...that. The trouble is, RyanAir fly from my local airport - Stansted - offer exceptionally low prices - £1.54 per person plus taxes on our last trip to Spain - and have good links to most European destinations that I've needed to travel to for fun and income. Often, the decision to use this airline has not been mine, but a financial decision by former employers. But if the above was all I needed then this review would be over already, with a big ...

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: Bargain flights for young mobile people with no luggage
Disadvantages: Watch-out for terms and conditions on all deals

...was semi okay was the Ryanair logo. I got to know that logo. Then something flashed up 'Delay' - great an English word, was I going to get another word to ease my inquiring mind; no. - A blank screen and the fog was descending further and getting worse. - the airport shops were closing down, except for a Kiosk, maybe information has been transporting directly to the Kiosk and it was with-holding vital flight details just to test my Spanish, I got ...

Advantages: Cheap, empty seats
Disadvantages: Deceiving booking system. Delays

...wasting money on it." So Ryanair came in nicely as it was the only budget airline, I could find, flying to Grenoble from Ireland. They were flying only flying from Dublin which was a but of an inconvenience but it'd have to do. Ryanair played their mind games with me when it came to price. 44.99 euro for the flight out and the flight home was FREE! "My God" says I "This dreadful, prolonged friend isn't costing me a penny to escape from. That's ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap(ish), quick check-in if you're lucky
Disadvantages: Soulless, unforgiving staff, 'couldn't care less' attitude

...said holiday home. Sarcasm aside, Ryanair continues to exist as a supposed purveyor of dirt cheap flights to a range of European locations, buoyed up by a vast range of additional costs, surcharges and add-on sales. Shameless self-publicists, Money Saving Expert et al. are seldom free of banner headlines declaring yet another '1p sale' from the champions of misinformation at Ryanair. *Flight booking with Ryanair - more 'will they, won't they?' ...

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: Low fares! Extensive range of routes and destinations. Good Punctuality
Disadvantages: Can be uncomfortable on longer flights. Extra charges expensive if you don't play by their rules.

...be an extreme bulk of Ryanair reviews, I feel that I should add my opinion especially as the firm has just take one more radical step into the ever changing world of “no-frills” flying. I must admit, I was sceptical of this company at first, but when I took my first flight with them in February 2004 I began to appreciate what Ryanair had done to transform the world of aviation. Now I would call myself a regular user, generally flying with them half ... 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

...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
