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

they all do that

[tim123]

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

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

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.

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.

See Ryanair want you to carry your own bags to the plane now. Doesn't bother me as I wouldn't fly them anyway but I loved this statement over the governments plan to raise APD whereas other countries have reduced it or got rid of it:

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 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.

and they could charge a quid a go

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.

Only flown Gatwick to Dublin once, no issues to report.

I suppose you pays your money and takes your choice.
How much money you pay and how much choice you get is up to you.

Over the years I used Ryanair on mnay occasins to commute from Glasgow Prestwick to

1) Brussels

2) Rome

3) Paris

4) Barcelona

None of my flights were ever cancelled nor delayed (one flight to Brussels was diveretd when a passnger had a heart attack- which is perfectly understandable ) .

I have to cancel on flight due to a bereavement and that was re-imburssed.

On one occasion I was 10 minutes late for the Paris flight - Ryanair staff manged to get me on the plane anyway .

I found them to be excellent value and reliable.

Sometimes there is a price worth paying!

Not for a 35 min flight - and not when I go home so regularly. I don't think I'd ever travel further afield with them though, the yellow on the plane would give me a headache

[MPwannadecentincome]

Me too - only them and aer lingus who do Man - Dublin.

I usually go with whoever is cheapest as I'll normally only be home for a long weekend or whatever. Going in July for a long weekend and we got flights including taxes and online check in for £5! It'll cost me more to get from Manchester city centre to the airport. For £5, I'm not bothered, I'll carry my bag myself!

Fairly regularly as there is no other choice where I am.
I generally do not have problems with them.
