Just out of interest - how much was your ticket ?

Why is that of interest?

Context.
Go on, don't be shy.
After all you did tell us all about threatening some anonymous call center worker with an MSE monsterng so what's a little fare between friends.
I'm guessing it was little.
A quick look on Ryanair's website for that flight on a Friday night in a few weeks time is only a mere €19.99.
Is that how much you paid ?

The subtext of your question was not to find out how much I paid because you were interested. But rather, you wanted to know that so that you could make some sort of smartish comment to the effect of "well what do you expect". That's the real reason you want to know what was paid.


What I paid, be it more or less than you would like to assume, is not relevant.

I took "Man up" to mean stop acting like a petulant little boy and more like a grown up.

You have an unrealistic expectation of response time. Most airlines including the likes of BA, American, KLM etc would take up to two weeks to respond and often longer .

Maybe you've never had to deal with this kind of flight disruption before and the process involved but now you know stop blathering on about a non existent scam and wait patiently like the grown up you presumably really are.

These things happen every day with one airline or another.

It's not what you paid -any economy traveller without status with any airline would be waiting regardless of fare paid.

I've dealt with flight disruption before. Though never have I had such a poor experience with an airline. I know that things of this nature happen daily on airlines.


No problem if it takes a couple of weeks or so respond if that's the norm.

EU regs were not brought in to combat poor customer service from Ryanair and Easyjet etc.
It was the shoddy treatment of customers by flag carriers. Lax attitudes to timing,cancellations at a whim and deliberate overbooking and forced bumping that forced the EUs hand.

Thanks for not answering my question - it gave me the answer I expected.
You travelled for the price of a bus fare yet acted like Joan Collins when the flight was disrupted.

No, it didn't give you an answer at all. What you hoped it would give you didn't come to fruition, so you decided to make the smart comment that you were storing up anyway. You couldn't stop yourself.

Unbelievable and I mean the thread not OP. You book a flight which should depart at 22.40. You don't find out until 02.30 it isn't going to leave. You have to go back to a different airport the following day. That is awful service whether you are paying £20 or £200 or £2000 for the flight.
Many airlines, including Ryanair, could give better information at the time. It relieves some of the frustration.
For sure it will take some time to process the refunds but sending an acknowledgement doesn't seem to be that hard whether you are a Rolls Royce of an airline or a bucket shop one.
