    Advantages Advantages Very Cheap Flights. "Interesting" Destinations. Looked After Me!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages "Interesting Destinations". Cut Price Service at Stanstead.

    Update: 14.02.06. Following last night's Channel 4 "Despatches" programme I have to say that if I knew then, what I know now, I would definitely NOT be flying on Ryanair. Whilst my opinion remains that the media generally give the low cost airlines a "bad press" and that this programme went "looking" for trouble, the number of very obvious safety and procedure breaches that they found was too great in number to be dismissed as "minor" or in any way "one off" occurrences. My following review has not been altered in any way, as it remains a truthful accound of our experiences on the day, which I ... more

    4 Stars RYANAIR - THE PEOPLE'S AIRLINE IN THE SKIES 26/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap tickets, lots of destinations

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Secondary airports, 'point to point'

    I will be writing about the airline company which took me on my last foreign trip, namely Ryanair. There are times in life when there comes a moment that you have had enough, be it because of other people, work is becoming too stressed or studies are driving you mad … that you then decide to find some sort of outlet which will relieve those pressures and stresses. To relieve all these pressures, there are many outlets and many different ways of doing things. If time is precious, you can go to the cinema, you can go out with friends, and if you have a little bit more time available, you can ... more

    2 Stars The "on time airline"?? You get what you pay for Review with images 01/09/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap flights if you get them in time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages rude staff, dirty planes, not reliable in my experience

    This year we were planning on having a nice family holiday but as things turned out, we couldn't go when we wanted to and we also decided to do a lot of work on the house so just couldn't afford to do both. The kids were really disappointed that we weren't going on a plane as my daughter has only been abroad once (to Euro Disney, which we travelled to on the Euro Tunnel) and my 4 year old son has never travelled abroad. Two years ago me and my husband went to Majorca and we really wanted to take the kids over there but in the end, we just couldn't do it this year. I was laid in bed one night a ... more

    5 Stars The Ultimate Guide to Ryanair. 30/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages CHEAP (1p), Punctual, Network of Routes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be Unclean, "Point-to-Point"

    Having just come off a Ryanair flight from Italy into London yesterday, I think it is fair to say that I can give the most up-to-date detailed opinions of the Ryanair service, as well as the latest information. Yesterday or any other occasions (flown 30 times with Ryanair), I have never had a problem so I am surprised by all the negative reviews but can understand that a flight could turn into a disastrous nightmare ‘if’ things go wrong. Negatives aside, Ryanair have changed the way we travel from A to B. We no longer have to suffer from BA and other high-cost carriers as Irish Ryanair has ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, punctual, many european desintations

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Crew attitude

    It's difficult to do a review when actual people are involved, especially when your views are very negative. Usually, here on Ciao!, we're reviewing - or chatting about - inanimate objects that might not take it personally if we slag them off, but when it comes to reviewing an airline and talking about the attitude of their crew, you can hurt people's feelings; but here goes nothing. When it comes to flying, I've had the good fortune to travel round the planet on both major airlines and budget carriers. On both business and leisure journeys, I've enjoyed the imperious first class cabins of ... more

    4 Stars Does the job, but at what cost...? 10/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap as chips

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You know it's cheap!

    THIS IS THE SAME REVIEW AS BEFORE - JUST SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM IF YOU WISH TO SEE HOW THINGS WERE RESOVLED.... To set things up I must 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 that business ... more

    4 Stars RYAINAIR REVIEW NO. 142 04/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap, cheap, cheap.... can get you to places weird and wonderfull at a fraction of a normal price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages airports choice (especially for big cities); in-flight food and drink; not very helpful when things go wrong (or so it is said)

    I have 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 most about Ryanair. *** General*** www.ryanair.com is THE cheap flights airline, no doubts about it. Nobody else allows you to travel paying ... more

    Advantages Advantages Bargain flights for young mobile people with no luggage

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Watch-out for terms and conditions on all deals

    RYANAIR ------- *General Information in a nutshell* ----------- ----------- ---------------- Founded in 1985 Named after the co-founder Christy Ryan Fleet size 200 - 115 Locations Headquarters Dublin Ireland Finance - 252 Million Euros ----------- ----------- ---------------- First time I've been in a big bird and loved it!!! There comes a time when even the most skeptical hard-line writer actually feels sadness for the airlines that have to take this 2p increase of fuel duty on the chin; without sending a poisoned pen letter to the inept Government administration. Like the police they're tied ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, empty seats

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Deceiving booking system. Delays

    So this year I had to do the obligatory holiday. I personally don't really like holidays too much. Holidays are generally to hot countries with horrible food that they dole out in meagre portions. Rude people, smelly, scruffy animals and a general lack of rain. This year I had to go to France to meet friends that I'd almost rather not see anymore but they insisted on me coming. (How do you tell people you don't like them? I wish there was a simple formal procedure devoid of any reaction on their part) "So," I thought "if I'm going to have to go in for this £%@* I'm bloody well not going to be ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap flights, efficient, new aircraft

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No communication from staff to their customers, staff not overly friendly.

    As we were fast approaching June and still had no plans for a break-away this year I was getting more and more frustrated that we were halfway through the year and I had still not used any of my holidays until I heard the ping of new email arriving into my inbox, it was the usual airline updates that I get working in flight reservations notifying me to any promotional offers so I decided to take a look as usual I dismissed them all and carried on with my work, nothing overly interesting until a few hours later I received a forward from a colleague advising me that flights were currently ... more
