on 15/11/22 sent to Berlin instead of London
On 15/11/22 my mother, Petra Dzhuranova(res. number RDFN9M) and myself, Boyko Djouranov(res.number RDFN9M) were supposed to travel at 22.10 to Stansted, London. My mother was with a broken arm. The Ryanair staff at Sofia Airport bundled us to a flight to Berlin(!) 1. We were left at the airport in Berlin until the following morning at 10.00 am. I had to book a room at a hotel for my sick mother. Ryanair stuff was informed about the disaster on the board of the plane but were laughing about the disaster and left us to deal with it. I filled this form several times but you did not acknowledge the gravity of this situation: 1. You left a sick elderly lady at the airport after sending her to the wrong destination. 2. You did a security breach as the staff did not bother to scan our valid boarding passes.- Sofia-London

Lady tried to tell me my baggage was too big!
Somehow I traveled to nador with Ryanair and had no issues with my baggage size, yet magically had baggage issues on the way back despite my bag being puffy from air lone! She made me take everything out of my back twice, when I took photos and recorded a video, she then came back and told me her superior allows me to take the bag. She was very rude and condescending and telling me that it's already been explained to me and that I should have just listened. She basically wanted me to pay to have the Baggage checked in. I will be informing all of my friends about this scam, and I'll be sharing it to my social media.- El Aroui-Malaga

Delayed flight, Bordeaux Airport
I'm gonna describe my summer experience with Ryanair. It started with my first flight cancelation. Instead I booked 2 more flights to replace the canceled one. Later, the company rescheduled the first flight the way that I wouldn't be able to catch the second one. Good thing, they refunded both. And again I booked 2 flights with the company. 1,5 hours before the first flight, they informed us of the flight delay by 2 hours, in the end the flight was delayed by 3 hours. The flight was 2:54 hours late at arrival (they were in a real hurry not to become subject to compensation). After the flight I decided to get a formal explanation of the delay (the company made my plans fall through). It turned out to be impossible as I couldn't fill in the EU261 rights form till the end (not eligible). I tried to fill in another form, the company rejected my complaint. It was absolutely impossible to get any adequate response from the customer support team. They insisted on the EU261 form which gave me a pop up message of the compensation ineligibility but no formal reply to my email. In conclusion, the prices are great. If you are ready to put up with the company's anarchy canceling and rescheduling flights at their whim, because the prices are really good, go ahead. But if you have more money to spend and you want your plans to be sustained better use another company. Another positive thing is cleanliness and good state of planes.- Bordeaux-Marseille

Delay and subsequent service
Flight FR2715 was delayed 1.5 hrs due to a bird found in the engine! This was found until everyone had boarded the plane. It was extremely hot on board, and not once were we offered any water. Why were we boarded if the issue was known on landing? If it wasn't known about on landing, why?- London-Alicante

Hand luggage dispute
Ryanair complaint RK303 from stansted to Agadir On they back Rk3034 Agadir to stanted Every thing was fine until we got to the airport and asked for special assistance as i do with all my flights. My 8 year old daughter is completely blind and she is Autistic. We were guided to desk 22 and seen promptly. The lady was nice and greeted us with a smile. Then we were told by the same lady (which we could not get a name or identity )our hand luggage are too big and if it doesnβt fit in the stand we have to pay. Bear in mind these hand luggage meet the Ryanair baggage size 40x20x25 and these were the same ones we came from stansted airport who had no difficulty recognising that these are mini hand luggageβs with wheels. When we tried to put them inside the stand our wheels were the problem if there was no wheels it would glide in, which we kept repeating multiple times. We explained to the lady at the counter and then when we came from Stansted we had no problems and if stansted let us why canβt they as these are on the right measurement. She refused to print our boarding pass and demanded we pay 480 or 500 morrocon money. She threatened us by saying if we donβt pay she wonβt print our boarding pass. I said I am not going to pay because I flew with these tiny hand luggage to Agadir with no problems why should I pay. So I asked her to get her manager to that she replied βmy manager will say the same to youβ I still insisted on speaking to her. After 10/15 minutes the lady at the counter went to her manager and they spoke for a few minutes and then they both finally came, her name is Saida. She didnβt even allow me to speak and said we have to pay if it doesnβt fit even though I explained that itβs just the wheels otherwise this hand Luggages would fit she refused to say anything and said we have to comply just because stansted allowed us they canβt let us, they have to follow rules I said bring a measuring tape and see if it meets the size requirements they both were refusing to listen to us. She didnβt even say let me see if it fits or not, she did not even look at our luggage and just said what the lady at the counter was saying. We were left standing with out anyone being helpful at all. My autistic daughter who is also fully blind was getting upset and agitated she started to spin and got angry. We were trying our best to keep her calm, not anyone noticed or came up to us to help. Thank god I had my sons with me who were keeping her calm. So I went looking for the manager Saida again and said look please help us I have an autistic child with me who is going to have a mental breakdown and then it will be a problem to put her on the plane. She started talking to another man in their language, so I said I would appreciate it if you can both speak English as itβs about me, she replied βIβm telling him the situation, baring in mind she is the manager. At no time did I raise my voice, I knew I could not shout because it would set my daughter off, through out the whole time I spoke in my normal tone. Again I said look help us please, To that she replies okay let me see. Then the man Saida was talking to also said look I canβt do anything Saida is the manager she decides. He said her word counts. I went back to the counter and with amazement watched the same lady let others take baggage that were bigger then ours with out even measuring them, when I questioned and asked her β how comes you are allowing others to take larger bags that weβre not fitting due to tightness or the shape of the hand luggageβ she said β donβt tell me how to do my job and to let her do her job in the most rude manner, her tone was very rude and insulting, Her tone changed into some one very aggressive I asked her for her name and she flipped and said I will not give you my name pay up and move from here, or you will miss your flight. Then as we waited my husband and son went to see a guy who wraps the luggage to see if he could help take the wheels of the luggage, they took two wheels off (four in each luggage) and then the manager called the lady at the counter to Say we can take the Luggages. The lady at the counter was on the phone giving me very rude looks and talking in her language She looked at me with disgust and goes take your boarding pass and go. I only said to her βafter all that in the end you let us go why did you do that, as soon as I said that she tried to snatch the boarding pass of my hands and threatened me by saying if you donβt give me the boarding pass I will cancel your tickets. How dare you say that to me. Then she made another threat and said I donβt care what my manager said but now I will make sure you pay! So I enemy bavk to the manager in her office she also followed me to her manager who didnβt know what to say. So I said to the manager all I said was you let us take the luggage in the end after all that. The counter lady fumed in front of me and waved her hand and spoke in their language and then the manager got back on the phone. And then looked at me and said you need to pay sorry there is nothing I can do. So I asked how can a staff not listen to their manager, you have the final say not your staff your in charge off. Again she said Iβm sorry you have to comply and pay, I said to her I will complain about this and she agreed and said you have a right to. The counter lady was been rude to her manager also by not listening to her and disobeying the manager who gave her an instruction to let us go. So we resorted by going to the man who wrapped luggages and got him to give us a screwdriver and we took all four wheels off our hand luggage by this point my daughter was crying and very upset as she follows routine. She was exhausted and extremely upset all the waiting and going back and fourth to the counter and to the managers office numerous times trying to resolve this matter, She was crying and had a melt down. We were there for ages and then we went back to the office of the manager to show her that we took the wheels off, but we were being ignored and again left waiting as they all carried on talking in their language, I then said excuse me can you please come and check as my daughter is very upset and crying, they then said wait, then after 10 minutes the lady at the counter took us back to the counter to measure our hand luggage and it fitted into the stand and she looks at us with a really horrible expression on her face and said go go go you have your boarding pass what are you waiting for go, Finally we were on our way. But then I had to sit down and calm my daughter who was very upset by that point. Not one person came to see if my daughter was okay or if anything could be done. I got upset by this point and had to cry seeing my child in that state. I went back to Saida and said do you have any idea what itβs like to be autistic and blind? She was like Iβm so sorry sister and gave her hand out I refused to hold it because she was sat in her office hiding behind the chair and allowing her staff who are technically supposed to take her advice and let us take those small hand Luggages on board and in the end we did board with those luggages with no wheels which was such a struggle to carry as I need help with my daughter not once did any one came and gave any assistance. Saida said we will make sure your daughter boards on the plane first! Then we finally calmed my daughter down and said to her weβre going to passport control and then go and sit until our plane arrives, thank god that flight was running late in arriving otherwise we would of been rushing to passport control. Now we are walking through to go to passport control and we come to three more ladies who were looking at our Luggages and said we need to pay for them because they look big and why we had carrier bags with us, why we have one hand luggage(two of my boys had a carrier bag, one had their cardigans in and the other had our 100 ml bags to declare as we go to passport control) when we explained we were allowed to go on board with them they looked at the carrier bags two carrier bags and said to us we need to pay for them! Like what!!! We showed them what was in the bag, one had cardigans and in and the other had liquids which were 100ml packaged they were being very rude and wasnβt letting us go through and being very aggressive using words like we are mad and we need to pay. One lady called my husband mental and he got very upset and said you guys are driving us mental. To that the lady goes to us we are all mental and to learn some manners !!! She said we have to Pay!! Or we will not go through. Again my daughter got very upset and kept saying what was going on and we had to reassure her that weβre ok and itβs nothing We then took out our cardigans and wore them and then the three let us go through. We then came to our passports to be stamped and again we were told to do it one by one and not as a family!! So I took my daughter with her and baggage and a blind child to myself! Unable to carry walk with her to the counter with two Luggages and my hand bag. But managed somehow, I was so upset and wanted to Cry out so loud. Our passports were stamped but my husband was being delayed so then I walked up to him and asked whatβs wrong he said letβs go Iβll tell you in a minute we left the passport control and he said that guy was asking him for money he was asking for Money!!! He was saying to give him money! I was fuming, money for what for him doing his job stamping our passports. This was such a shock to us, we were all very upset and did not know what to say and we went and sat down utill our plane arrived. When we board at airports I always make sure I tell the staff about my daughterβs disability and they always give us priority to get on first as my daughter is not too good with waiting. And being pushed in a queue. As I expected usually we board the plane first with her but they made no arrangements for that and because of all that delay we ended up last on the plane, again my daughter found it hard as she kept trying to get through she was touching people who were already seated, I had to apologise to everyone on her behalf and had to say Iβm sorry she is blind, why did I have to do that why! I was being pushed to, I had two hand luggage my hand bag and I had to support my daughter to her seat. And on top of that my family and I were not even seated near one other, I need help during flights Incase I needed help. Iβm in total shock this has never happened to me if anything weβre are always helped and whizzed through security, and sat next to to Each other. My daughter is much calmer when We all sit together otherwise she gets upset and canβt understand why we sit away. My conclusion to all this was everyone here was trying to make money from us, how upsetting! How low and how hurtful this is. Ryanair need to look at this problem properly why are these staff so rude and offer no help at all they do not recognise a disability and weβre being rude. She lacked sympathy and empathy or Luggages knowledge on the sizing. I want a formal apology from these two ladies who made my daughter have three meltdowns and I had to calm her down and board the plane last. The lady at the counter needs to make an apology and should be dismissed from her job. She was showing us how much power she had and that she was above her manager Saida! She took matters into her own hands and was being very rude. I would like to be compensated for my two hand luggageβs which were in good shape until I had to take the wheels off I will attach a video of the wheels being taken off. These were two new hand luggageβs I bough to meet Ryanair size. I wanted to make a video of the whole scenario but they were being rude making threats at every step of the way, They kept saying they wonβt let us board the plane and they will call the police on us. This made my daughter very scared and she kept asking why are the police coming her brothers were heroes on the day they tried their best to keep her calm. It was so sad to see how other passengers she let go through in front of me and she had the audacity to say donβt teach me how to do my job. She clearly doesnβt know how to do her job! As we were going we saw the same lady stop another passenger saying the same this to him, he was also saying the same if I flew in with this luggage what is the problem here. She needs to be dismissed to stop her from doing this to some other family. She was rude and kept looking at me as if I was something disgusting on the Bolton of someoneβs shoes she made me feel so terrible and upset knowing full well I was traveling with a blind autistic child. These ladies were trying to make money out of us! In the end I proved to them my luggage was small and the correct size and I was able to board with out giving anyone any money at all. Ryanair you need to let these countries accept and train them to be more compliant and expect some Luggages will fit but wheels are not a part of luggage they are only their to make us carry the luggage with ease. I am so so sad This has happened to me. Again I want a formal apology from the two ladies who broke me and my daughter into pieces I want a full refund for my damaged Luggages. And I will let you Ryanair decide what else you can do for us. I will be getting in touch with the flight ombudsman to and will forward this email to them to. This cannot happen to other families. Families especially with disabled children or adults. Other countries need to recognise the lanyards given to children at uk airports. There is no point having them with us if we are not getting support when we get to our destination no one cares or values it and no one shows any respect or sympathy. When I have to tell people my daughter is blind it upsets her a lot and she musks a lot of her feelings and when we go home she will cry and cry and cry because non of it made any sense. Please take my email seriously and make a change we live in the 21st century not back I the days, weβre a generation with our future and our children who will be our futures. So please help me and I shall await your reply thank you. You also need to see the cctv camera at the airport. I will also send this email to a tribunal, I was mistreated so badly.

I had to pay 75Β£ because my bag was to big
I have a small handluggage suitcase i am using since years, i was flying to sweden, barcelona, hamburg etc with it, mostly withy ryan air, and i never had a problem with it beeing too big, it fits in the luggage rack without any problems. Then yesterday at Stansted airport the woman at the gate asked me to put my suitcase in the ryanair rack too see if it fits, and it did. She still said my bag is too big and charged me 75Β£ for it. I was queing at priority check in, i told her i was flying to Lomdom three days before with the exact same luggage and it was ok, so it was at all the flights i attended since I have the bag. I mean if its too big its too big and i understand that very well, but if its okay for years and suddenly its too big, that stinks. The fee cost way more then the flight itself and the suitcase itself, this is ridiculous. It seemed like they randomly picked 3 people in the queue they are going to charge that, purely arbitrary.- London-Vienna

Delay and priority baggage
On Monday 12 August at Birmingham airport I always buy priority I always take the same 10kg cabin bag itβs the right size for Ryanair have been using it for years , on Monday I was made to pay for the bag Β£75 pounds got told the bag would be taken from me as we got to the door of the plain I asked and they told me I could put my bag in the upper head lockers and no need to send my bag as itβs the right size , but at the control I was told my bag is not the right size and payed , on my way back to England from Portugal in Porto airport my bag was checked and it was the right size only in England Birmingham airport was told was the wrong size when my bag did fit in the bag measuring trolley. I am very very annoyed about it as I am short of that money now and itβs not right to do this to passengers .

Change of surname
Today I realised while checking in that I had accidentally put my surname on my friends booking. I'm sure if you had checked all bookings up until now you would see we are both frequent flyers with you, so this was a genuine mistake but to charge me 200 euro to change the name is just disgusting and has left me out of pocket for my holiday. Why can't you try and understand that I made a stupid mistake and yes charge me but 200 is a joke and I'm so annoyed.- Belfast-Alicante

Had to pay for backpack which fit under the seat BUD airport
The staff at the boarding gate had a rude, condescending and completely unhelpful attitude regarding the size of my bag. I had to pay 55 euros for it because it was not supposed to fit under the seat even though it eventually did, and I am attaching photos to prove it. Besides the unfair payment, there were 5 staff members there, no more passengers, and yet they couldnβt help me when I was struggling holding with my items and trying to measure it or pay. Their goal was clearly to make me pay and they did not care how. I believe I deserve to be refunded for the amount I paid, since my backpack complied with the measurements of the under seat space.- Budapest-Alicante

Lost luggage car seat
Our childβs car seat did not arrive on our delayed flight to Edinburgh and all Ryanair staff had left so not able to report lost luggage. Contacted Ryanair numerous times and directed to their online HelpCentre, that does not allow me to progress because I do not have a reference number from the airport staff - because there was no staff present! Onward travel prevents me from returning to the airport and there appears to be no end to cycle of Ryanair not being able to assist if itβs not on their script.

Charged for cabin bag
I was on my return trip to Bristol and the staff charged me for my cabin bag - the bag fit in the small cabin sized box on the way in and I was not charged. The bag was the same size as it was coming in however they would not accept it even though it was within the sizing regulations. Other people were also let in with their bags the same size - so I feel unfairly treated. I donβt like to complain, however I packed extra light to be able to fit within the sizing and can not afford Β£50 when the bag was checked by an attendant and allowed in on the way there.

Cabin bag denied and charged extra fee
To whom it may concern, I have dealt with a horrible service today during my boarding flight to Zagreb. I was asked to come forward on the side and measure my cabin suitcase for which I paid 26β¬ on purchase with my flight. I have never been asked to put that suitcase in the measuring box and I fly minimum 10 times a year. Not in Dublin, where I live or any other city in europe. 90% of those are ryanair flights. No one ever saw any issue with my luggage, but today it was decided by ryanair staff that it is all of a sudden not suitable for cabin. My luggage perfectly fits inside the cabin door, it was out of the measurement for maybe 2 cm. How is today different than any other time I was flying with that same suitcase? I am absolutely appalled by this. I was denied also to pay normal cargo price which is usually same as cabin bag and instead robbed for 75β¬. This is an utter disgrace. I have spent a lot of money flying with ryanair but will not anymore. I demand my money back. There is absolutely no reason to charge someone 75β¬ for a bag that they already paid for. Disgraceful, robbed.- Dublin-Zagreb

blocked in the finger 30 minutes
On August 25, flight FR7177 was slightly delayed. At around 6:00 PM, the 2 ladies at gate 32 called for boarding. I was the last one to pass the gate, as always I prefer to remain seated as much as possible. All the passengers were standing crammed together and stuck in the finger for 30 minutes: no seats, no air conditioning, no explanation. I asked the lady at the gate why they had let us all pass and she replied annoyed that it wasn't her fault and the captain called for boarding. On board, I asked the flight attendant for an explanation and he politely said that the airport had authorized boarding. One of the 2 is a LIAR!!! Last but not least, the captain did not say a word of explanation or apology.- Vienna-Rome

Change in flight schedule
We fly a lot from Stansted to Perugia and back and the flights are usually full. Without warning Ryanair have now scheduled flights leaving Perugia at 10pm which are invariably delayed and thus reach Stansted after the train has stopped running. This forces us to get a taxi and often not to get to Islington until 1 am. It is impossible to raise this with the airline and if would use another carrier sadly we would.- London-Perugia

Technical problems
Hi, The reason I'm seeking compensation is because Ryanair first told me that the cause of the delay was "minor technical issue with the aircraft", and after googling this I've found that this could lead to a successful compensation claim. But later they changed their tune to "air traffic control restrictions" which is convenient for them because in this case they don't have to pay compensation. Naturally, my compensation request was declined. So I think something fishy is going on but I don't know how to fight this.- Budapest-London

Ryanair says they are not required to pay compensation due to it being a decision made by air traffic control. However 2-3 other ryanair flights were allowed to take off between the original expected take off and when we actually took off 10 hours later. The eventual take of time was 03:10am friday morning, which means I also missed a night's sleep and was extremely tired on the first day of the holiday. We were given no indication of whether it was possible to be moved onto another flight, and there was no discussion of moving our flight forward. They only compensation was a β¬4 food and drink voucher, which can barely buy a bottle of water at the airport. They also sent a fairly agressive email passing the blame onto air traffic control.- Barcelona-Palma de Mallorca

They have refunded my tickets since the flight was cancelled because of crowd strike issues.. There were only two options, one for taking the next available Ryanair flight or to refund the ticket. There were no available tickets to Gothenburg for at least a week. Hence i had no other option but to get a different flight from vienna to copenhagen and then travelling to gothenburg by train. It has caused me a lot of financial damage and also distress during the events, since there was nobody available to arrange for alternate flights at the airport from Ryan airs side. We were told that we would be reimbursed the hotel stay, food expenses and also alternate flight charges. But ryanair customer support have argued otherwise later and have not given any reimbursement. Ryan air customer service has denied me of any reimbursement after all the issues.- Vienna-Gothenborg

I filled in a questionnaire prompted by email that Ryanair sent me due to a Delayed flight. A few days later I get an email from the marketing team to β Can you tell us more about your recent feedbackβ . This was regards my recent contact with their customer service. I tried filing the form in but it was more about my experience with their customer support of which I had ZERO contact. I then replied to the marketing email with Dear Ryanair I filled in a survey and did NOT contact the customer services team. This email has been generated and sent to me in error. If you want to improve something then distinguish between completing a survey and someone who actually contacted customer services.
