Ryanair cancel special flight to Shels match
15:37 Monday August 16th 2004
Ryanair have been forced to cancel a specially arranged flight to Spain for next week's Champions League match between Shelbourne and Deportivo La Coruna. Poor sales are being blamed and the airline has said that it is disappointed with the uptake. However, fans had complained that the price of €299 euro plus taxes & charges was too expensive. Any passengers who had booked will be given full refunds.
apparently ryanair will still put this flight on if there's interest and some of the fans are trying to stir it up.
for the record the flight was €129 ew plus taxes plus transfers
It is a bit steep alright and there is no doubt that Ryanair are taking advantage. But it is still cheaper than the alternatives, including accommodation. I think the critics want Ryanair to run it for nothing.Quote:

They're in the middle of their school holidays so they have no excuses..Quote:
