"Then they subsequently missed all the slots they'd been allocated. "I discovered that it was the code for not having enough cabin crew to operate the flight," he explained. It had resulted in heavy rain up to the Canary Islands - some 1,300 miles northeast of Benidorm.
However, Rob did some digging and found the storm was off the west coast of Africa and had finished the day before the flight was due on September 25 2022. In a response seen by the Mirror, they said passengers can claim compensation if a flight is cancelled or delayed more than three hours - but not if “caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken”. Ryanair's legal team eventually claimed the last minute change - which saw Rob and his party of eight friends waiting over four hours for their flight to Bristol - was down to issues surrounding Tropical Storm Hermine. He spent six months after the holiday in September last year chasing £220 in compensation, with the firm continually stalling, he says. Rob O'Malley, 50, claimed the budget airline had lied about the reasoning for his plane home to the UK from Alicante Airport being held up. A holidaymaker took Ryanair to small claims court after they failed to give him compensation over a delayed flight following a trip to Benidorm - and won.
