    Tiger be very careful with Ryanair - We are going with them to Malta on Friday and after reading horror stories I have checked, double checked & checked again that I have done evrything requierd so that they don't get another penny off us in charges :mad::mad:
    Sure I don't need to tell you to do online check in, print off boarding passes etc in advance. They have NO check in desks now - only baggage drops. One thing that you might not know is that the stingy gits :p do allow another 5 kgs luggage for anyone with a medical problem (they ask what kind of stuff you need to carry and email a waiver letter). Not sure why but mine says 10 kgs ???? but I'm not complaining and will make sure I use it somehow :D Also, be aware that they have to try to flog you as much stuff on board that you pay for - believe its a pain but if you are persistant they get the message. Apparently its something that Mr O'Leary has said they have to do :eek:
    If you have not yet done so you can print your boarding passes 15 days prior to departure. BUT I was nearly caught out as the return ones didn't automatically print and I had to do some searching to find them :(

    btw - they are very strict on sizes/weight etc and will lose no opportunity to levy a charge so be careful and check your measurements :rotfl:Your hand luggage is 10 kg max and your handbag, laptop, camera etc must all go inside it. As for hold baggage - ours are £50 but flights were cheap so can't have it all but in peak its £160 :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    There were rumours about charging £1 to go to the loo but so far I think it was hot air and for publicity lol

    I agree, make sure your luggage is the correct size and weight or you could well be handsomely charged :eek:

    I am one of the few it would seem who like Ryanair - between us OH and I make around 6 - 8 return flights a year with Ryanair and have never had ANY problems (except 1/2 inch of snow at Bristol a few years ago that the airport couldn't cope with, pathetic) :mad:

    I can't say I've noticed a hard sell on board, yes they come round with the drinks, duty free and scratchcards but they are not in your face with it. Toilets are still free :)

    I would say get there in plenty of time, especially if you want to sit together, as it can be a bit of a scrum getting on board. Cabin crew will not be interested in finding you 2 seats together, quite the opposite in fact, they will insist you park your bottoms as soon as possible in any available seat. Remember they are on a very tight turnaround.

    If your carry on luggage is small enough put it under the seat in front of you - the lockers fill up pretty quickly and many times I have seen small bags removed and either given back to passengers to put underneath or moved to another locker, same with coats/jackets.

    If you land on time remember to put your fingers in your ears to avoid the most annoying fanfare they play, does my swede in :D

    Yes, Walkers 20 pack Variety or Meaty both on £2 in M (valid until 8/9).
    Just timed right if it works!

    I needed to check it was the "4x, 4x, 4x..." version. It is. Well..if that's 2 for £5 but then APG £3.50 each (or even £4.69 each (long shot):D), that's very very good.

    Good spot.:T
    So late in the flamin' day again (shops in England closing at 10pm) - but could be excellent if we catch it before msm updates to tomorrow's(??) A pricing. I'm all crisped out from prev.glitches, so I'll give this one a miss myself I think.:cool::D
