• Suleman Shaikh, a newly minted physician in England, gifted his parents with a trip to Seville, Spain. Humaira and Farooq Shaikh were scheduled to leave on Oct. 4, and indeed they boarded a Ryanair flight -- but when they landed, they were in Greece.
It was their taxi driver who informed them of their whereabouts, so they returned to the airport, the Mirror reported.
But Ryanair agents laughed at their predicament and offered to cover only one night's hotel stay, even though the next flight back to London wasn't for four days.
Suleman said he's out about 1,100 pounds and is "completely outraged and shocked that this has been allowed to happen. It has triggered severe strain and anxiety on my parents."
But Ryanair stuck to its position: "It is the responsibility of every passenger to ensure they follow the correct procedures and take note of the information available to them." [Mirror, 11/18/2021]
