I can see where companies like Ryanair come from when they get a bill for £700-£1000 from someone who's ticket cost them £30.
If you buy a budget ticket expect budget accommodation and food, if your ticket is business class or above expect to be treated as such and have a higher claim.
If your on a package holiday then your tour operator will look after you.
Again just my opinion.

Well when I was last in Europe I could easily spend £30 on an evening meal, and that was then expensive option on the menu. Plus what if the resturants don't do kid options, so a family of 4 could easily spend £100 on an evening meal.
Plus the fact some hotels were charging in some cases 4 times the normal price.
I stayed in a 3 star hotel and that was £150 per night and included breakfast free, i was allowed £15 for noon meal and £40 for evening including a drink which could be booze.
Thank god I was on 100% expences.
