Is it fair for Ryanair to pay compensation?

21 April 2010

Poll Started 22 April 2010: Is it fair for Ryanair to pay compensation? Ryanair’s boss was mooting while it will give flight refunds, the EU regulations of covering people’s food and accommodation for days of volcano delays are absurd for it (though it will follow them). His argument is it’s ridiculous that people only bought super-cheap £20ish tickets, yet the airline should then have to pay out £100s in hotel bills. Which of these is closer to your opinion?

Is it fair for Ryanair to pay compensation?

Ryanair’s boss was mooting while it will give flight refunds, the EU regulations of covering people’s food and accommodation for days of volcano delays are absurd for it (though it will follow them).

His argument is it’s ridiculous that people only bought super-cheap £20ish tickets, yet the airline should then have to pay out £100s in hotel bills.

Which of these is closer to your opinion?

A. Ryanair’s right. Why does buying a super-cheap flight gain the right to a hotel room? 2,121 votes (41 %)
B. Ryanair’s wrong. It knows the rules & should price accordingly. 3,100 votes (59 %)

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
