Default Anyone else hate RyanAir??

Bloody pikey fookers adding a million extra hidden costs at every stage

Flight is advertised at £60

Add tax

then baggage fees

then remove their insurance

than pay supplement for snowboards

then card handling fees

then conversion rates as its all in euros

the £60 is soon doubled

Fuckers

And then you end up flying with a bunch of gobby pissed up cunts as well

Packed in like sardines!! Alcohol is the cure though, and they sell vodka in 50ml sachets

Its probably cheaper to fly business class with BA all in, but they don't fly at the right times

no - i love them.

i've travelled with them a lot for what i consider to be a cheap price everytime. as long as your expectations are not too high, i find their service perfectly satisfactory.

as said, it's basically a bus for the sky, and what you pay reflects that if you book early enough.

Im flying to Italy with Ryanair next week from Stanstead. Whats the crack with bloody hand luggage and what I can carry?

Sorry to hijack the post.

So am I going to have to pay for hold luggage even though I booked the ticket months ago?

That's quite a bold statement mate. My best mate is a technician with Rolls-Royce and he says Ryanair have some of the most stringent service requirements of all the airlines. Any airline flying regularly in UK airspace can't and won't get away with lax maintenance.

I fly with the budget airlines quite a lot with my work and also going to the football and I've never had a problem with any of them. I don't particularly like Ryanair's sales ethic ie, constantly trying to sell you stuff mid flight when your trying to get some rest but you get what you pay for and people tend to forget that.

Also they have one of the most modern fleets in the world.

exactly. that's all part of the costs though isn't it? it would cost you more to get to the ba flight, pay to park or whatever. you have to weigh it all up and decide who you're going to fly with or if you're going to fly at all.

Maybe Smiggy.I have a lot of mates who have worked for ryanair and theyve told me that the lengths that ryanair go to for cost cutting reasons are shocking.These are guys who have worked in hangars for ryanair doing b and c checks on their 737s.I dont make statements like that without foundation.They have no reason whatsoever to lie to me.if you want I will talk to them next week and give you a few examples.
