Knock Airport Responds to Heathrow Flight Listing Error Confusion

Ireland West Airport addressed a flight mix-up. A Heathrow Airport listing showed flights to Galway, but Ireland West Airport is actually in Knock. A social media user noticed the error and flagged it to Ireland West Airport. The airport joked about being “Galway’s airport,” claiming the error had been noted.

The airport often makes witty social media replies. Last December, Dublin Airport decorated for Christmas with green and red lighting. Dublin Airport joked that it was not for Mayo’s football win. Ireland West Airport quoted Oscar Wilde, implying Dublin Airport was copying them. Dublin Airport replied with a joke, and Ireland West replied that Wilde spent his childhood in Mayo.

Separately, a Ryanair passenger, Bex, paid more for check-in than her flight and said she felt “scammed” on social media. She paid £55 for check-in, while her flight cost only £32. She couldn’t reach Ryanair by phone, and she seemingly forgot to check in online.

Many TikTok users defended Ryanair, pointing out the need to check in online. One user stressed the check-in policy, and another said Ryanair is good if you follow the rules. Someone said doing so keeps flight prices low.

Bex also received some support. One person faced a similar situation, citing a Whizz Air fee. Another person recalled a large airport charge and advised using a credit card for bookings. They recommended disputing charges with the card company. Ryanair has yet to comment.
