They had a contract with you to get you from A to B which they did not fulfil. You're definitely entitled to a refund.

I presume your correspondence has not yet been in writing. I think that's your next step.

Ryanair won't have any checks on the laptop, it will be airport security if they want to inspect it. I've never had to power mine up but I have had it swabbed for I assume drugs/explosives in Ireland, UK and Spain going through security.

No they wouldn’t

Yes you are correct. However, i've since discovered…with Family Plus there is an option to not pay the 2nd installment. Ryanair then cancel your booking and "refund" the first installment payment to your Ryanair wallet. Apparently you cannot widthdraw this to a payment card but can use it to book another flight withing 36 months. The 2nd installment is due 40 days before your flight.

Has anyone here done this? I wonder if you cannot withdraw to a payment card or do they just say that?!

The would consider it store credit. Frankly, you are lucky getting credit as they normally do not do refunds.

18:20 flights to Lanzarote on Saturdays for the last few weeks are having a delayed departure time from Dublin between 90 & 110 minutes later from scheduled time. Anyone any idea why this is happening.

I had to sign in a few times in one day about 2 weeks ago, forgot my password the second time so had to go in via my browser instead!

your spot on, thought of that when it first came out. Eventually you’ll have almost no choice but to have the “membership” and get feck all for it.

Brilliant black mirror episode in the latest series, it’s the one with Chris O Dowd, features a fictional medical product called “Rivermind” which brilliantly sums up the cynicism of the subscription model perfectly

So they get €1.50 for each oversized bag they catch which the customer gets charged €75.; That's 2%, for really annoying each passenger they get. I hope it would have to be a blatant oversize that impacted other passengers ability to put booked baggage on board or the ability to depart promptly for most to risk the grief they would get from passengers for such a nominal payment.

You probably only need to offer them €1.50, as Ryanair's €1.50 commission will be taxable! 😁

Ryanair says that 99.9% of passengers comply with baggage rules. That equates to 1 passenger in every 1000 flouting them, ie 1 person in every 5 planeloads. When Ryanair staff do start checking the size of bags, they seem to think the 0.1% are all on the same plane! 😁

I see everyone will have to use the Ryanair app now, I've always printed my boarding pass, so now I have to download the bloody app.

Have to say, I'm feeling very lucky. Just received a mail from Ryanair that I'm receiving early access to cyber week deals and it's "just for me". Out of all their millions of customers, it's me that's been chosen to receive it. Not only that but, disappointingly, I've already made my Christmas travel plans with a competitor, so it's going to go completely to waste. I suppose with this kind of luck, I should play the lottery this week...
