Ryanair website actually easy to use

I must say, I have just booked a couple of flights via the new Ryanair website and it seems as though they have done away with some needless stuff.
No longer have to do the CAPTCHA to get quotes. No longer have to tick box to "I have read and understand your terms".
I am a US citizen and always in the past been informed after putting in my passport details that I need to go to the desk first to get my ticket stamped, that seems to have gone. In fact you no longer have to put passport details in at all.
Still annoyed at how they hide the "Don't insure me" bit, but on the whole it was an easy experience. And it only cost me £100 more than the headline price :rotfl:;)

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

MY GOD ! a Positive Ryanair thread !
You should still have to put your passport details in via the APD area for online check in, if you are flying into Europe, I believe.
But thanks you, at least something positive to say for a change.0 -

I agree.
But the lack of positive Ryanair threads doesn't constitute disenchantment with the airline.
Far from it.
With 82.5 million journeys every year and only the occasional gripe that means there are just short of 82.5 million successful journeys where the passengers haven't felt the need to whine.
Not a bad chorus of approval for FR.
And their balance sheet.

Flew Stansted to Murcia this morning, only 75% full! real bonus for those that like a little more space.
Even with allocated seats plenty of dipsy people moaning and groaning.
Web site is a bit more user friendly without doubt."Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain."

Ryanair are a nasty bunch, definitely one to avoid in my experience.
Their whole business model is based upon scamming unsuspecting holidaymakers with add ons and surcharges. And what a lout their boss is -he really doesn't give a toss what anyone thinks.0 -

You will need to provide passport details when you check in on line.0 -

It would help to qualify your statement with what your experience of Ryanair is

I suspect the following translation will be appropriate:
scamming = asking passengers that they adhere to the terms and conditions of their ticket.
unsuspecting holidaymakers = passengers who think the rules are for everyone else and that can't be bothered spending 2 minutes familiarizing themselves with when to be at the gate, what luggage they can and cannot bring, and how the check-in process works.0 -
Yes I know that, as with any airline when you do OLCI, but you used to have to put it in when booking, just a nice change when there are a few less stepsYou will need to provide passport details when you check in on line.The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.

A thumbs up from me for the more user friendly website. Flew with them recently, and no problems as usual, in fact got to my destination ahead if schedule.0

Surely if that was true, then they would go bust inside a year - if they were that bad, people would only ever fly with them once. I haven't had a bad experience with them yet, personally0
