- Small Flying Blue devaluation I have been expecting this for several months, frankly more than this, so if this is all for awhile that’s a (relative) win. And it appears to come with improved award availability, though of course availability has been sparse lately and continued generosity with space isn’t guaranteed to last.
Meanwhile it appears that Air France first class awards have been devalued by a lot but you need to be a Flying Blue Platinum to have access to those in any case.
- Ryanair sues passenger after flight diversion, demands compensation for lost duty free sales
Ryanair has provided a detailed breakdown of the costs it wants to claw back from an unruly passenger who it claims forced the pilots of a Dublin to Lanzarote flight last April to divert to Portugal because his behavior was so bad.
…Ryanair shelled out €7,000 for hotel accommodation for all 160 passengers and six crew members. The airline also had to pay €1,800 for a replacement crew, €2,500 in airport landing and handling fees, €800 in excess fuel payments and €2,500 in legal costs. In addition, Ryanair is also suing the unruly passenger for €750 in lost inflight sales, like food, drink and Duty Free. The total bill comes to €15,350.
