Oh my heart bleeds you **** whinging Irish ****t.
"Ryanair repeated its argument against the rules in its latest results statement, saying that airlines operated under a far more restrictive regime than rival modes of transport, such as ferries and buses."
Thems is the rules, if you don't like it don't operate an airline.
Twunt!
have you had a bad experince with ryanair or you dislike irish?
I use them almost on a weekly basis and there service is quite good.
can't stand the whinging Irishman!
They are fine 'til something goes wrong, thanksfully I've yet to have a problem.
Ive had problems with them and found them to be unbearable to deal with. I will never, in a million years, ever give that irish tosser another penny of my cash.

+1. Return flight to Spain for £8.02 all in a while ago was fine with me. 
If you can play their game you're alright, as soon as anything goes wrong and you want a refund...forget it.
*Ryanair.
I've never had a problem with them.
I suppose it's all down to experiences. I will never fly BA, not giving that 'english twunt' (if the nationality of the chairman has anything to do with it) as I've had shocking treatment from them.
I would choose BA as my first choice on my most travelled route. They are consistently the best. Funny that!
to be shure
I hate travelling with BA.
As soon as you get anywhere near an airport he starts saying stuff like "I ain't gettin' on plane fool"
In related news, Ryanair to increase airfares by 24%.

mmmm The CEO is actually Irish
irish/english it's all the same to me 
the least bike friendly airline ive ever encountered
and as for hidden charges........
last year advertised 5 quid each way to grenoble, so i was gonna fly out with them for the mega
final cost with bike...... 135 quid
which still isnt a bad price but its just all the bullcr@p and extra charges they tack on alonmg the way that annoys me
basically they lie to you on the website so i dont trust them
doesnt help that the oleary is a whinging tossbag either
I think my perception of Ryanair as an organisation with an acute psychiatric illness is purely down to the efforts of the Daily Mash, but I've never succeeded in getting a cheap deal out of a budget airline, so I just get a moderately expensive deal out of a proper airline instead. It costs the same, but causes less anguish.
American Airlines charged me £250 or so to take my bike to America. Rode it twice 
It's free with BA.
I've used them a few times & they've been fine
The one time it went wrong was horrendous though - the flight was cancelled & I was left with finding my own way home from Gerona with a disabled wife in a wheelchair & 3 kids in tow
We were basically told to f off
my 'work' commute £104 return Ryanair, 1 hr 10mins direct flight. No crap sandwiches or free drinks, so I usually spend another £6 buying water & snacks at the airport. Leave office at 12.00 Friday in my house 4.30pm. Delays at most 1.5hrs.
BA or KLM. £400 return, flight connection through London/Amsterdam, 4 to 6 hrs journey. Leave office at 12.00 Friday, home at 7.30 or 9.45. Delays overnighter in some crappy airport hotel to get up again for a redeye.
Ryanairs PROFITS down 24%
Have a look at the financial situation of the other airlines, including BA. They would be delighted to have made any profit in the last 2 years.
Must be doing something right.
it is worth going on ryanair every few years just to remind you actually how good flybe, easyjet et al. actually are.
at least the others don't sell you a scratch card.
having said that the ryan air hostess did give me her number, shame she looked like her make up was applied by a colourblind maniac with an assult rifle.
Lobby, you are lucky. Every time I've tried to do a work-related journey on a budget airline I get the opposite result.
The thought of even flying with Ryanair makes me heave, all the best those that do. I tend to believe you get what you pay for in life.
Crap service? I had flights booked with Lufthansa and they changed the flights without telling me. I had booked seats onto an Edunburgh-frankfurt flight, and then found out that the flight had been cancelled and I'd been transferred onto EDI-LHR then LHR-FRA. leaving Edinburgh 30 minutes earlier. They had also cancelled my Portland-Frankfurt flight and re-routed me from Seattle, again without seeing the need to tell me, even though internal US flights were booked through them. And this was all business class. At least when Ryanair treat you like sh1t, they don't charge a fortune for the pleasure of shafting you.
Ryanair wouldn't have transferred you though
They'd have simply said no & pulled the shutter down on the kiosk in your face @ midnight
Lufthansa are also crap, would not fly with them either
I've done between 50 and 150 flights a year for the last 10 years and flown with most airlines in Europe and the US. The only one I absolutely avoid at all costs is Ryanair because of their customer service, actual vs headline pricing, and questionable operating practices.
The airlines that run Ryanair close are TAP and Iberia. BA consistently the best IME

Me and the missus flew to Dublin from Bristol for free with Ryanair .Something to do with flights or seats not being sold .Yes totally free I took her to Dublin just for lunch on her 40th
I'm still waiting for a refund for my cancelled flight when ash was big news. Passed it on to the CC company now.
For me though it's charges like £5 each way unless you have a really specific pre paid CC, or £40 if you don't check in online, £40 ferkin' pounds!
Ryanair - you get what you pay for. As long as you play the "game" - handluggage only, book on-line, expect no help if anything goes wrong (yep had the told to f-off at 7pm Friday evening in Austria with no more flights for 3 days), don't buy any food of them, expect no pleasant treatment - then it's a cheap seat for a hour or two to get somewhere.
Expect anything else and you will be sorely disappointed.I fly a huge amount to Europe and rest of world and I book Ryanair occassionally (they are my least favourite airline) but I have low expectations - which they usually meet.
For millions of people they have provided air travel which they couldn't otherwise afford - which can be a bad thing.
Agree with Tony. Don't expect anything but to get there within a 12 hour window of when you're scheduled to, and you'll be fine.
American Airlines charged me £250 or so to take my bike to America. Rode it twiceIt's free with BA.
BA, OTOH - bunch of snotty, incompetent, smug **** for the most part. Crap food, crap IFE. Can't *stand* them. I'd practically rather fly RyanAir.
When you add up all the hidden charges with Ryanair, and the time and cost of getting to where you actually want to be from the grubby little airport they fly into, it's often quicker and as cheap to fly with a full service airline. Trouble is people don't even bother to check because they assume Ryanair will be much cheaper

lol, think thats a stipulation - extra precaution in case of engine failure. The make-up would light up like the guiding stripes on the floor. But seriously I hate flying Ryanair. Its never worked out cheaper for me.
