panorama to support thick people no doubt re ryanair

[loltolhurst]

here we go again a doc tonight on ryanair that no doubt will be shocked at the extra charges that thick people incure

its v simple u tts read the screen when booking your ticket.

personally im going to barcelona return next month for £20 - as long as they dont cut safety hurrah for ryanair.

But they charge £5 for using a credit card FOR EACH PERSON ON ONE BOOKING.
- Yes you tt, read the screen.

But they charge £40 to print out your boarding pass at the airport.
- Yes you tt, read the screen.

But they charge £15 per kilo for baggage while that fat person's ticket cost the same as mine and I took a huge dump just to help with the weight.
- Yes you tt, read the screen.

They compromise safety, Dispatches on Channel 4 proved it.
- No they didn't.

My flight was delayed/cancelled.
- Do you think they do that deliberately? Do you think they WANT to pay their staff extra for hanging round the airport? Do you think the weather/air traffic is in their control?


What I really love about Ryanair is how ANY article on the Guardian Online creates huge abuse against the airline in the comments, YET without fail Ryanair will advertise on the front page of the Observer EVERY SUNDAY.

Which just proves that the whinging champagne socialists will ball-ache on about how terrible Ryanair is but at the same time they are clearly Ryanair's best customers.

"God I hate Ryanair, whinge, whinge, whinge..."
"Do you use them?"
"Yes, all the time."

Stansted to Denmark for a couple of days. £2 return, just taking hand luggage full of clothes. I can't wait!

Ryanair is excellent when you just want to ferry yourself from A - B.

Couldn't care less about idiots who don't read their T&Cs, but O'Leary is an unsufferable .

Completely agree. I don't see what the problem is. You know what you get with Ryanair - it's a cheap and cheerful service. If I want to book my seats, get free drinks, or take 6 months worth of clothes with me I'll book a flight with someone else. If I want to book the cheapest flight possible and carry everything I need with me with no frills I'll book Ryanair.

As far as I'm concerned, if it reduces the cost to me - charge for toilets, charge fatties for 2 seats, remove seats and let me stand for the flight - it's ony 90 mins, I'm not bothered.

All the people moaning obviously can't read and don't understand how to play the game. Although, I do suspect they are subsidising the cheap flights for the rest of us.

Never had a problem with Ryanair, it's public transport and cheaper than the train.

£40 return to Gothenburg at rush hour.... that'll do nicely.

[hairykrishna]

I like them. They're cheap and most of the crap they've trimmed off is not missed by me. Who really needs nasty airline food/coffee on a short flight anyway? Printing your own boarding card is no great hardship either.

I do always invest the extra 6 quid for priority boarding though - it practically guarantees and exit row seat with reasonable leg room.

Ryanair seem to be coming out of this rather well, certainly far better than the twunt who's presenting it.

Ryanair are great. Keeps all the chavs in one place away from the decent airlines.

[Soir]

why would the reporter not allow an unedited interview to take place?

fair play to leary for suggesting it

[Spiritual_Beggar]

Can't believe that kid was flying to EIRE for around 2p!!!!!!

Stupid thing to say, I have used Ryaniar plenty of times and it is usually business men commuting.

Wanting a good deal and attempting to save the company money makes people CHAV's does it?
