We booked them for a weekend break in Edinburgh, due to fly up at 8am Friday, 10 days before the flight, it was changed to 10:30pm Friday, effectively reducing the three days to two ! Fortunately managed to rebook with Flybe on their 9am flight, but what a struggle getting a refund from RyanAir, which at the time (2008) required sending a fax to a number in Dublin. Only got paid after I instigated a Section 75 order on them via my Credit Card company.
Tbf, schedule changes do happen for a number of different reasons but it’s generally quite rare so late on. That’s because being within 14 days, such a change would have made you eligible for EU261 in addition to your refund.
Yes, I've had schedule changes quite often, but normally an hour or two, so no big deal. To shift a flight from first thing in the morning to last thing at night, is quite something!
This is what Ryanair does. It puts out outrageous ads and statements as publicity stunts. It's clearly part of their marketing strategy. And getting the ad banned plays into this. I don't know why anyone's surprised.
The company doesn't care what people think of them, as long as people know they can get cheap flights to where they want to go.
I had a horrible experience once on a Ryanair flight, sat in front of a bunch of drunk, abusive yobs who continued to be served alcohol for four hours. I vowed I'd never use them again... but I have done.
