Getting money back from companies like Ryanair is like trying to stuff butter into the a..hole of a wildcat with a knitting pin using your bare hands: Painful and very difficult...Two years ago..... RyanAir cancelled my Dublin to Biarritz flight.... just 10 days out.
Hours on the phone and... they “re”booked me into Paris.
It turns out their Paris is actually 75Km away from the real Paris.
I had to spent several hours (on the internet) to secure a flight to Barcelona with Vueling – and train to Pamplona
Getting money back from RyanAir is NOT easy.
They always say..... “just call this number”
It is ALWAYS busy, L O N G Wait times.
My solution was.... make a major seen at the Barcelona RyanAir window
Money back..... but..... nothing for the P A I N
Unfortunately looking like Irish pilots involved now 22nd & 23rd August 2019 so I may start walkingI'm flying out of Dublin to Biarritz on the 28th September so hopefully unaffected
My husband and I are at the airport LOL at this (and getting some curious looks from people nearby)! Best description I've seen in ages!Getting money back from companies like Ryanair is like trying to stuff butter into the a..hole of a wildcat with a knitting pin using your bare hands: Painful and very difficult...
Not at all. I'd expected it to be like this but it wasn't. My return Ryanair flight from Santiago this July was cancelled, causing a delay of 5 hours. On getting home I put in an EU compensation claim (via Resolver.co.uk) and three days later it was approved. Two weeks later £231 was in my bank account. It was very efficient. I wish more of my flights would be delayed... that paid for my last week on the camino! We sat in the airport, chatted with pilgrims and ate and drank at Ryanair's expenseGetting money back from companies like Ryanair is like trying to stuff butter into the a..hole of a wildcat with a knitting pin using your bare hands: Painful and very difficult...
Good for youNot at all. I'd expected it to be like this but it wasn't. My return Ryanair flight from Santiago this July was cancelled, causing a delay of 5 hours.

I have to say that my pilgrim friends who went direct also had the same swift success. I think Ryanair have improved their customer service in this area greatly recently. That's the only explanation I have!Good for you
Yes, using those complaint companies may put on some serious pressure.
Me and four others on the same flight. What’s your recommended plan B?I'm flying out of Dublin to Biarritz on the 28th September so hopefully unaffected
See Plan A, I don't have contingency. If you plan for one then becomes self fulfilling prophecy. I believe dates I'm travelling will be unaffected by strike unless I see evidence to the contrary I'll be going with the flow which is often my Plan BMe and four others on the same flight. What’s your recommended plan B?
I like your plan B. See you at plan A or we will be the crowd following you in plan B.See Plan A, I don't have contingency. If you plan for one then becomes self fulfilling prophecy.

I am booked out of Santiago to London on September 13. Should I be looking at Plan B, which would be an alternate airline which goes through Dublin?
