Verified ReviewerRefund problems

Ryanair delayed the flight I was booked on with my wife. I contacted them with plenty of notice to change my flight to the next morning.
I was guaranteed I wouldn't be charged any extra for this, as it was their fault and a very late departure, and they recognised I would not be able to make it on time as I had no way to get there at the late change time. Our conversation was recorded and monitored, and they have it all on record and told me I wouldn't be charged any extra fees, either for a change of flight or for the price difference.
I would appreciate the money being refunded as soon as possible, as I have rent to pay. Regards, Peter Thompson.

Verified Reviewer |Shocking Discrimination & Fraud by Ryanair at London Stansted – Avoid at All Costs!
I am writing this detailed complaint to share my horrific experience with Ryanair at London Stansted Airport on February 7, 2025, before Flight FR6199 to Hahn at 21:05. Ryanair's staff were aggressive, manipulative, and discriminatory, creating an unacceptable and humiliating situation that left my wife and me deeply distressed.
Discriminatory Treatment & Unjust Charges:
When my wife and I reached Gate 48, we noticed that every other female passenger was allowed to carry a handbag in addition to their main cabin bag. However, when my wife proceeded with the same, she was singled out and forced to pay £60 for her handbag, while others passed freely without additional charges.
We immediately asked fellow passengers if they had paid extra for their handbags, and every single one confirmed that they had not. This proves that Ryanair's baggage policy was selectively and unfairly enforced in our case, which is clear discrimination and a violation of fair customer treatment.
Aggressive Staff, Verbal Harassment & Public Humiliation:
When I politely questioned the charge and asked why my wife was being treated differently from other passengers, Ryanair's staff became extremely aggressive. They started shouting at us in front of everyone, creating an intimidating and embarrassing scene.
One blonde female employee went even further and publicly accused me of lying, loudly stating that I not my wife's husband. This was an unfounded, offensive, and completely inappropriate claim, and despite both my wife and I insisting otherwise, she mocked us in front of colleagues and passengers.
This public humiliation was unprofessional, unethical, and unacceptable. An airline should train its staff to assist passengers, not publicly shame them.
Manipulation, Threats & Possible Fraud:
In an effort to comply, I offered to place my wife's handbag inside my backpack, which would have fully adhered to Ryanair's baggage policy. However, the staff refused this reasonable solution, insisting that we had to pay the £60 charge.
They repeatedly threatened that we would not be allowed to board if we did not pay immediately. Feeling pressured, humiliated, and out of options, we were forced to pay.
Despite paying the fee under duress, we were denied a receipt for the payment. This raises serious concerns about fraudulent activity, as passengers should always receive a receipt for any additional charges. This unaccounted-for transaction was deeply suspicious and unprofessional.
Emotional & Physical Distress Caused by Ryanair's Staff:
Due to the aggressive intimidation, unfair treatment, and public shaming, my wife's blood pressure spiked dangerously high, leading to serious stress-related health issues. The entire situation was emotionally distressing and left us shaken.
Additionally, this was not just any flight for me. I was travelling for an official business trip as an invited speaker at the IoT Tech Expo in London, representing BMW as a Professor of Informatics & AI and Product Manager. Instead of preparing for my professional engagement, I was forced to endure harassment, threats, and intimidation at the hands of Ryanair's staff. This damaged my professional focus and negatively impacted my trip.
Ryanair Must Be Held Accountable!
This was not just an isolated case of bad customer service - this was outright harassment, discrimination, and unethical business behaviour. Ryanair's staff abused their authority, mistreated paying customers, and potentially engaged in fraudulent charging practices.
My Demands for Resolution:
1. Immediate refund of the £60 unjustly charged.
2. Formal disciplinary action against the responsible Ryanair employees, including Andrew Crane and the blonde female staff member.
3. A written apology from Ryanair, acknowledging the wrongful treatment and distress caused.
4. Compensation of £5,000 per person (£10,000 total) for the emotional distress, health impact, and reputational harm caused by Ryanair's unprofessional and aggressive behaviour.
Ryanair, Do You Think This Behaviour is Acceptable?
I demand an explanation from @Ryanair for why their staff feel entitled to mistreat and intimidate paying customers. How many more passengers have been bullied into paying unfair charges? How often do gate staff get away with this behaviour?
If Ryanair fails to respond appropriately, I will escalate this complaint to:
UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)
European Consumer Centre Germany (EVZ)
German Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA)
Legal authorities for discrimination, harassment, and fraudulent business practices.
This must stop! Passengers deserve fairness, transparency, and respect - not threats and intimidation. Do not fly Ryanair if you expect to be treated fairly and with dignity!

Verified ReviewerFlight Availability
Hi. We were supposed to have a flight to Manchester on January 24, 2025.
We couldn't get on the flight because of a devastating and life-threatening storm. On Knock airport website, we found information that the flights may only start at 2:45 p.m., our flight was at 2:30 p.m. so we did not expect that the flight would be made. In addition, buses did not run and transportation was prohibited on the advice of the Guard and the institutions.
Please refund our money so that we don't have to send this email to the inspectorate.
Thanks. My details NEDELJKO SKENDER 6 millrace Crescent Donegal Town- VASILIJE SKENDER 6 millrace Crescent Donegal Town.

Verified Reviewer |Bag check in horrendous
I paid priority , 40 euro each way to carry on a ten kg. It did not fit by so had to pay 75 euro to a rude Ryanair employee who told me to call someone to pay it for me when I suggested I might not have the money.
I then on my return had to pay another 35 euro. 190 euro to carry an 8kg bag as I weighed it. Two elder people had to pay 150 and again not treated with kindness.
I have used Ryanair all my life, I have respect for their policies,7 but common sense should go both ways. I did not have any problem with any of the lovely staff on board.
User's recommendation: Put everything in the hold as priority means nothing any more.

Verified Reviewer |They changed my name on system ,from my gmail
My name became A. instead of my full name, and they won't allow me to change it back so I can fly.
So, if my Gmail was 'pink panther,' that's what my ticket would say even though I booked with my full name. I called three times. The flight was 79 EUR with a 20kg checked in luggage and the name change is 160 EUR.
It's ridiculous! They just don't want to help me.
