Another Ryanair scam - paying twice for Priority Boarding on cancelled flights
I have two upcoming flights from East Midlands to Alicante with Ryanair. Each way I have a reserved seat and Priority Boarding.
They have cancelled the return flight so booked me on a flight day earlier. This will make my break too short so I went on line to move it back a couple of days. I am of course expecting to pay the difference in seat prices, which is fair enough but no change fee as it’s only been booked a few weeks.
What shocked me was Ryanair charge you again for priority boarding. I went on line to complain and was told when I first booked it is classed as a special offer which you don’t get when you rebook so they tried to charge me another €10 so ineffect I have paid €20 for priority boarding. If I try and book a new flight the cost is just €10.
Ryanair won’t see sense. I could of course take the refund (which I will get eventually) and book a new flight with just a €10 priority boarding cost. But that seems mad to me. Apparently it’s in their terms and conditions!!!
I have tried calling to see if someone will take a sensible approach but you can’t even join a queue on the phone. Does anyone have any experience of making Ryanair see common sense? I am happy to pay the difference in seat price.
