Ryanair lays on extra flights for stranded passengers

Ryanair is to operate additional flights from Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Tenerife to Madrid this week, to get stranded passengers as far as mainland Europe. Onward travel will be at the passengers' own expense.

The flights will operate on Wednesday, April 21 and Thursday, April 22 from Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife to Madrid.

Ryanair passengers who have been disrupted by cancelled flights to or from the Canary Islands now have the option of transferring from their disrupted flights to these extra Madrid flights free of charge using the airline's Manage My Booking facility.

A limited number of seats will be available to passengers who opted for a refund from Ryanair, but still find themselves disrupted on the Canary Islands, for a special one way fare of €100 including taxes and charges, also available on the airline's site.
