    Hi All

    Can anyone help me with a problem we had with Ryanair on monday night. We were due to Leave Bergamo Airport at 21.00 on monday night and due to fog the flight was cancelled. When we went to the customer service desk at bergamo they offered flights out on thusday which we took, otherwise, the next available flight was sunday. We had no option but to travel into Milan and book into hotel for 2 nights at a cost of €520.00. We then got a flight home with Aer Lingus at a cost of €221.00 arriving home yesterday afternoon can we claim from ryanair or are we screwed??

    Afraid you have no case.The delay was due to an 'Act of God' as they call it. They only have to book you onto an alternative flight which they did.
    The perils of flying with tramps.As long as all goes smooth and you avoid their scams on booking you should be alright but if anything goes wrong you're screwed and they have taken the words 'service, complimentary,nice and help' out of their training manuals.
    Pitfalls. You pay the price and take your chance unfortunately.
    Very unlucky.

    Hah - act of God eh?

    I deal a lot with Ryanair at work, and the attitude of some of their high level staff give the impression that "act of God" is the equivalent of "Act of Ryanair"

    So I guess they can bend that one however they want...

    However aer lingus aren't much better

    Just found out from the Lads that they have offered to refund cost of flights and are looking into the cost of hotel and see what they can do!

    Sounds promising!!
