Just returned from Italy on a budget trip. It cost £120 including taxes for three people to fly from Prestwick (Ayr, Scotland) to Bergamo (Milan) and back!

Many of the reviews here comment on the price and range of the in-flight food. If you think about it the saving you make on the flight price far outweighs the cost of the pricey drinks and snacks. For example, if I had taken a similar flight with, say, BA it would have cost £400-£500. I think we can forgive Ryanair for trying to claw a little back by charging 1.50 euro for a tiny Pepsi of 5 euro for a sandwich.

For me the biggest drawback was the fact that Prestwick airport is a bit of a dump. The carpet in the check in hall is disgustingly dirty and the fittings are generally tatty. Still, it has a campsite 500m away where you can pitch a tent for around £10 and leave a car for £3 a day, perfect for a budget trip.

Apart from these niggles there is very little difference between BA and Ryanair in terms of service and quality but a great deal of difference in price!

I never have flown Ryanair, since one of their planes was on fire once before my plane on a runway... but I am a very scared flyer.

They are definitely a cheap airline. Lynne x
