    Use them regularly. Never any problems. They are effiecent and practically always on time.

    The trick is to only take hand lugguage if at all Possible. I have got my packing down to a fine art now and can pack a weeks worth in to my case.
    You can also take a handbag as well which makes life a lot easier..
  • Of course it's worth it. More legroom, better on time record, less money. What more could you want?

    Just double check the times and dates before you confirm the sale...
    ...and continue to do so in the lead up to online check in.

    I've recently noticed* Ryanair have brought my flight times forward by 7 hours for a flight in June this year on a booking that was made around 3 months ago. Suits me fine (means a full first day and no hanging around on the last day), but others may be inconvenienced by such a move...especially on a 'scheduled' service.



    * They haven't emailed me about this either...I just happened to be browsing my itinerary!

    I've never had a problem with Ryanair, if you use the website correctly and understand their charges it's fine. I've had lots of cheap fares back in the day when it was £2 to Dublin return, no tax. The most I've ever paid for a flight was £40. I've always had apart from one flight, the emergency exit rows, once getting on board just ask the crew to sit there. Not sure if they charge for this service now.

    Seats are allocated before boarding and you can only get an emergency exit row seat if you pay £15/£10.

    If no passengers have booked emergency exit row seats crew ask people to occupy them.
