“First you double charged me, promised a refund within ten working days. Then you forced me to pay you extra money on top of that otherwise “I wouldn’t fly back”, the irate customer wrote under the Twitter handle polishpotato.

Ryanair replied to Richard “Being chased by a lion would make you walk faster tbf”.
