A senior citizen who was parted from his bags after
a Ryanair flight to Dublin has successfully sued the
Irish discount carrier in Aberdeen’s small claims court.

The Irish discount airline has been ordered to pay Maurice O’Carroll £750 for frustration and extra expenses incurred after Ryanair lost the Aberdeen resident’s luggage.

O’Carroll noted that he only decided to take Ryanair to court after the carrier responded to his request for compensation by offering him a total of £7.50 in cash. In the small claims submission, O’Carroll claimed £200 for his expenses and £500 for stress and frustration and won his case. But Ryanair has already indicated that it has every intention to submit an appeal in the coming days.

ORIGINAL Boats Company will unveil South Africa’s
first private luxury motor yacht licensed to operate
from Cape Town to Robben Island Museum at an exclusive launch on September 26.

The operation is the brainchild of
the youngest inmate incarcerated on Robben Island during the anti-apartheid era, executive director Thabane Zulu.

“With current available choices limited to public ferries, we felt that it was time to create our own private, luxurious experience,” says Zulu. “Our aim is to plough back a portion of the revenue stream into the museum’s efficiency and management,
thus maintaining its unique symbolism.”
