      Thank you so much Robert. It would be a much nicer flight experience if they just increased their prices, rather than trying to sting everyone booking Priority out of 90€ and gave such unfriendly customer service.

    Used Ryanair when we went to Italy in June - have to admit it wasn't that bad but we took very small hand luggage as I had heard how OTT they can be! Wouldn't be my airline of choice they seem to keep coming up with ways to extract more money from passengers. Coming to Mallorca next month with Jet 2 which might be a bit better we will see. Informative video as usual👍

    Alex we have used Ryanair 4 times this year because they are the only ones that fly from Prestwick which is only 10 minutes away.I can honestly say never any problem’s and only one short delay at Barcelona which was caused by the incoming aircraft from France,as the plane had to be changed due to the incoming plane going back to Prestwick for scheduled maintenance.Our schools have been back for 3 weeks so availability less now in Scotland but some good prices about if you can travel anytime

    So basically follow the T&C’s and you’ll have no issues. They serve a purpose for cheap air travel. If you want to bring luggage, then there are other options which may work out cheaper, but that’s the choice you have. Quite simple really bring a bag that’s the size they’ve stated you can bring.

As a little protest we purchased nothing on board, 2 couples, normally 2 wine each, toasty each, and the same coming back plus 400 cigarettes on the return trip, it did make me feel better lol. We book a lot of holidays with Love holidays and you get an option to fly with different airlines, we always change if it comes up with Ryanair, plus when you check in on line you'll find you have the basic fare,no 10kg no seat no priority so another £100 per couple

    I fly fairly regularly between UK & Spain usually with Vueling but sometimes with Ryanair. Vueling have been very good up to now anyway but Ryanair are well known for checking hand luggage sizes and anyone who travels via Malaga airport will have seen the Ryanair bag size “frames” that are always used at the boarding gates. They seem to be the only airline that does this and are always looking to make extra money on flights wherever they can. You may remember when O’Leary threatened to charge for using the toilets during the flight & im sure he would have standing room only if he thought he could get away with it!

    Totally ridiculous thing to say about the 1mm luggage safety.
    I would of probably questioned the person that came out with that statement and then withdrawn myself from flying with them on that particular day and in the future. It sounds drastic I know, but being dictated to in that manner...I simply wouldn't put up with it.
    I always endeavour to fly with EasyJet where possible and would probably postpone my trip if they weren't available.

      @@MallorcaUnderTheSun It leaves a bad taste in the mouth when Airline representatives start being silly , but I understand your point about affordability and would of thought twice about it myself. Obviously the majority of winter flights are cheaper, so it can be a different ball game then.
