So, we had an interesting experience on our recent holiday to Malta, having cancelled flights with both FlyBe and RyanAir. Anyway, we had to make alternative travel arrangements in both cases, and I’ve just written to them expecting reimbursement for our cancellation, as per EU Regulations. It will be interesting to see what responses I get from each one and what process they will try and implements.

It was quite a harrowing experience, having to change airports and reroute while travelling with 2 newborn twins, a 3-year old and a pile of luggage. It’s going to take more than hair vitamins to get the stress out of my hair (what’s left of it) this time! And now I have to deal with the airlines. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
