Re: Ryanair in 2017

Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2017

Yesterday's Air Transat service from Brussels to Montreal was diverted to Ottawa due to bad weather at Montreal.

On check-in in Houston I wanted to change seats because the app wasn't allowing it for some reason. The check-in...
