Ryanair trying again to buy Aer Lingus

Can never see why folk get so uptight over Ryanair. They're cheap, and they offer a cheap service (yes there are extras involved, but they still undercut most airlines). Good for them. If it doesn't suit you, don't travel with them. Seems fairly simple to me..

(must remember to get a Visa Electron card though)

Yes and their advertising of it is very clear, transparent, open and never hides material details that may negatively affect your journey, if only all the companies were like them...

I like the way you get to see more of the world with Ryanair. There's a whole bunch of airports in Europe I never knew existed!

And it's a funny coincidence that the destination name of those places happen to be the same as well known airports?

Apparently all smokescreen from Ryanair. They may be taken over themselves.

I can see the budget airlines doing badly in the recession. If you take a number of holidays a year, with a few weekend trips to Europe on top, you don't mind flying on a glorified bus to make it all viable. When you have to make do with only one holiday trip a year you're going to want to make it a bit special. You're going to fly with a proper airline.

Ryanair is the only airline I have travelled with where the cabin crew thought it was ok to giggle like school girls throughout the safety demonstration, also Michael O'Leary comes across as a right ****.

I hope it doesn't happen! I fly home regularly sometimes with Ryanair sometimes with Aer Lingus. I prefer Aer Lingus, it's a bit more civilised and less of a bunfight!

But then when Ryanair are offering flights for £5, who am I to question Michael O'Learys logic?

Egotistical ****

This should go ahead, with a new company Ry-y-Lingus. Just hope to heck that Cunard don't take them over
