I think Ryanair are being real idiots, checking in passengers and saying that they're going to fly whilst a ban is on, I mean for goodness sake haven't they seen what ash can do to a jet engine? I sure as hell wouldn't fly through an ash cloud, no matter what density it was.

EDIT: And, you know, once upon a time they'd have laid on extra trains to take passengers south to airports not affected by the ash cloud so that they could fly out. But I guess communication is too scare a resource to waste on the public...
