Ireland is dealing with a bad storm at the moment, which is having quite the impact on airlines. Well, there’s one Ryanair that had a particularly noteworthy journey, as flagged by reader Matt. Let’s take a look at the saga of Ryanair flight 633, 6333, and 6300 (all the flight numbers used for this journey!).

What a night last night all across the UK/Ireland, certainly the worst wind we've had in quite a while! So many diversions, including lots to the continent, quite a few Ryanair flights bound for EDI ended up in CGN, an easyJet for MAN went to LYS, and that's only to name a few!
Wonder how this worked out for those without visa free or authorization to enter the UK, given its not in the schengen zone with Denmark
Passengers were put up in hotel rooms? That would not had happen with any US airline given it would have been attributed to weather.
Not sure about that. I thought that if you are diverted to a city not on your original itinerary you would get reimbursed for hotels?
It was a crazy day here yesterday in Dublin. So many flights diverted and in holdings patterns for long periods at 7,000 feet, in horrific conditions. I'm amazed planes kept trying to land, two out of every three seemed to be going round.
Ireland and the UK honor each others admissibility requirements under the CTA.
One, per the original booking. We don't do that kind of crap on this side of the Atlantic.
There's a very few people not eligible to enter the UK but eligible to enter Ireland, even before we consider that 99% of passengers on this route are likely to be EU citizens who have no issues entering the UK.
I fly quite a lot and Sunday wasn't great for being in the air. Safety is the priority.
In these cases nobody seems to care. I was once transferred to a flight, after an incident, and didn't even have a boarding pass (not just me).
My friend flew Easy Jet from Edinburgh to Bristol an internal flight so no need for a passport and ended up in Paris for the night on the airport floor as not allowed into France
None, it’s considered an « act of god » (bird strike, bad weather, volcanoes, etc) and therefore not entitled for compensation!
Not true, we were left to sleep in Liverpool Airport, there was no offer of Hotel Accommodation
People were not put in hotels. My fiancé was on that flight and he slept on a couch at Liverpool Airport's Starbucks. They also were not given any food during that time - only 1 330ml bottle of water.
