My experience involved what I belie...

My experience involved what I believe were unfair luggage charges, misleading information from the check-in agent, and unacceptable treatment by a flight attendant. My experience was extremely disappointing and fell far below the level of professionalism and customer service that passengers should expect from an airline. 1. Excessive and Unfair Luggage Charges I was charged for luggage under circumstances that I believe were unfair and inadequately explained. The information provided by the check-in agent was confusing and misleading, leaving me uncertain about the applicable luggage requirements and charges. I request a detailed explanation of the charges applied to my booking and a review of whether these fees were correctly assessed. If the charges were applied incorrectly or resulted from misinformation provided by your staff, I expect a full refund of the amount charged. 2. Unacceptable Treatment by a Flight Attendant I was particularly upset by the conduct of a flight attendant who yelled at me when I attempted to sit next to my husband in an apparently empty row of seats. The manner in which I was addressed was humiliating, disrespectful, and entirely unnecessary. I understand that Ryanair may have seating policies and that crew members must enforce safety procedures. However, if there was a restriction on sitting in that row, it should have been communicated politely and professionally rather than through shouting and intimidation. I expect Ryanair to investigate this incident and review the conduct of the flight attendant involved. 3. Misleading Information from the Check-In Agent The check-in agent provided information that I found to be inaccurate and misleading, contributing to my confusion and frustration regarding the luggage requirements and additional charges. Passengers rely on airline staff to provide accurate information. When that information is unclear or incorrect, it can lead to unnecessary expenses, stress, and an unpleasant travel experience. I request that Ryanair investigate this matter and determine whether the agent followed the appropriate procedures. Requested Resolution I respectfully request that Ryanair: * Investigate the luggage charges and provide a clear, itemized explanation. * Refund any luggage fees that were incorrectly or unfairly charged. * Investigate the conduct of both the flight attendant and the check-in agent. * Provide a written explanation of the findings and any corrective action taken. * Offer appropriate compensation or a goodwill gesture in recognition of the distress, inconvenience, and poor customer service I experienced. I believe every passenger deserves to be treated with dignity, courtesy, and respect. As a paying customer traveling with my husband, I should not have to endure misleading information, unexpected charges, or being yelled at by a member of the cabin crew.

Flight delay

I have very bad experience from the last trip as they allowed the other passenger with a bag pack but not me with the personal bag. We had booked tickets for a concert in Lisbon and even I had booked my stay in Lisbon. I don’t understand what to do now .. it’s very stressfull that we paid so much amount to go and come back with all our expenses. I would be happy if all the cost which was involved be paid for this delay… if anything else is needed please reply. It’s very sad that I was taking my cousin along with me for the first time and he is also disappointed with the delay. I hope you understand our feelings and the loss we had for this delay. I would say we lost 800 euros for this trip. And that’s not a small amount

Ryanair: Humiliated and Charged €60 for My Medical Bag After My Medical Privacy Was Violated

Serious violation of medical privacy at Dublin Airport. A Ryanair staff member questioned me about my private medical information in front of others, despite me providing a doctor’s letter, then charged me €60 for my medical cooler bag containing essential medication. He was rude, refused to give me his name, and covered his name badge. No passenger should be made to disclose sensitive medical information or be treated with such disrespect just to travel with medically necessary items. This was humiliating, invasive, and completely unacceptable. Ryanair needs to take accountability.

They literally stole from our luggage…

This has been the most nightmare-inducing travel experience of my life. Multiple failures from Ryanair, zero accountability, and now apparent theft from our luggage. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: Baggage Mishandled – Due to Ryanair's own complications, our checked suitcase was removed from the flight at the last minute. They then "forgot" to reload it onto the plane. Our bag never arrived at destination. No Accountability – When we raised this, they promised to locate and send the bag. We got ZERO compensation for the hassle despite this being 100% their operational failure. Waiting Outside getting gassed by the plane exhaust – While waiting for the delayed boarding process, we were left standing outside for almost an hour breathing aircraft exhaust fumes. No proper shelter, no courtesy, no concern for passengers' health and comfort. Just exposed to pollution while they sorted out their mess. Bag Arrived Late – UNLOCKED & TAMPERED – Days later, the bag finally arrived at our address via their courier partner. It was UNLOCKED, and multiple items were clearly stolen. Someone had opened our suitcase either at the airport or during transit. Dismissive Customer Service – When we called Ryanair: Reps were condescending and rude Couldn't explain why the bag was unlocked Tried to blame their courier partner instead of accepting responsibility Showed ZERO interest in investigating or helping us THE BOTTOM LINE: Ryanair lost our bag due to their incompetence, refused compensation for the ordeal, then sent it back ransacked. Now items are missing and they're shifting blame everywhere except where it belongs: ON THEM. They chose the courier. They handled the baggage. They failed on every single front. The Montreal Convention makes airlines liable for contents lost while in their custody—and they're acting like we have no rights whatsoever. Plus they treat passengers like cattle—exposed to fumes while waiting, no accountability for delays, no respect for basic human dignity. DO NOT USE RYANAIR. If you want your belongings safe, if you want actual customer service, and if you want an airline that takes responsibility when things go wrong (because they WILL), choose literally anyone else. Jet2, easy jet —there are plenty of options that don't treat passengers like disposable nuisance. We are now escalating this to the UK Civil Aviation Authority and exploring legal action. This level of negligence and arrogance should not be tolerated by any company operating in the UK. To be frank, they need cancelling. I’m surprised they haven’t already been.

Flight delay

Ryanair is a joke. They cancelled my flight after sitting on the plane for 4 hours, to then try and say it was down to weather, however, the pilot had already informed us it was down to system failure. There were other flights leaving the Barcelona airport after the storm had passed so we could have easily continued the flight with a short delay, instead they cancelled the flight to then try and blame the weather leaving a lot of passengers running for the ticket office to get home. The ryanair app wouldn't submit and changes to another flight so if we were in the cue then some flights were days away. I received a text message within 2 minutes of the flight being cancelled to say there were no accommodations available to which paying for one was very expensive so leading to a 15+ hour stay in the airport with no food or drink as no machines were working or empty, burger king shut the main kiosk to order anything and their order stands were out of order due to recharging. There was no support in anyway, they didn't care. Ryanair will not be getting away with the excuse of blaming the weather saying it affected the whole airport when other flights were leaving with a delay until it passed, I strongly recommend other airlines as I will never be using ryanair again

Denied boarding

This attempt was 5 star. But I have been trying for a refund for almost 2 months. Some extremely helpful. Others you should sack! I always feel if you follow the rules with Ryanair you get what you pay for. But you need to add a few questions to your FAQ's eg on board food refunds (especially if you are charged twice)

Horrible service, rude and stubborn staff who don’t listen and cooperate with their paying customers. Who rather call security to show their “might”, whilst abusing their power and not allowing paying customers to board their flight which they were within the limits of allowed baggage.
