Ryanair just (22 minutes ago) realized they cannot win, did a poodle and now complies with European regulations.
Sadly this robs me of the opportunity to gloat at Ryanairs funeral.
The Guardian said:Ryanair backs down on paying passengers' costs
Ryanair says it will comply with EU rules and pay stranded passengers' costs having previously said it would only cover the cost of the original ticket
No-frills airline Ryanair today backed down on plans to break EU rules by limiting payouts to customers caught up in this week's flight chaos.
The Irish airline had said that passengers who had spent money on hotels and food as a result of having their flights cancelled or delayed would only receive a pay out up to the value of their original ticket, despite an EU regulation which clearly states that airlines must reimburse disrupted travellers for unexpected expenses.
However, after coming under pressure from consumer groups Ryanair said it would comply with regulation EU261 and pay "reasonable receipted expenses" to all passengers.
Sadly this robs me of the opportunity to gloat at Ryanairs funeral.
