  • Personally I would not take chances, Ryanair is probably the opportunity to try out 10kg or less Air Travel or even luggage free; but I would question as to why we should be thinking like this in the first place.:mad:

    Because we can fly around Europe for well under £20 with Ryanair
  • Just because it is possible to fly round Europe at £20 don't mean Ryanair should take the p****.

    Do you have one * too many there?

    Don't see that having rules that customers are told about endless times is taking the P*ss, people trying to take over sized cabin bags in spite of the rules are the ones taking the P*ss trying to get something they have not payed for.

    If the size was doubled people would still try to take even bigger bags.

    I'm curious - in what way exactly are Ryanair taking the p***?

    Its odd that Ryanair havent realised the futileness of their high cost checked in baggage and no assigned seating policy. Every flight has ten or twenty people standing in aisles for fifteen minutes or so, waiting for stewardess to move bags around the cabin, or waiting for stewardess to release the "premium" seats or persuade people to take middle seats.......they could squeeze in another flight in that wasted hour or two each day.

    I think it does take a minimum time to turn a jet plane around and restart the engines, so what's happening in cattle doesn't matter as long as they are ready when the driver is.

    I know I've had to wait for (jet) helicopters before they could restart, that's one reason you often see them on the ground with the engine(s) running.

    Pre-assigned seating slows down boarding, that's why they don't use it in the first place. Lack of overhead locker space is a common problem with every airline if the plane is close to full, also airlines that allow free checked bags. It's annoying but I've yet to see a flight be delayed because of it (that's not to say it hasn't happened of course). I've never seen anyone needed to be persuaded to take middle seats, on Ryanair or any other airline. The closest I've experienced was a family that refused to be split up, despite the fact they were the very last to board. In the end, other passengers moved around for them.
