The formatting looks awful. I thought this was a fake. Like someone opened Word and typed this with the default style... Don't they have a more professional looking template?
Not all passengers. One passenger was arrested in Minsk. Why would they omit it/lie like that?
Except for a person, right?
The main purpose of that statement (as always with Ryanair) was to state it was outside of their control and therefore they will auto-reject any claims for delay compensation, regardless of legality.
I do not know why anyone uses them still. I find them awful in every way. Will stay-cation if I cannot afford the ticket with another airline.
9/10 times the service is near-identical to a flagship. 1/10 times, the sub-par exception handling reveals itself. That's a trade-off I make regularly to save 400 euros.
