Some airlines can really be a pain to travel with especially around the holiday season.
This guy’s flight got rescheduled multiple times.
Find out what he did after being frustrated about it for days!
So I booked a flight for the 24th of December to visit my grandparents.
Trying to be responsible I booked the flight 8 weeks in advance.
He knew his flight would cost him so he wasn’t overthinking the travel…
Payed 150€ for both flights( there and return) And sure, I’ll pay that 6€ for a suitcase. So all is good and I forget about the flight.
Well last week I get an email telling me that the flight time has changed, ok, I check it, Great!
It departs 2 hours earlier. No worries.
3 days later. PING. Another email, but now the flight is a day prior.
Uh oh. I have university that day. But let me see what I can do.
Contact customer service, jump trough hoops, but there is no alternative flight.
He found out something interesting…
Ok , while browsing I notice that the flight is now a bit cheaper, 40€ cheaper. So I ask if I can get a partial refund or an upgrade for the inconvenience of the flight leaving earlier and me reshuffling my schedule.
Well , nope, they insist that I can only accept the flight or cancel it fully.
I hold off.
Not worth the hassle, I think.
Who knows how long it takes to get my money back.
He thought he paid too much for the same flight!
So after a few days I check the flight, Wow they reduced the price, now the asking price is 7.99€, that’s almost free.
So I ask again, is a partial refund possible.
Ok, no problem, please cancel my booking.
24 hours later they notify me the full refund has been processed.
That’s INSANE!
Great now I book the flight again , for just 15€ there and back.
Now that’s a cheap flight.
The taxi to the airport costs me more.
But hey no partial refund
Yay! That seems like a great malicious compliance story!
The airlines were probably not clever enough when they thought of the policies.
Let’s find out what folks on Reddit have to say about this story.
This user is shocked people still fly with Ryanair.
.
This user’s dad always advised him to never travel with Ryanair.
That’s right! This user knows that the company shouldn’t be making so many changes!
This user thinks it is absurd that this airline is still in business.
This user has a question about the airline.
This airline needs to stop changing flight times if they want to stop losing customers.
