Advantages: Cheap, very helpful staff, friendly, punctual
Disadvantages: None

...return flight to Blackpool on Ryanair from Stanstead. We arrived at Stanstead about 90 minutes before the flight and easily found the right check-in desks. There was no queue and the lady who served us was extremely friendly and helpful. We had no baggage to check in but we were travelling with our 1 year old son and his pushchair for the first time. She said that we were welcome to hang on to the pushchair right up until we boarded the plane where ... Read review

Advantages: low cost, easy to book, online booking, great destination
Disadvantages: awful decor

...and yellow interior, flying with Ryanair can be an unexpected joy. Like many low-cost airlines Ryanair have cut out the frills to give its travellers a range of destinations at prices which won't break the bank. This Springtime my daughter and I took advantage of £10 flights and headed to Italy from Liverpool. The adverts did say that it was Milan we were heading to but in truth we were almost one hour away from Milano and landed at Orio airport, ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap on certain flights, rarely late
Disadvantages: Airports aren't always near city

you get monkeys,well not quite with Ryanair. You can't expect much for the cheap fairs offered. I do the Leeds - Dublin flight quite often for between 50-85. Sometimes it is cheaper but usually around this price. Avoid: Travelling on a Friday or Sunday. V.expensive for obvious reasons. I usually travel Thurs eve - Mon morning. Flying to Frankfurt (hahn). Hahn is an hour away from Frankfurt and invloves a bus journey. I had a problem getting ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent value
Disadvantages: Cheap and cheerful

...of Italy and noticed that Ryanair were flying to Ancona, right in the heart of the area. They had - as they often do - a special promotion, and, after initial problems with their website I was able to book the flight I wanted, on the dates I wanted, at the advertised price (Less than £40 return including taxes). Check in at Stansted was slightly disorganised, but we had allowed a good margin of time, unlike several people who were caught up in the ... Read review

Advantages: cheap and on time
Disadvantages: Stanstead is a long way away from the East Midlands

Ryanair is truly a no frills airline. It gets me from A to B at a very good rate which is all I really want. Beware though to book as early as possible. (And it flies to destinations easyjet and Bmibaby don't cater for (reus and Leipzig for example). Unfortunately most of the popular european destination can only be reached from London Stanstead which is a bit of a minus, we could really do with flights from Birmingham or Nottingham East Midlands. ...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Ryaniar charges so many fees that you don't save any money.

Ryanair is a scam. They start out by selling 99p tickets but then charge for baggage, checkin, and various other fees. Once you buy a ticket then they add even more fees once you check in for excess baggage or any other incidental that they can scam you out of. Ryanair does not issue assigned seating so you are stuck with what you get. They also charge 3 pounds for a cup of coffee once you are on board the plane. You are coralled like cattle through ...

Advantages: Lowcost
Disadvantages: Convenience, Airports they fly to

Dating back to 1985, Ryanair is the original lowcost, domestic European airline. It has expanded massively in the past decade, adding a completely modern fleet of single type aircraft (737-800) and enlarging their route map to a baffling squiggle of connections and hubs (now 132 destinations in Europe and Morocco). Despite all the undeniable promotions and tempting low fares, there is another side to Ryanair one should bare in mind before booking. Seat ... Read review

Advantages: cost, number of routes
Disadvantages: they dont fly enough routes

I have flown Ryanair many many times, and a number of other airlines in the UK and overseas. Ok they may not offer the most fantastic service and pamper your every need. But ont he routes that they fly why would you want anything else? I have read through the opinions on the airline, and whilst I agree with some of them, I find it amazing that people complain about what they dont get from Ryanair. Lets be honest if you pay for a 'cheap' flight ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, good deals
Disadvantages: no tickets

I travel with Ryanair about 3 times a year. They really have great deals. Keep an eye out well before the time you intend to travel so you can get the best deal. Firstly you should try to book as early as possible as the first seats always have the lowest price range. Try and see if a slight variation of dates makes any difference to ticket price. I halfed the price of my ticket by going a day early. Mess around with different date combinations ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, fly to many UK cities
Disadvantages: No flights beyond Europe; expensive in-flight munchies

...and the answer is simple: Ryanair gets a share of money made by people booking rental cars or hotels at their destination. If they meet your requirements, go ahead and book - if not, just take the cheap flights! Of course by paying less there are limitations. Your ticket is non-transferable, non-refundable so you lose out if you can't travel for any reason. The cabins are more cramped than on more expensive airlines and if you buy snacks or drinks ...

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, lots of flights
Disadvantages: Long waiting times, be careful where you are flying to

I have travelled with Ryanair approx 15 times. Prior to this year I had a few problems with long queues to check-in. Lack of staff etc. This year I have found them to be much improved. Thus far I have travelled Stansted-Hamburg. Luton-Dublin and Stansted-Turin (returning from all places). With all 6 of these flights there were none of the delays that I was half expecting. The check-in ran smoothly and quickly and the planes departed more or ... Read review
