Ryanair charged me £100 after saying flight was ‘too full' – even though I had a ticket & was first in line to board

A COUPLE were slapped with a £100 fine by Ryanair after the girlfriend refused to leave her boyfriend at the airport. Scott McCormick and his girlfriend Helena Boshwick, both 33, were looking forward to jetting off on a foreign jaunt to Mallorca from Birmingham Airport for a sun-kissed week away. 2 The couple opted not to reserve seats, which range between £4.50 and £33 depending on where travellers choose to sit. As they queued up to board, a Ryanair staffer approached the two and reportedly asked them to step aside and told them there was only one seat left. Scott and Helena were left with a big decision to make - Helena could board the flight on her own or turn the offer down and stay with her partner at the airport. She chose the latter, and found she would have to fork out an eye-watering amount for the privilege. When the couple returned to the check-in desk, they were reportedly told they still had to pay for one of the tickets, while Scott insists he never received a refund. As a result, Scott claims he had to shell out an additional £100 for a new ticket and a four-hour wait for the next flight out of Birmingham. A spokesperson for Ryanair said: "This flight from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca (1 May) was not 'overbooked' – it was scheduled to operate on a 737-8200 (197 seats) but for operational reasons had to be swapped to a 737-800 aircraft (189 seats). "As a result, one passenger was unable to travel on this flight, and was reaccommodated onto the next available flight to Palma de Mallorca. "Mr. McCormick's travel companion was not refused boarding but chose not to board and travel on this flight from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca and was required to pay a Missed Departure fee (£100) to be booked onto the next available flight. "Mr. McCormick was notified by email on the day of travel (1 May) that he was entitled to claim back reasonable receipted expenses, however Mr. McCormick has yet to submit any expense receipts to Ryanair.' After recounting his experience on social media, many suggested that Scott and Helena were targeted because they hadn't reserved seats - implying that a common strategy used by many to keep fares low could end up costing more. Scott, hailing from Birmingham, West Midlands, explained: "We checked in the night before and we didn't reserve a seat but you normally just get a random one. "Me and my partner thought it's not that much of a problem if we're not sitting together for a two-hour flight, we're adults here. "We arrived, everything proceeded as usual, went through security as normal, went to the gate after waiting a couple of hours and we were the first ones at the gate ready for boarding. "The lady scanned our boarding passes and told us to step to the side for a second. That moment was a red flag, I thought, 'there's something happening here'. "We stepped aside and watched all the people board the flight. I asked her to tell us what is going to happen and she said 'no'. "When everyone boarded, she said, 'the plane is full, there's only one seat remaining and we will have to reimburse you for the other seat or you'll have to get on the next flight.' "We were having a meltdown at this point. There was no compassion or care whatsoever. "After going back and forth we said we're not going to take separate flights and be in separate countries for hours. We said we wanted to get on the next flight together. "They said 'you can do that, we will fully reimburse both tickets and put you on the next flight for free'."

Vacations in turmoil as JetBlue slashes flights

Published: Updated: Vacations have been thrown into turmoil after JetBlue announced plans to slash summer flights. The budget airline is launching new cost-saving measures after weak travel demand is threatening its bottom line. JetBlue admitted that its chances of breaking even this year are 'unlikely', in a memo seen by Reuters. As a result the carrier is planning to wind down less popular routes and cutting its leadership team, CEO Joanna Geraghty told employees in the note. 'We're hopeful demand and bookings will rebound, but even a recovery won't fully offset the ground we've lost this year and our path back to profitability will take longer than we'd hoped,' Geraghty said. US airlines have taken a hit after President Trump's aggressive trade policies and border crackdowns have seen a significant pullback in travel to the US. JetBlue is not alone in scaling back capacity ahead of the summer travel season, with United also cutting four in every 100 of its domestic flights . 'While most airlines are feeling the impact, it's especially frustrating for us, as we had hoped to reach break-even operating margin this year, which now seems unlikely,' Geraghty explained. JetBlue is under additional financial strain as it us undergoing inspections of some of its engines, which has grounded a number of its aircraft. In other efforts to cut costs the airline is planning to park six of its Airbus jets instead of retrofitting them as initially planned. It comes after JetBlue previously pulled its full year forecast in April to readjust to the new demand environment. The company also previously announced its plans to make a $3 billion saving by deferring buying 44 new Airbus jets. JetBlue's shares are down more than 44 percent so far this year. Earlier this year United announced it would be axing flights due to a dip in demand for US travel. 'The softer economic situation is creating softer demand for travel,' CEO Scott Kirby told investors on the airline's first quarter earnings call in April. United said it also saw flights coming out of Canada see a 9 percent dip, with the rest of international demand coming in to the US down 6 percent. Canadians have been boycotting US travel after Trump threatened to make America's northern neighbor the '51st state.' As a result air travel dropped 13.5 percent in March compared to the same time last year. Flair Airlines was forced to abandoned its routes from Vancouver and Calgary to Phoenix, Arizona as a result of such low demand. Tourist hotspots that rely heavily on Canadian visitors, such as Buffalo, New York and Old Orchard Beach in Maine have seen dramatic drop-offs in visits. Some hotspots such as Palm Springs in California have even hung signs begging Canadians not to boycott them .

Now, in which idiot-proof place did I put my passport?

I was on my way to the airport on Sunday when, quite sensibly, I decided to check I had my passport. It would have been even more sensible to check before leaving the hotel, but hindsight's a wonderful thing. So is having a passport, which, at that moment on that pavement in Stockholm, I did not. Normal people would panic at this point but I'm not normal. I always lose my passport and then, a few minutes later, I always find it again. No cause for alarm. I took a deep breath and had another look. Still no passport. I tipped everything out of my bag and on to the pavement. Nothing, but I still didn't panic. There are people who are good at losing things and people who are good at finding things. I'm one of the former. Harriet is one of the latter. She knows where everything is at all times and it's such an amazing skill that I enjoy testing her. I'll say, 'Do you know where the Euro plug is?' and she'll say, 'Fourth drawer, cabinet, shower room.' I'll say, 'Have we still got that book about mushrooms?' and she'll say, 'One's in the green box in the loft and one's in the office next to the book about bees.' • Matt Rudd: We're off for a walk is everybody? Harriet was not in Stockholm and this was both good and bad news. It was good news because I could get on with the search without the eye-rolling. It was bad news because if she was here, the passport would be as well. I still didn't panic. Obviously I must have left it at the hotel. I packed my bag again and started running, not because I was panicking but because if I didn't run I'd miss the flight. So maybe panicking a little. The room was as I'd left it — tiny, sparsely furnished, not obviously containing a passport. I went through the bedding, I shook out the curtains, I looked in the mini-fridge and the bin. Nothing. I emptied my bag again. Still nothing. • Matt Rudd: How to beat the scammers? Bore them to death Then I decided to panic. I pulled off the bedsheets, flipped over the mattress, lifted up the cupboard and the rugs. Then I asked myself the world's most irritating question — 'Where did you last have it?' — and, to my astonishment, it helped. I last had the passport in this room yesterday morning. I had taken it out of my bag because I didn't want to lose it in the city because I know what I'm like. Of the people who are good at losing things, there are those who just accept it and those who adapt. I have tried to adapt. With some success I have trained myself to put my wallet and keys on the hall table the minute I get home. As a result I am proud to say that the frantic morning wallet-and-key search is now an exception rather than the rule. I have a list on my phone of Where Weird Things Are. It says things like 'rugby boot stud spanner next to shoe polish' and 'shoe polish next to rugby boot stud spanner'. And when I check into a hotel I make a mental note of where I put my passport. This system relies on good recall, which, in that sweaty, stressful moment, I did not have. All I could remember was that I'd put it 'somewhere clever' where burglars would least expect it — but the hotel room was tiny and I'd looked everywhere, clever and not clever. • Matt Rudd: I'm helping my son with his GCSE revision. But what's the point? The UK government website says it takes at least 48 hours to process an emergency travel document. I tried hard not to think about all the logistical repercussions of spending 'at least' two more days in Sweden. I ransacked the room again. Nothing. I looked at the bin. A flicker of a memory of a mental note. The newspaper? Maybe I'd put the passport inside to outfox the burglars and apparently myself. I grabbed it from the bin and shook it. No. I went back to the application: £125. Ouch. Plus a new flight. Ouch again. And hotels. Maybe one last look. And there it was, at the very bottom of the bin. It had dived out of the newspaper, commando-style, and snuck under a Coke can at exactly the wrong moment. In seconds I'd packed my bag again and was running. Could I still make the flight? I reached for my phone to check the time. No phone! Normal people would panic at this point but…
