In response to the recent closure of Heathrow Airport, travelers expressed their dissatisfaction on social media regarding the increased prices for flights. Airlines like Ryanair have added extra flights from Dublin to Stansted but at significantly inflated rates ranging from 149.99 to 308.51 for one-way tickets. Some users criticized these costs as excessive, questioning the intent behind the so-called rescue flights. Conversely, others acknowledged the necessity of these flights given the airport disruptions, suggesting they might be necessary until the situation resolves.
One user on X commented: Hugely inflated cost, it's hardly a rescue is it? Another added: Rescue = 300? How?
However, in light of the situation having a knock-on effect at airports across the UK, another user added: Would you rather they [Ryanair] did nothing?
Prices currently show ranging from 149.99 to 308.51, with some arguing that prices are too high for the extra flights provided due to the Heathrow closure.
Ryanair announced earlier this morning that it is operating four extra flights between Dublin and Stansted as prices surge amid the ongoing Heathrow disruption.
