Eeryones airline they love to hate but still use anyway.

If you know how to milk their system you can get cheap flights. It's getting harder though with charges coming in for online check-in aswell as airport check-in, and airport check-in ceasing to exist at some airports.

Personally i've just read those and think they're a load of crap. It looks more like a bored reporter who is struggling to make a story out of nothing.

For example you can get flights for 1p, it just means paying using an electron card.

If it wasn't for the fact i'm getting ready for work i'd work through all 20 of those stupid bullet points and show exactly how stupid they are.

Simple matter of the fact is if you dont like ryanair fly with BA and pay for the privelege of arriving late and having a 'free' curled up cheese sandwich.

Not correct blue. There will be an online check-in charge of £5 per sector from 1 May:

The Journos are missing the fact that promotional fares will include online check-in.

I can put up with most things But dont like the way they cancel whole routes because of poor takeup
If I ever get left in the lurch I would NEVER use them again
I realise times are hard but if they put up flights they should honour them take a hit then reduce/remove that route altogether

So,if you book a 1p flight and only have hand luggage,that is still all you have to pay?
I thought that was now the law?

If it is a promotional fare and you have an electron card.

O'leary has £325m in the bank of his own personal wealth in the bank, he runs the most successful airline in Europe has made travel by cheap means available to the masses and still gets slated .

I have flown on Ryanair 30+ times and maybe a lucky one, hand luggage,Electron card,never paid over £80.00 return for a flight and get to fly from a local airport to my house in the UK to within 30 minutes of my apartment in Spain.

O leary would make a great Government minister :beer:
