Ryanair passenger cancels Spanish vacation to plan her 18yo son’s funeral, then receives the worst policy response: ‘not entitled to travel credit’

Tina McDermont said a four-day trip from Newcastle to Alicante never happened after her 18-year-old son, Billy, died. The 45-year-old civil servant told Kennedy News, as reported by the New York Post, that she and her husband had booked Ryanair for August 30 and paid £350 ($467).

She said Billy died in an undisclosed tragic accident. McDermont said there was “no way” she could take the vacation while arranging his funeral and that she wanted to remain at home with her “friends and family.”
