What do you think that will do? They aren't going to find a whole new workforce in a day and you can't just tell people they're not allowed holidays.Wouldn't it be cheaper to pay some fine from the government, this is terrible.

Rumour has it that Ryanair speculates on AirBerlin being unable to continue operations in the very short-term. In that case, Air Berlin's take off and landing rights would be available to other airlines. However, airlines who want these rights would need to be able to make use of them immediately. Ryanair only has the necessary machines through cancelling other flights.
Even with EasyJet and Lufthansa being frontrunners in the bidding process?
Don't book with these shitty low price airlines
Not worth it
I assume they got you on in time to avoid the 3 hour mandatory claim?
I kinda assumed preference would be given to those bidding as it would seem part of the value.It's not about the bidding process apparently. It's more about rumours of Air Berlin running out of money before they are sold.
You are losing time explaining why a company that constantly sells tickets under 50 (if you are lucky under 30) while other companies sell for 150+ is worth it in a place where some users call the other ones "broke" because they think 350 dollars on a wallet is too much.If you fly alot, it can be. It often can be a price difference of up to or over a 100 euro's for the same route. That's a lot of things you can do extra on holiday with it, or could mean the difference bewteen being able to afford a holiday and not if you fly with multiple people.
Usually it's also okay to fly with them. If you fly with carry on lugage and print your boarding pass at home (which everybody does now anyway) you won't have any hassle. Yes, they have a little less legroom and their cabine crew constantly tries to sell you things, but for the money you save that's not a dealbreaker. If I the price difference isn't too big I do book at other companies though, as on the route I take often (Brussels-Lisbon) the departing hours of TAP and Brussels Airlines are more convenient and the service is generally better with them. (Brussels Airlines also offers cheaper seats with only cabin lugage)
But the stuff Ryanair pulls know is absolutely terrible. I'm flying in seven days and I still have no clue if my flight will depart.
My monday flight is boy affected. What a relief.
the 22nd, my collegues are flying Madrid - Hamburg with ryanair and we need to hold a presentation during the weekend.
if it gets cancelled we are soooo fucked..

I will never understand flying with Ryanair. I'd rather just not fly at all and save up money for a good company.

Watchdog did a segment on this in their last series actually. Ryanair denied it but the watchdog tests said it was almost statistically impossible for it to be a coincidence every time.The mist annoying thing though, is that they tend to place people apart from each other even though you book together and then offer you to pay extra to sit together. I dont really mind it since it just a couple of hours but it screams pity.
one of my collegues says she will do EVERYTHING to get compensation, she says she'll go to the airport tomorrows and that she has investigated everything to make it work...
our case is that she and another friend should have taken a flight on friday but we were able to rebook for the day after, on saturday and we have no losses,
while it's pretty shitty cause he have to work on saturday already, we didn't lost money other than 27 euro from a train ticket we had bought already.
She can fight for those but... is it worth it?
could she get the 27 euro?
700 pilots have left them in the last financial year. Wow lmao
Yes, she should get it. I think you can fill out a form on Ryanairs website for this. She can also have 250, 400 or 600 euro compensation based on the length of the route she took, based on EU air laws. I've read this will be much harder to get, as Ryanair counts on people not proscecuting for such a 'low' amount. Best bet there is class action suits, which I think are allready in the works.
even if we managed to get rebooked for free?
well it was the Madrid <-> Hamburg friday the 22nd (you can see it in the list Natural Provided https://www.ryanair.com/ie/en/useful-info/help-centre/travel-updates/flight-cancellations7)
can you say with certainty what exactly we are entitled to?
maybe I can help her if I gather more information.
also, she is the passenger but I bought the tickets, can that a problem in the sense that it must be me who files a dispute?
Were you guys notified of the cancellation less than 7 days of departure?? If so, congrats you'll get compensation.
More flights being canceled

They canceled my Glasgow - Frankfurt flight as well, but it's all good I just rebooked it for the next day for free and had to take one more day off from work.
Crap, I'm flying again to London in November, thought I was safe ...
Is the list already out ?

My flight in a few weeks seems to be ok but no doubt things might change between now and then.
Yes most people would rather fly on an A350, but the 737s Ryanair use are very modern and well maintained. The company have a good safety record. Just not a good consumer record.One of the worst flights I've ever taken was a Ryanair flight from Fez to Madrid. Everything seemed to be held together with tape.
If you do a lot of inter-European travel, there are few reasons to pay hundreds extra for luxury airlines.Damn I would never go with a 'cheap' airline, ever.
