No information about baggage

I had a flight which i paid for both tickets with baggage included. After security checks no one has provided information of where to drop off the baggage before we headed to our gates, they said you will need to pass to gate security! Passed it there, woman was rude and my daughter was charged extra Β£90 for our luggages which were included in our tickets. As i said that to her she said "its not my problem" this is ridiculous! Charged extra when no one provided us with information!

Β£70 rip off at London Stansted

After paying Β£26 for priority in order to be able to get a cabin bag - the lady at the airport decided that apparently my cabin bag was too big, even if it was fitting perfectly in the measurement metallic box, yet only the 2 wheels were coming out. This was my regular luggage and i travel with ryanair at least 6-7 times per year and never encountered such issues. The attitude of the lady was very rude, pointing fingers and shouting, i asked to speak to a manager, but no luck, we could only speak to that lady as we had to hurry to board the plane. There were numerous unhappy clients who got the same issue. Yet, she let other customers with bigger luggages to board the plane without having to pay a Β£70 fee (attached pictures)

Said it was the last flight out, well why not announce to all the passengers so they could make a decision to buy food in the departure lounge. Couple next to me ordered 2 croissants and only got one, ordered a warm tango and the was no ring pull !!

Crew member attitude and unprofessional behaviour

To whom it may concern. I hope this email finds you well, My name is Juan Andres Garcia. I would like to raise a big complaint to the cabin crew management , the HR & training department, what happened on my flight from MΓ‘laga to Shannon on the 11th of June 2024 flight PNR : HT3TKE was inappropriate and unacceptable at all. A male cabin crew during the flight aproched me in a very rude way after I took a selfie , accusing me that I was taking a picture of him !! He didn't even ask in a polite way if I did take a picture. Directly without letting me explain he threatened me to call the police upon arrival to Ireland to force me to check my phone. I was shocked, speechless and humiliated in front of the rest of passengers. As far as I am concerned and I know, a cabin crew member is on-board to I sure safety and security of passengers, providing an excellent customer service NOT A POLICE MAN TO CHECK THE BELONGINGS ITEMS OR A MAFIA USING HIS BAD HABITS BY THREATENING THE GUEST. What surprised me after that , no one of the rest of the team corrected him or asked him to correct his attitude and what he did was wrong . Still I spoke to the female cabin crew I showed her my phone , I saw her face changed. As I know , it's my absolute right to ask for the name of the crew member, she said that they are not supposed to give any name !!! Unfortunately as I know that you will never ever educate your crew member , I can see the level of your HR and the quality of the training given. I know no action will be taken BUT I WILL OPEN A CASE AGAINST THE WHOLE COMPANY AND THE MALE CREW MEMBER WHO ACUSED & THREATENED ME IN FRON OF THE REST OF THE PAX. SHAME ON THE COMPANY WHO DOESN'T CARE FOR THE WELL BEING OF HER GUESTS.

He was the manager there. I'm discussed with this as he never emailed me any information..my son has no medical/ or nan..we have no clean clothes and the fact that he expected us to travel back and forth from the two hour journey on the shuttle bus is disgusting..I'm going to put a big complain in against this manager as his behaviour is unacceptable.

I changed my flight and was charged wrongfully

I changed my flight and was fully aware of the charge. However, the new flight was less expensive than the original by €28.40. Ryanair charged me €13.53 for the difference in flight costs, which is totally wrong. If that applies, then I should have been given the credit. The new flight did not cost €13.53 more. This was on top of the change fee. It's not a lot of money, but it's the principal of honesty and lack of real customer service that I object to. When I tried to clarify the situation, I ended chatting to a robot, and when eventually I chatted with a person, they just said to complain and refused to email me a copy of the chat history.

these people who are tarnishing your name

Hi, on 06/10/2024 I had the experience of booking with your company...initially I had a problem regarding my surname and your telephone and chat staff were very good and friendly.. .the bad thing came when I got on the plane on flight FM3004 which left from Stansted London to Rome Ciampino where it left more than 1 hour late and as if we hadn't missed it there was a hostess Francesca, a blonde Italian girl where she was rude the whole flight. every time he was asked something he always responded rudely or rolled his eyes... I work with the public and in 32 years a situation like this has never happened to me, so I understand the difficulty but if not you like this job there are many others...and don't roll your eyes because a lady who has just had surgery asked you IF THERE WAS a vacancy near the bathroom to take her into consideration. or an elderly lady I think over 80 years old had forgotten her seat number and with her body language and her answers she made the elderly lady feel mortified or if I ask you how you are making me pay in euros or pounds and she starts babbling something without even understanding what I was asking her (I asked for my bank's fee) and when I hand her the debit card with more than 80k in it or the platinum credit card, she screams that the payment hasn't gone through because scream?? up to 3 seconds before you spoke normally... people didn't have time to ask you something that she disappeared to the point that she wasn't seen anymore and it was her colleague, a golden boy who ran up and down... I'm sorry to write this email but something like this had to be reported...I was sitting on row 30 if you want you can ask my neighbors about their experience because this was just the beginning...it's not the first time I've used your company and in all these years like this and too much... because it is these people who are tarnishing your name

Hi Unfortunately the flight was delayed due to technical issues with the plane. Happens. Not complaining because of that besides being delayed for almost 3hours. The problem is that during the flight the air conditioning was really really cold. It was probably 15 degrees during the flight that I had to keep the jacked with the hoodie on my head just to keep away from the breeze.

The air hostess was rude and unprofessional

After boarding the flight home from Tenerife south heading to The John Lennon Airport Liverpool. Both myself and my partner had paid for extra legroom. We were positioned on the left hand side and in the middle of the plane. Next to the exit doors, when one of the flight air hostess , told my partner in an aggressive manner to put her bum bag in the upper locker above our heads. She was very intimidating and angry and had a very unprofessional manner about her. She was argumentative and demanding. My partner suffers from COPD and had her medication in her bum bag. My partner became very distressed and upset. Her breathing became strained. Also the flight air hostesses had long eye lashes that made one of them unable to read the phone they used for payment of food and drink. Also there was water coming from the exit door were we were sitting. When telling the flight crew and air hostesses this when the plane landed they just laughed and said don’t worry? The whole flight was extremely disturbing and distressing for both my partner and myself. The date of the flight was Tuesday 28th May 2024 flight FR4347.. Could you look into this complaint for me .

Carry on bag- issue

I wish to raise a complaint. We travelled from Birmingham airport to Reus Barcelona (flight number: FR8087) on Wednesday 29th May 2024. The party purchased 2x20kg suitcases which was both under weight and brought two midi suitcases which was recently purchased to comply with the Ryan air sizing. Everything was ok until we go to the departure lounge. Whilst waiting to bored, two swift staff members were rude and abrupt telling everyone they must put their bags in the Ryan air bag measure. When we got to the front of the queue, I stood my extra small case upright and was told it needed to go sideways. I put it in sideways, the suitcase fit but the handle caught on the edge. I was told I was being charged Β£46 for each suitcase or we couldn’t get on the flight. We tried to dispute this and the staff was extremely rude telling me to either pay or move out the way. We was happy to take the snacks out of the suitcase and asked can we leave the suitcases and pick it up on arrive. They said no it will be disposed of if we did not take it, again pressurising people to pay. When we asked for a supervisor to come up, he did not come up for a long period but eventually came up when everyone had boarded the plane and couldn’t be bothered to try and listen to what had gone on saying there’s not enough time. At this point we were forced to pay under duress so not to miss the flight as everyone had boarded at this point. The experience was very distasteful which left me not wanting to travel with Ryan air in the future. Once we boarded the plane, the staff could see how upset we were and try to calm us down. The air hostess on the plane try to defuse the situation which made the experience a bit more enjoyable. Otherwise, the swift staff who are representing Ryan air are providing a distasteful experience which will cause Ryan air to lose a lot of their customers. I can attaching photos of the suitcase for reference so you can visually see it was not a large case and they were just being pedantic issuing more fines to gain commission. Once we boarded the plane the air stewardesses could not believe the size of the suitcase that we were fined for carrying due to them.being really small. She said she was going to raise an incident as the suitcase were very small and could easily fit under the seat.

Drunk passenger and landing issues

My wife and I are well seasoned travellers which helps in assessing the situation we found ourselves in which quite frankly was appalling. The extremely inexperienced staff allowed the American in the preceding seat to become drunk ( he bragged that he had drunk 7 bottles of wine onboard ) and then we endured THE WORST landing we have ever experienced. Hitting the tarmac hard TWICE is not acceptable, passengers screamed, we were in full brace position, and the upshot was my wife’s subsequent pain by a trapped nerve in her neck. A harrowing experience which we we won’t forget any time soon.

Economy

Baggage charge, Birmingham airport

When waiting to board the plane an assistant asked my friend and I to put our backpacks in a measuring box, I did so and the wheel stuck up about 2mm, I was told we had to pay 46 pounds each which absolutely disgusted me, our luggage when bought was airline approved as carry on luggage. As I didn't want this to happen on the flight back I paid for priority and an extra bag at Β£22.50 per person so I would like to know why it cost Β£46 going for 1 bag that fit perfectly under the seat of the aircraft. Totally unacceptable and the staff were rude to top things off.

Bristol-Marseille

Economy

Charged for cabin bag

We were charged Β£70 for a cabin sized bag. We were not told at the check in desk that it was too big, at which point it would have been Β£20. We had also already paid for a check in bag and extra baby equipment. We were asked at the gate if we were priority and then told we had to pay for the bag, with no explanation, especially as we did not have a pram and the bag contains baby clothes. The bag is a hard shell so apparently, costs Β£70. However, other passengers with over sized bags were being charged Β£46, apparently because it wasn't a "suitcase". We were not trying to avoid paying, as evident by the extra fees we had already paid. The communication was poor and inequitable when compared with other passengers.

Riga-East Midlands

Economy

refused to change the flight

So the flight is supposed to be on 11th of June but i needed to change it to 18th of June , it clearly states that you can change the flight even 2,5h prior to departure. The new flights were available on the 15th,18th etc but wouldn’t let me choose it. Went onto web chat with them and they told me that I’m confused and there are no flights available till the end of June . When asked why then I can book a new flight and not change the already booked one they told me same thing - there are no flights available to book . So I had to book a brand new flight on the 18.06 even tho they said there are no flights till the end of the month . How is this possible ? Why put in your policy that people can change their flight when no one can do it ? I’ve checked if I can change it to let’s say October - still wouldn’t let me click on the flight . Shocking . I paid Β£95 for the first one and had to book a brand new flight for Β£85 . Very disappointed.

LIS allowing non priority with priority

Both queues were granted access together. We paid for priority. We have waited for over 30 minutes after advancing in the queue only to queue more. Pathetic

Valencia-Charleroi

Economy

Online checkin not working

The day before the inbound we tried all possible ways to execute the online checkin but it was impossible. Though I could see the booking in the application, an error prevented us to start the online checkin and/or the online identification. We have also been in the online chat but nothing was solved (see attached). The ticket was booked via eDreams platform who provided us with the airline reference code and an email but after typing those in the Ryanair application, a message error popped up. eDreams have confirmed that airline reference code and email are correct and that the problem is in the Ryanair system. Same problem at outbound. However, in that case we went to airport hours before and the counter, after seeing that the application did not work, printed the boarding passes manually, no fees. Nevertheless, at inbound in Valencia the counter refused to print the boarding passes for free and my wife had to pay the fees. Besides the horrible experience, we ask the reimbursement of such fees (see attached) as we are not responsible for the malfunctioning of the Ryanair application. Thanks.

Overcharged

We made multiple attempts to check in online but this was impossible due to your computer system. As a result I was charged Β£55 at the airport to board the plane, even though it was absolutely not my fault that I was unable to check in online. I therefore feel that I have been scammed since it was impossible to check in online and the only satisfactory outcome would be a refund.

Delayed flight - extra charge in car hire

Due to delay we were charged extra 50 euros - as I gpt to the car hire shop they were just locking up to leave so we almost didn’t have a car at all. They would not show us where the car was and it took us over an hour and a half to find it. I need to reclaim the 50 euros please?
