Brittany Ferries customer says he was 'shoddily' treated

A Brittany Ferries customer whose sailing to Cork was cancelled believes he was the victim of "shoddy treatment" after the company said it would not compensate him for the extra expense of travelling to another port to get home with a rival carrier.

Pete Bannigan said he, his wife, and another couple were due to sail back from Santander to Cork with Brittany Ferries on Sunday. But the sailing was cancelled due to an issue with one of the company’s vessels, causing havoc for thousands of travellers’ plans.
