that morning and for us to go to the ticket counter. At the ticket counter they said that we had been emailed about the flight change. If we were emailed then it must have gone into my junk mail but the funny thing is the confirmation email from them went into my regular email. We contacted them about this as we had lost our trip, our transfers and our hotel for two weeks. They said they had told us of the cancellation by email and that was our problem. From your post in here are you saying that we had the right to cancel if it was three hours different than the time we booked? Is that a regulation that is enforcable if they changed our flights by more than three hours? As it is we lost everything our tickets, hotel and transfers and ended up with no holiday at all. Any comments or help would be appreciated. Is this an EU regulation regarding flights? Thanks Taffy

The quote above was taken from RYANAIR`s T&C`s.
I cannot comment about Globespan as their T&C`s may be different.
You would have to read their T&C`s to see exactly what their rules are.
It could be that any alterations to the time of your flight could be done by email or telephone and not in writing.
I know on the Ryanair site that it does tell you that you should check the time of your flight close to the travel date because of any alterations.
I`m sorry I can`t be of more help,maybe others will offer their opinions.

Again,and I hate to keep repeating it,read the T&C`s for EVERYTHING,then you`ll know exactly where you stand if the worse happens.

"Changes to Flight Schedules
We reserve the right to amend, introduce stops, cancel or consolidate flights as necessary to achieve the high load factors required to maintain profitability whilst offering low fares. Whilst we will try to avoid making changes, we will of course notify you of any material change where it is practical to do so. In this instance we will contact you via your registered email address if the booking was made on the website. Only if the booking was made through our reservation office will you be notified by post. Therefore it is important to inform us of any changes to these details. Changes made at the last minute for industrial action; operational reasons etc; will only be posted on our website. For these reasons and because it is prudent to do so, you should utilise the reconfirmation link on our website prior to your departure, which allows you to view your booking 'live' in our system. You may also phone our call centre on 08712 710 415 or from outwith the UK +44 131 466 7612, between the hours of 09:00 and 19:00 Mon - Fri, 09:00 and 17:00 on Sat, and 11:00 and 16:00 on Sun. (UK time). Travel Agents may use this method or if the booking was made electronically, via their Viewdata system. Adherence to the above advice is particularly important to those booking far in advance, but in all circumstances is a condition of carriage."
