    On a flight from Prague to Manchester a few years ago, the first landing was aborted at the very last minute. The pilot explained that there was an obstacle on the runway. We circled a couple of times and tried again. Once more, landing aborted at a late stage. When the pilot announced a small fire on board, people were getting very worked up. Third time was the charm and we landed without further incident but it was a very memorable experience!

    I flew by RyanAir this time. Can't remember who it was last time. I was unsure as all I'd ever heard connected to the name was negativity (& then you go & post that which just further strengthens what I'd heard).

    To be fair the flight was fine. They seemed to take their time getting us moving to come home but aside from that & entertaining that woman for 20-30mins, I've really no gripe about them (and trust me, I can gripe!).
