    Do you have an interpreter?

    Unfortunately no, however, why not instead get an adult to firstly check your gibberish before you post then I'm sure this won't happen again.:)

    Yes, bloody pests they are paying for something with a debit card and being charged a hefty fee for doing so, amongst so many other things.

    Oh dear.....what have I started :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I mearly wanted to say that after all the bad press that RA get, my experience was good. It was a first trip with RA, just wanted to share that experience. Nothing else intended or meant. Yes I got what I paid for, a trip to the sun. Am I not allowed to say my experience of what I paid for was! I thought that was whole point of this site isn't it?

    I am sure there are lots of people with bad experiences with RA and not disputing that, just sharing mine though. As for comments about staff, I had heard that they were off hand with people, grumpy etc. Just saying that was not my experience.

    If there are pople who do not like what I say, then don't read it and go elsewhere, for those who are flying soon with RA, feel assured that if you follow their rules you'll be fine.

    Happy flying.

    OP, I'm sorry but I just fail to see what you experienced was good.

    Yes, this section is about praise or not, you are correct.

    However, regardless of what you paid, you bought a service.

    Ryan Air provided that service, which is what they should have done anyway by law.

    Why praise that basic thing? I don't get it.

    If I buy a pint in a pub, I expect to get a pint because I bought it. You bought a flight, why is it then good because you received it? Why not a case instead of just being satisfied you have received it?

    Why are you not just satisfied but actually feel good?

    It is only what you expect to receive anyway!

    If you didn't get your flight, that would be bad.

    If you did get your flight then that is fine, it's normal, acceptable.

    If you got your flight but with some extras on top, like free drinks, food etc then that's good.

    Why do you think something that's run of the mill normal deserves praise?:(

    Like I say, SHIPSHAPE, some people are not happy with my comments, if you don't like them and go elsewhere. I just don't see why you are making a big deal out of it.

    On your argument, no one would be allowed to say anything about anything then cos you got what you paid. So what's the point of the praise board? :cool:

    I haven't been on this site for ages and ages cos some people just take it too seriously and make it unpleasant.

    I'll leave it now and see you in a few months when hopefully some people can make better & constructive comments. I'm off.

    Tara. :beer:

    Oh c'mon Dave, no need for that!

    Yes, it is a praise board which is what it should be used for.

    If I bought a flight from Ryan Air and, lo and behold, they flew me to where I wanted to go that I paid for anyaway, then I'd be satisfied with that.

    However, I think to praise them for it is going a bit far.

    If Ryan Air had done something more than provide you with what you paid for anyway then I could understand. But they didn't.

    Just fail to see it.

    Cheers!:beer:

    I'm no fan of Ryan air but it seems SS you have had problems reading Dave's posts and his reason for posting the praise.

    He was just saying that he received a good and adequate service in response to all the bad press. Not sure why you have difficulty with that view or reasoning even if you don't agree. Hope i've made it simple enough for you to understand.

    So the cheap thing a lot cheaper than anyone else could do it isn't good?

    Then you're just a negative cynic as I've previously implyed always looking for the negative.
