You get what you pay for.....so suck it.

Not telling the pax that you are landing in Leige is a bit dickish (if it actually happened that way). True, you get what you pay for, but there should be some basic communication. Pax should have been told before the delayed departure that there was a diversion possibility (night curfew)and given the option to get off. Ryanair ain't known for good customer service.

I remember a few years ago in CMH when Skybus canceled a few flights. The passengers showed up at the airport to find out about the cancellations. They then went to the ticket counter to find out there was none for Skybus. Finally a Skybus rep showed up to tell these passengers their tickets would be refunded. Now these passengers are furious as they're all packed up and at the airport. The passengers would then walk over to the other airlines' ticket counters to find out a last minute round trip ticket was about a grand. Their original tickets were a few hundred. People were crying, but it was hard for me to feel sorry for them. You get what you pay for.

Totally agree all those thing SHOULD have been done. But, it warms my heart when cheap folks get treated "cheaply"

Some things you just gotta learn the hard way.

Reminds me of a time about 8 years ago when my connecting flight to SAN from DFW was delayed for about 2 hours putting our 11pm arrival well after midnight. They boarded like nothing was wrong but a two hour delay and about an hour out of SOCAL they came over the PA and said, permission to land at SAN after curfew was denied so we will be landing at LAX, but not to worry, busses will be standing by to complete the trip. My supposed 11pm arrival in SAN actually took place at 3:30am. Many were not happy, but somehow AA seemed to transfer all their anger towards the city of San Diego, despite the fact that AA took off late and knew they couldn't land at SAN when they left.

So if you buy a r/t ticket for $300 are you going to say no thats not enough I want to pay $600 so I don't look cheap? Maybe next time you buy a car buy it for 10 grand over MSRP so you don't look cheap.

Nope. Not going to pay that...but if some used car salesman tells me that I can have a "like new" BMW for $1500, I'm not going to gripe (or be surprised) when it breaks down driving out of the lot either!
