There’s no legislation designed that says any airline getting a fare of €30 should be reimbursing passengers many thousands of euros for hotel accommodation. It’s absurd. I don’t have a problem with everything being grounded for a day or two but there should have been a much faster response by the governments and transport ministers and by the regulators. This is one of these issues we want addressed – why exactly are the airlines expected to be reimbursing people’s hotels, meals and everything else when the governments are the ones who made a balls of this?
Ryanair are reimbursing me for my lost flight. I expected nothing more. The airlines are not repsonsible for the grounding. I certainly would not expect them to foot my costs beyond the fare. I bought a cheap fare – nothing more, nothing less. I agree with his stance and will watch the ensuing legal wrangle with some interest.
What does amuse me is the bile from the Guardianista. But, then, the chattering classes abhor the great unwashed being able to fly where they want, when they want.

Update: I’m disappointed.
Well said Long Rider
I had a flight cancelled and my hotel booking was lost
not through Ryanairs fault but through interfering health and safety extremists. Half the pubs in my town are shut or
dead thanks to the same freaks.
Why should Ryanair pay for Labours control neurosis
As for the chattering natterjacks ,sooner they get a one way train trip,the better.

Of course! One doesn’t want to fly out to one’s Tuscan villa with all the hoi polloi, after all…
