I am trying to find out the cheapest flights from Liverpool to Tenerife on the budget airline flight checker. Unfortunately Tenerife isn't listed on the destination list from Liverpool. Can anyone help?

Sorry guys, but if tomorrow was the end of the world, and the last flight off the planet was free with Ryanair . . .

I still wouldn't take it.

Analyst - Are Ryanair really that bad? I've never used them before.

I tried to find words to sum up Michael O'Leary CEO of Ryanair but found the dictionary of swearing is too limited.

However others have tried:
from Wikipedia:

O'Leary has a somewhat fiery reputation among both his competitors in the airline industry and regulators. He has often been described as arrogant [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] and has on numerous occasions stooped to gratuitous rudeness and foul language in his public statements [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] His no-nonsense management style, extreme cost-cutting and meanness towards staff [15], provocative advertising [12], and his deliberate targeting and scathing criticisms of competitors, airport authorities, governments, and unions have become a hallmark. He has been reported to have been abusive and prone to outbursts when dealing with staff and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern [19] . Recently he was forced to retract a claim that Ryanair had cut emissions of carbon dioxide by half over the past five years [20]. O'Leary has been reported to have impersonated a journalist in an attempt to find out what information an airport authority had passed on to a newspaper following a safety incident on a Ryanair flight [21]

Registration of private car as taxi

In 2004 he purchased a hackney plate for his Mercedes-Benz to enable it to be classified as a taxi so that he could legally make use of Dublin's bus lanes to speed his car journeys around the city [22]. A press report suggested that he was stopped driving his own taxi. In 2005 the transport minister of the Republic of Ireland expressed concern at this abuse by O'Leary and others.[23] [24]

He has proved offensive to disabled people, actually charging them for being disabled -forced to retract

His Flight Crews have to buy their own uniforms

He has lied and cheated people with misleading advertising which doesn't show the true cost of flying Ryanair or true journey time comparisons.

the list goes on and on

I see Ryanair are offering £5 flights from Stansted to Poitiers if I travel between the 5th November and 12th March. Very generous since flights to Poitiers are stopped from the end of October until the middle of March.

Thought it was too good to be true.

is that your own anti ryanair site analyst, i gave it a quick scan to see the horrors that ryanair inflicted on you

its all a bit vauge and confusing , why didnt you have your reservation info with you like millions of other ryanair passengers manage to do every year

the second trip was screwed up without any explanantion at all

the third trip was cancelled because of fog,

im left thinking why would anyone go to the effort of putting that website together on the strength of a few trips with ryanair and a few moans and groans

and then i read further and got to the DAVE OPINION page, what a great read, opinons on this and that, all sorts of nonsense infact

nutters dont you just love em

The sale has now been extended until midnight on Monday.

For anyone that's interested, I hope you find what you want.
