Ryanair - Comments & Feedback Thread

I have had 6 1p flights from Leeds - Dublin and back.

On Sat & Monday I have 2x £11 returns to Shannon from Manchester.

No bags, no insurance, no priority boarding, Visa Electron.

You have to look for for the "No Taxes" fares and generally fly between Monday afternoon and Thursday morning.

I am getting to Shannon for £1, but its a "rip off" £10 to get back - lol

I've been to Belfast, Rome, Krakow and Berlin with Ryanair and have had no problems with them at all! I love the "Ryanair scrum" - whereby passengers run to the plane in order to get a seat :rotfl:

Even better than that is the way all the British stand up and queue....even before the incoming flight has arrived!

It's very rare that I would buy anything in the airport shops anyway, the only Duty free I have used when ona budget airline was Lanzarote (Canary Islands are classed as duty free)

Ryanair want you to be through the airport quickly and efficiently onto their plane. The spokesman was complaining about airports being like shopping centres these days.

I usually have a 2nd bag but this contains sandwiches etc for eating in the airport and they are all gone by the time i get on the plane.

Thats way under the size they allow just make sure any liquids lip stick etc it under 100ml indivually and that total amount of liquid going through security is under 1 litre and is in a see thru' resealable plastic bag.(Ryanair usually supply these free of charge at the airport.)
Once through security you can buy anything else you need liquid and carry it on plane.But watch on return journey as same principal applies.
I usually have a shoulder bag crossed over my body and a suitcase within their size limits with no trouble.

Have a great weekend!

in my experience the airport staff make you put handbags etc inside your "one piece of hand luggage" so I would allow for having to squeeze it in before being allowed through security

At least I now have an excuse to stop the OH shopping at Monsoon in Stansted on the way out of the country.

Ryanair have recently announced that they are strictly adhering to the single bag rule.

A handbag counts as one bag, so you will need to have room to put it inside any other bag you are carrying.

I understand that this also applies to anything bought airside.

Just wanted to say, about 5 mins before reading this I discovered that I had an email in my Junk mail from Ryanair telling me that my return flight had been put back until 22.40. Now having once returned back to the UK at midnight with my son (3.5) I never ever want a repeat of that!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Luckily though, flying London to South of France, there are numerous other options (LGW, STN, Luton, Nimes, Marseille, Montpellier) so have requested a refund of the original tickets and booked new tickets LGW to MRS instead of STN to MRS and they are £30 cheaper!!

WARNING - if you have a flight booked with Ryanair, make sure that you check your junkmail and booking on the Ryanair website in case this happens more often. I am aware that airlines will be cutting out unne3cessary flights as they want full planes.... you would think that the plane back from the south of france in the second wk of the school holidays would be full anyway???

Think we've had our first pointless (and inaccurate) rant.

At least he didn't say it was a rip off.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: the thread asked for our opinions & that is what I gave. It was an accurate account of our dealings with them.

When this card is used on the Ryanair site do you enter it under visa electron. I tried this and it said account number was not acknowledged?
