Wow this has shocked me i have flown to girona with ryan air for the last 2 years and never had any problems with them flights was on time etc only thing i dont like about them is there not very good at landing planes they scare the hell out off me.

We have booked with easyjet to go to lloret this year for our stay to go over to perpignon as at the time of booking it was £70 cheaper pp im glad that we chose to travel for the extra time to save the money now than chose ryan air, its unfortunate that this has happened to u as i booked in january and im sure u would have got the flights for cheaper i know they are prices more now as i added an extra person to our trip.

I hope u manage to get ur money back in whole from ryan air i know they have steep prices for any changes there bad in that department

Does'nt affect me as I only fly long-haul.

But basically you get what you pay for.

We've only used Ryanair once - we were holidaying in Spain and flew out Ryanair Liverpool-Murcia and return Jet2 Alicante-Manchester.

Both were excellent trips, no delays and good service

Ryanair cancelled - I wonder how long before my money lands back on my card? (They say upto 7 days after the refund has been approved, can't see them approving it quickly though).

Easyjet booked but costing £200 more than Ryanair did, and well over £200 more than Easyjet would have cost when we originally booked months ago (but we wanted to fly to Girona rather than Barca). Just need to find a reasonabley priced car hire from the airport for 15 nights and that allows us to cross the border into France.

Anything less than a near perfect performance in Perpignan (something similar to Huddersfield in the cup last year) will be a little dissapointing after the trouble and expense that we have had to go through so far!

Try BUDGET for car rental in spain, we got a great deal last time we went over

Rather than book transfers from Barcelona a cheaper option is to take the airport bus into town and then get the direct bus to Tossa de Mar, its not expensive and takes about an hour, this link is for the timetable and prices rlclick hererl

We stayed in Tossa for the match last season and went to Barcelona for the day using the bus. You will enjoy Tossa, its a really nice place.
