...which is fair on options 1 and 2, but Ryanair/buzz can't offer them IMO. Option 3 is fair if they also take over the cost of your cancelled hotel/car reservations. They can not just cancel their flight without any liability if they did confirm your booking already. I'm quite sure on that and I guess that at least a german court would also say so. They decide to cancel the flight - they have to pay you for your expenses.

A valid contract was made and now they decide to cancel it one-sided. A clear case of "Schadenersatz wegen Nichterfüllung" by german laws (and I guess other countries have similar things). They can't exclude such things by T&C's as this would actually break a law - therefore option 3 alone is not valid if you had spent any money for hotel/car already.


I wonder what this decission will cost them...
