Why is travelling so difficult from England - I am about to rant about how I got fined going to an airport then my plane didn't even have a Pilot. @Ryanair and @Stansted_Exp are terrible.
So I paid £40 for a Flight from London Stansted to Lanzarote, 28th August 10:25AM. Excited little getaway to restore my humanity that 2020 has taken ! All I need to do is be on time and get there for 8:30am.
I arrive at Tottenham Hale Station and ask the Guy what platform is stansted he said "Just through the barriers platform for on your left" So I tap my Bank card and proceeded to a 30min Journey to Stansted..
I arrive at Stansted airport where I was met with a different layout to what I'm used to, no barrier to Tap out, just staff. I ask where do I tap out, The girl Laughed and responded "You don't, now you will be fined for now having a ticket" if you saw my face in confusion 😶
So I argue the fact that Why are people able to Tap their card/oyster into Tottenham Hale barriers and get on the Stansted Express train IF they should have had a ticket, why are there no seperate staff to check for Tickets to Stansted, especially tourist who dont live in London.
This is the terrible communication and travel organisation of @TfL and @Stansted_Exp London in 2020 still can't create a transport system that is easy to manoeuvre through without getting fines.
After arguing I just couldn't be bothered so I payed the £40 fine and went to check-In my flight. It is now 8:30am in the very disorganised, 2sided check-in queue. I arrive at the Checkin point at 8:45 and the lady said I have missed my check-In so I will be fined £55 to board😶
First of all, the Ryanair App would not allow me to See my Trip or even Check-in a day before - so I thought ahh its okay I fly @easyJet alot they usually let me off for apps errors. At the Ryanair CheckIn Im Told " you are late by 20min even with screenshot - fine is £55" 😶
At this point im just fuming under this annoying mask and just want to be away from this stupidity of London and into Lanzarote sun so I just pay for it. Just to make sure theres no more surprises I weighed the 10kg Bag @Ryanair charges you £10 to use as Cabin Luggage. 😤
So here is where things just become even more weird. Its 9:40am I'm boarding the @Ryanair flight that is taking off at... supposed to take off at 10:25AM.... now its 10:15AM and we announce we are ready to g.... @EssexPoliceSTN come on my Flight and Arrest my Pilot 😶
THEY ARRESTED MY PILOT JUST BEFORE TAKE OFF 😶
WE ARE ONLY MOVING TO LIFT OFF NOW AT 11:20AM. A FLIGHT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT 10:25AM. @Ryanair @Ryanair_ES @RyanairFlights @RyanairPress what kind of weird behaviour is this. A flight with on 20 people in it and you're still messing up.
I have a Car rental in Lanzarote which I will be charged for late pickup :/
