My friends flight was cancelled but mine wasn’t, what can I do?
I wanted to fly to Spain over the next weekend with some friends. They wanted to fly on Thursday evening and I had to fly on Friday morning, because I have to work on Thursday and can't make it. Now my friends' flight has been cancelled due to strikes and I would be stuck in Spain alone. Is there anything I can do ?
We booked with the same airline(unfortunately Ryanair) but from different departure airports.
Best Answer
Your friends could simply book a different flight. Presumably, their tickets were cancelled by the airlines, so they got their money back. Use that money (and probably some on top) to buy tickets on a different flight. There may even be availability on the flight you are taking.
