Only been on one Ryanair flight, long time ago. Leeds to Dublin.
There was some kind of rubber seal towards the front of the engine nacelle that was flapping about in the wind. Told the stewardess and she scuttled off to report it to the pilot.
The return leg to Leeds was the last time I flew with them.
Amazingly they have never had a crash, just heavy landings.There was some kind of rubber seal towards the front of the engine nacelle that was flapping about in the wind. Told the stewardess and she scuttled off to report it to the pilot.

Given the price that Ryan air charges for in flight food, is that not the chav version of Caviar and champagne?.
Either way, I'll never fly them, ever unless there's no alternative. Road trip included.
€11 for a hot roll, tub of Pringles and a drink, €12 if you want a ready meal instead (and their lasagne is actually pretty good IMX) EasyJet want £9 for basically the same thing. Given their reliance on in-flight revenue, they’re never going to make the food ridiculously expensive Either way, I'll never fly them, ever unless there's no alternative. Road trip included.

Never had a problem with Ryanair. They've all left and landed more or less on time on time, run a modern fleet, use my local airport as it's main UK base so fly's to loads of destinations and the pricing ain't bad.
Moronic passengers could just as well been on another carrier and not restricted to Ryanair.

s off your boss when you put your expenses in, when he thought Ryan Air was the best way of going to Italy on a business trip.....See also parking as close to the terminal as possible, at more than a taxi would cost, and buying 2 power adaptors in the airport so you can run your laptop and charge your phone. valiant said:
Why do people have to eat on short flights and then complain about the price? Just take a few bits with you or accept that you won't starve on a 2-3 hour flight.

I'm Australian so 5 hours is a short flight to me, I could easily fly between Perth and Singapore without eating as you can eat at the airport. It's nice to get a meal though. Water and drinks are the major issue, cabin humidity is so low just breathing is dehydrating you, however for budget airlines this just means buying an overpriced bottle of water or 3 airside. Water bottle refilling stations should be mandatory at airports. Never had a problem with Ryanair.

I disagree that you get the same morons on any airline. They tend to flock to budget airlines. The combination of a cheap initial price and garish interiors seems to be catnip to morons and entitled idiots. Especially considering the extra costs that you end up paying (although so-called premium airlines are dropping to similar levels of crappiness).
That being said, Ryanair is not the worst airline for customer behaviour. That dubious award goes to Spirit in the US, I've watched some Spirit boarding lines that make your Ryanair hens party look like the epitome of class.

You only need to look at the destination to understand the type that would be on that flight.
I was in Tenerife over Dec/Jan but stayed in the very Spanish north. Friendly people but you had to speak Spanish. Had an amazing time. A few times I drove back to the airport to drop off or pick up visiting family and each time it was horrible to see the drunk Brits pouring off the Jet2, RyanAirs etc
Made me ashamed.
I did drop into Costa Adeje for an hour just to make me appreciate where I was staying on the other side of the volcano.
It was hell and latest thing, since I was last there in 2019, were drunk Brits racing around on hired motility scooters.
Drink and eating out is a lot cheaper in the North too
