Ryanair has a “recovery” fee for this scenario so they could have got on the next available flight for a fairly modest charge and then flown home on their original flight. This is already pretty reasonable from Ryanair and I do not see them getting anything else out of Ryanair. Possibly one for travel insurance but going on a completely different holiday and not using the return flight may limit the scope of this.
…
The next Ryanair flight was 4 days later, so it wouldn’t have given much time for the holiday. The original accommodation was no cost (owned by another family member) but wasn’t available beyond the planned dates, hence the booking of a totally new holiday elsewhere.
BTW, as I stated in the OP, the departure was from Edinburgh, not Stansted.
