Ryanair Calls £4,425 Compensation over Couple's Luggage 'Ludicrous'

Edinburgh Sheriff Court awarded £4,425 compensation for a lost suitcase, but Ryanair denies liability and has filed an appeal against the ruling.

  • In July 2025, Edinburgh Sheriff Court ordered Ryanair to pay £4,425.37 following the couple's legal claim registered earlier that year.
  • Rosie McGrane's short trip to Copenhagen ended with a missing checked suitcase; Ryanair said it had not left Edinburgh Airport and would be forwarded to a friend's address in Denmark, but it never arrived.
  • After filing an itemised claim and submitting receipts, Rosie and her husband say Ryanair closed their case on 3 June after they repeatedly emailed and lodged a 2024 complaint.
  • Sheriff officers faced service issues at Edinburgh Airport due to subcontractor claims, so the decree was sent to Ryanair head office in Dublin, which lodged a recall with an October 2025 response deadline.
  • Rosie said one of the biggest losses was a custom Saltire, and she has received no payment from the court award, highlighting difficulties for ordinary consumers.
