    Yes. When I lived in the country near Paris, Ryanair Beavais-Prestwick was a much better way of getting back to Scotland than schlep-to-CDG, fly to London, change at Heathrow, fly to Glasgow. In those days Beauvais didn't have such a high opinion of itself, and you could just park your car outside the terminal for the weekend. Then they made you park in a field. Then they made you park in a field and pay 22€ per day to do it. Enough.
    I am sure they nearly killed us all on the Beavais-Prestwick route, when the plane landed in France it bounced really quite high then when it landed again skidded to one side, the pilot over steered and we skidded the other way, so much that people were getting thrown about and screaming.

      If they could just put an inflatable punch bag with Michael O'Leary's face on it in the back of every seat, that would be a winner.

      Relieves passenger stress and could be used as auxiliary power.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        and they could charge a quid a go
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

          Is it your analysis that others are getting rid of it or are you believing Molly's spin.

          It's my experience that more countries are introducing it

            If it's anything like the other small airports that Molly flies to the parking fees is about all that they get. They certainly don't get paid any money by Ryanair.

              flown with RA many times, plenty of delays, but none more so than any other airline

              and if you believe RA they have the best record for ontime landings in Europe (I thinK) - though people have said to me this is because they over estimate the landing time to allow for delays

                I think it's more because they fly to/from micky mouse airfields that never add in a delay outside of their control
