    This thread started FIVE YEARS ago!

    Anyway, the cheaper Ryanair flights get, the more people want to bash them.

    I agree, if it wasnt for Ryanair we would all still be paying a fortune for flying abroad.

    Yes, their extra charges are irritating, but at least we can see what we are paying for. As opposed to other airlines who are much more expensive and absorb all the charges within their inflated fares.

    How does their pricing model lead to a requirement for passengers to the Irish Republic to have a passport when the Irish authorities and other airlines make no such requirement?

    Take some kind of ID with you, like I said earlier, we got pulled over by the port police and had to show some kind of ID. That was for the ferry.

    It means they can get away with less training for their staff who can therefore be paid less as they don't need to be able to make difficult decisions.

    And speeds up boarding for much the same reasons - therefore lower costs
