Ryanair - RYR > Reviews

Advantages: Cheap as chips
Disadvantages: You know it's cheap!

...say that I have used Ryanair on numerous occasions and until my last flight I had never had any problems. These I will go into later, first a bit about Ryanair. *************** The Company *************** Founded in 1985 Ryanair are based in Ireland and are currently Europe's largest low-cost carrier (according to wikipedia anyway). Certainly I remember in the news over the past year or so that they seem to keep purchasing new aircraft suggesting ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, cheap, cheap.... can get you to places weird and wonderfull at a fraction of a normal price
Disadvantages: airports choice (especially for big cities); in-flight food and drink; not very helpful when things go wrong (or so it is said)

...been considering NOT writing another Ryanair review as there seems to be great many on the site already (over 140). However, majority of them are quite old and the last one is from December last year so I decided to describe the Ryanair experience without putting too much of the general factual information into the op. However, to keep the obsession with completeness satisfied, here is some basics, feel free to skip if you know everything or even ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap flights, efficient, new aircraft
Disadvantages: No communication from staff to their customers, staff not overly friendly.

...flights were currently available with Ryanair from just 1p each way and this was including taxes!! I had a quick look at the destination and discovered that there was the option of Dublin or Milan as we had both decided to take a week off anyway as we desperately needed a break from work and we had started to get stressed out, I wanted to try and get this break as cheap as possible and when I looked at Milan the flights were not all that cheap so ...

Advantages: how much cheaper can you get?
Disadvantages: cheapness comes with a price

...are hundreds of opinions about Ryanair around there, but at first sight quite alarming amount of them seem to be positive. And why are they positive? Because whatever happens to some few thousand unfortunate passengers travelling on Ryanair, there are always tens of thousands of people who enjoy their cheap air travel and with a bit of luck, without problems. NO THRILLS, NO FRILLS. Ryanair has taken to this point a bit too literally. This policy ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap as chips. Planes can fly.
Disadvantages: Dirty, slow, basic

...far as to suggest that Ryanair tried to murder them. On purpose. In a nutshell, I've used them 3 times in the last 4 years and they were fine. Value for money! ************** Start with the biggy. Look here - they are cheap. Last summer we got 3 people to Italy and back for £120. For that price we are lucky to get a plane with wings. It would have been fair to assume we were going to have to stick our feet out of the bottom and run Flintstone-esque. ... Read review

Advantages: see below
Disadvantages: see below

...of the excellent offers that Ryanair have. Like any budget airline, the price of tickets rises the closer you get to the date on which you are going to fly. If you spot a really cheap flight, it is often better to take it right away as you could go back the next day and the price may have doubled by then. Another thing about the prices of flights, in particular to the continent, is that the return flight is almost always a lot more than the flight ... Read review

Advantages: Heavy discounts for advanced bookings. Easy online booking.
Disadvantages: Expensive in-flight refreshments, cramped seating, poor baggage allowance.

...from A to B, cheaply! RyanAir certainly performed in this department and I would recommend it to anyone in a similar situation. Now, when your studying for a Geology degree like me you get to choose from a wide range of exotic destinations to do your fieldwork such as Spain and Cyprus. But alas, money constraints meant that for us a trip to Ireland was in order. We looked around for a budget airline that would fly us to Dublin and we decided to ... Read review

Advantages: They get you there I suppose
Disadvantages: Dubious prices, rubbish crew and no customer serivce

Founded in 1985 Lyingair has grow to become one of the big European players in the low airfares, short haul passenger market. They are renowned for good deals, cheap airfares and expensive in-flight sandwiches. I was recommended to Lyingair by a friend, 'They're cheap and you can't go wrong with them', he said. Getting a flight with Lyingair is easiest over the internet. Forget any other way of booking, phone, letter or email, as no one above an ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap Flights!
Disadvantages: Chaotic at times!

...Switch. It also stated that Ryanair was a ticketless airline which meant that if I decided to book then no tickets would be issued, each passenger would have to bring along suitable photographic identification along with the confirmation number at time of booking in which is normally 2 hours prior to each departure. I proceeded to book and entered details of all passengers including full names and my home address, contact email and phone number, ... Read review

Advantages: Very cheap flights, various destinations
Disadvantages: No luxury here

Ryanair have to be one of the cheapest airlines around. They have now expanded their bases around the UK and you can get to destinations (mainly Dublin I have to say) from an airport fairly local to you. Stansted is still the main airport but there is a fair range of destinations to be chosen from this airport. Choose from airports in: · France · Spain · Italy · Sweden · Germany · Belgium · Sardinia · Ireland And others are available. OUR ... Read review

Advantages: good leg room, snacks service
Disadvantages: delays, not the cleanest

...before I have heard of Ryanair as have most people but I still hadn't flown with them yet. Easyjet are not as cheap as they used to be so I looked at Ryanair, I was booking my flight to Ireland and having checked out many airlines they definitely offered the best as my flight worked out as being somewhere around £25 which for a return to me is amazing. The website is very easy to use as you just click where you are starting from and where you ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap price
Disadvantages: Heavy taxes on top of cheap price

My best friend from Australia was staying with me for a couple of weeks up until recently and while she was here I wanted us to get away for a couple of days. A short 2 day trip to Milan was what I had in mind and Ryan Air came up trumps. Just by chance the weekend I was looking at flights they had a special deal on with fares starting at just £6.99 each way! 24 hours later it was all booked. The flights were booked a month in advance - flying ... Read review
