Thanks to Ryanair cancelling our flight 14hrs before we fly to hot sunny Murcia Spain we are now in Mevagissey Cornwall
They have refunded our flight but not refunded our car hire or insurance  .
I hope to get more compensation and the cost of our forced holiday in cold Cornwall from them.

Sorry to hear that, but on the bright side it's supposed to be getting warmer down south this week

I'm a man of my word and I vowed never to fly with them .... you know whats ..... ever again, after they stung me and the missus.

I understand why a family of 4/6/8 find them useable, but this latest fiasco has shown them to be what they are (or what the hierarchy are) ... money-grabbing tossers. Aaaaargh ..... I hate Ryanair passionately.

The whole Ryanair thing is a right mess.    Strictly speaking they are supposed to stump up for an alternative flight with another airline if they cant accommodate you. Getting another flight to where you want to be in the same time frame isn't always easy especially now when Monarch have recently gone bust.  My SIL works for a UK airline and says that things were a bit chaotic last week with people trying to rebook alternative flights.

Ryanair being Ryanair aren't even telling people what they are legally entitled to.. nvm compensation.   No doubt you will be doing your own research but theres some guidelines here for starters.

Hope you at least have a decent break in Cornwall and the weather isnt too bad.

Totally agree with your sentiments on Ryanair and I'am Irish.
However, recent quote on TV interview from Michael O'Leary when challanged about loosing future customers:
"my planes are full of passangers who swore they would never fly Ryanair again"
Time will tell, principles cost money and times are tough !

We did not want to fly with them in the first place, as we live 20 minutes away from EMA (East Midlands Airport ) they were the only carriers who fly out to Murcia.
We spent all Monday evening trying to get other flights, Ryanair offered none, all full.
I found a very nice apartment over looking the harbour in Mavagissey, we have been on some great walks and the weather is not bad for October.

Cornwall is a lovely place with beautiful scenery. Sadly over the next 24 hours the weather is going rather downhill with ex-hurricane Ophelia on its way sending its strong winds over your area.

Yeah, I saw a clip of him on the news saying that, the totally arrogant pr1ck.

Thankfully, I'm in a position whereby I don't need to rely upon his company to get from A to B ... alas, there are thousands of families who do.

With that short notice I believe you are entitled to €250 per person compensation (on top of your full refund).
Good luck, and enjoy lovely Cornwall.
