Ryanair - RYR

I have flown with Ryanair a few times and i must say i have not had a good experiance, The first time i flew with Ryanair was in January to Italy but we were delayed for 8 hours YES 8 HOURS, The reason for this was one of the light in the asle was not woking properly. They made us sit in the aircraft with the doors closed and it was hot as anything. We asked if we can have some water and we we told they are not allowed to open the bar on the ground ...
...was told my mates that Ryanair had improved and i then rebooked in march to Spain. Now i though it would be a better luck this time, well NO it was even more worse. We were delayed due to the aircrat haveing a technical fault and then they advised the aircraft has been fixed and asked all the passengers to proceed to the boarding gate, (now this gets better) When we got to the the boarding gate we were then told that the aircraft is out of service ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

RyanAir is funky and friendly. It was my first flight last year i was more than happy for it to be with Ryanair. The flight attendants were happy and helpful and inside the plane was comfortable.Everyone felt at ease especially as the Pilot talked to us throughout the flight and kept us up to date with the information of where we were, how much further we needed to go ,and, also local informatio I booked online which was fast and informative with ...
...get to see how different dates effect the price of you're flight as they can easily be altered. Also, the web page supplies the latest information, especially where cheap tickets and deals are concerned. No tickets were sent to keep prices as low as possible and as i travelled from Cardiff airport it was a breath of fresh air to see that a good on time service was provided from such a small airport. ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

...We use companies like Ryanair for one reason - we get cheap travel. But don't expect any frills. Don't expect to be allocated a seat. Do be prepared for the scramble for seats. Do be prepared to pay for a sandwich and a drink. For the money you pay and the ease of booking, this is a great way to visit places. I would not be able to last for more than 3 hours on a cramped flight like this. ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

I used to travel with Ryanair eight or nine times a year (I travel for a living as a journalist), usually to Italy. They were until recently the only airline to fly to Sardinia from the UK, although Easyjet has started flights there, and Thomson flies there seasonally. == WHY I DON'T FLY RYANAIR ANYMORE == For the past 18 months I have managed to completely avoid flying Ryanair despite a packed travel schedule throughout Europe. Why? Lots of reasons, ...
...door. Of the charges that Ryanair levies on top of the headline fare, only £10 is government tax. The rest is really part of the fare. As an example, I have just booked a return flight from Birmingham to Dublin in August. Both Ryanair and Aer Lingus have flights at about the same time. Aer Lingus was about £5 more expensive (they would have been cheaper if I had been flexible with my timings) and for that I get assigned seating and online check ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

If it works, Ryanair is cheap, friendly and very good value for money. I managed to search around the net, and did not find a price cheaper than Ryanair to Pisa when visiting my sister. The Ryanair internet site is very easy to navigate and I found a flight for only £20 each way (yes, that's including taxes). It makes the world a far more accessible place! But when things go wrong, you realise exactly what you are paying for - poor customer service, ...
...poorer. I wrote to RyanAir demanding compensation for their faults. They simply sent me a cheque for £14.50 and told me it was not their fault. So, yes. If it works it really works. But if it doesn't, make sure you've got a lot more cash in your pocket than you first thought you needed! ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

...have only been jetsetting with Ryanair since March 2001 and for the prices charged I feel the service is truly excellent even if there is a delay from time to time. I've been lucky, only two delays and the time was made up in-flight on one of them. The crew are very helpful but I don't think I have ever understood the 'Welcome Aboard' speil at any one time - only the Irish could speak so quickly! The trolley bears a small selection of wares to consume ...
...your choice - and if Ryanair are going to fly me to Biarritz for 49p then I'm certainly not going to complain at any minor detail onboard or any inconvenience suffered - unlike those who appeared on Watchdog last week! Okay, the fare is never always going to be 49p but Ryanair do have some terrific deals always on offer and we were just a tad unlucky to have missed the New Year deal of a FREE flight to Bilbao or only £9.50 to Biarritz! The only ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

Ryanair have made crossing the Channel a lot more comfortable than their rivals Brittany Ferries. I would certainly see the advantage of a 35 minute flight as opposed to 6 hours on a swirling sea, and when I booked with them, I found this very simple. I typed into Google "Ryanair.com", and their site was easy to follow and my booking was made with their secure server online. Tickets arrived shortly afterwards, and I would say that their service ...
...you are in the UK, Ryanair decide to change your flight back !!! simply because they do not have enough demand for that particular flight. Not my problem I would have said, but their attitude stinks. Their answer to your dilemma of having to take paid accommodation for the night is "Take it or leave it". Yes, their staff are helpful. Yes, their flights are very good, but their organisation is flawed in that they regularly change your flight at a ...

...friend. I have heard about Ryanair and I have decided to travel with it for my first come back in France, and now I always fly with this company. HOW TO BOOK YOUR TICKET? ************************ => You can book your ticket from home by using the website www.ryanair.com, there are different languages and pay with your credit card. You can choose between many different flights, to save money you'd better book your ticket as soon as possible and ...
...cheapest. WHAT ABOUT THE FLIGHT? ********************** => The day of your flight don't forget your e-ticket and go directly to the check in with it. The staff don't assigned seats, each one chosses where he wants to sit. You can buy food and drink on board, the staff offer you different kind of things but the price is really expensive, I think it is better to bring your own food. MY EXPERIENCE ************* => I have no complaints about my ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

...go first.. I found that Ryanair draw your attention to their booking conditions on the website, in fact you have to click the box to say you have read & accept them - so there isn't any excuse for getting things wrong. If you don't like their terms & conditions then don't fly with them. It says on the website that they are limited on the number of people who require help and you have to contact them. So you should really read the conditions before ...
...can only say what it's like there. We've been to Dublin & Pisa. Dublin airport was only a short bus ride into town, & Pisa airport is only a mile out of town a 1 euro 60 bus ride for two people to get in to Pisa centre. We were delayed 4 hours the first time to Dublin, but these things happen - they had a problem with the plane . Bur the other three flights were fine. We take our own bottle of water with us on board, and something to munch, but ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

...Ireland so I travel on Ryanair around 10 times a year for the one reason that makes Mr. O'Leary his millions - its so ridiculously cheap!! On my most recent journey (last weekend) from Ireland to the northwest, I used a fare booked only 2 weeks ago and total cost was £20 return! Bare in mind it cost me 12euro to get to the airport from my home, thats not a bad deal. The flight was punctual, even if they did insist on only one check-in desk on a friday ...
...downside, the basic inflight care. Ryanair infamously made a disabled person pay for a wheelchair and have also been known to push the inflight food & gifts, but recently I have seen a change. The refreshments are now clearly listed above each seat, thereby making it clear how much things are and the staff didnt push me to buy. So, if you just need a cheap A-B service with no extra frills there really is no better european airline - they're just ...

...to Dublin from Yorkshire Ryanair is a cheap no frills airline...the service operates like a bus service, the aircraft arrives at a gate, unloads ad then you get on, no prebookable seats, just sit where you want, quick turnarounds at the airport, quick take offs and landings and the fleet is becoming more modern... with Ryanair you get exactly what you pay for,no frills, no food, no drinks..just a seat on an aircraft going to a particular destination ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

I find Ryan Air a great airline to fly with as being a student I don't have much money. The main advantage of Ryan Air is therefore the fact that it is extremely cheap (in fact not including taxes my flight back from Venice was 50p!!!!). This consequently means it's cheaper for me to go to Europe than visit my sister at uni in Leeds! Obviously it's not perfect but you can hardly complain at the prices on offer and as long as you don't expect to ...
...are all short ones anyway!! Criticisms would be; very very slow check in desks, not much leg space and expensive drinks/food once you get on (easily overcome by taking food on board with you though!!) Also the fact that you don't get allocated seats which could be a problem with young children (but also means everyone being seated quicker on the plus side!). The baggage took forever to come through at each end aswell! There also could be problems ...

...Yet I must say that Ryanair are a good company with very few delays and speed the journey up if it takes off to late. On the Hattonus scale this company rates 8/10 mainly due to the politeness and the way the staff do as much as possible to help you. I think the worse part of the whole journey was when my Dad asked me if the engine was 'suppose' to be on fire. The puns never stop do they? Anyway enjoy and good luck. ...
