Why Flying Ryanair Is Worth It🤩

- Here’s why I choose to fly @ryanair🫣
People love to hate on Ryanair but honestly how can you complain about a €10 or €20 ticket? Even if they’re more expensive, let’s say €100, odds are their competitors will be at least 2 to 3 times more. There’s no way I am paying that much more for a free bottle of water and the ability to say I don’t fly Ryanair😂🤦♂️ In most cases, I can add an extra legroom seat, a meal, airport priority, and still pay less than I would to fly their full-service competitors.
As someone who grew up in a secondary city, I am also really grateful for Ryanair because they opened up a ton of routes that wouldn’t have been operated by any other airlines. They, more than any other European airline, contribute to connecting this part of the world🇪🇺
If you are one of those people who refuses to fly Ryanair (but not just because of pride), I’d love to hear why in the comments🤓

Nonstop Dan, the only travel UA-camr that will fly Ryanair before, in between, and after first-class flights. Respect.
True
Yeah until they cancel the flights on him last minute with no alternative and no refund
@@StoutProper i am pretty sure its illegal
Yet hate copa airlines saying its shit by flying in a next to be overhauled plane
@@lordvader3697no its not
I fly them occasionally and the experience has improved since they ceased harassing customers in-flight with scratch cards and vodka bags etc. The biggest downside is the absence of a jetway in wet weather, combined with their habit of “boarding” passengers into stairwells or outdoor holding pens just to clear the gate.
They still do that in my experience, but I don't mind it. The more shit they sell to the passengers, the less the ticket costs...
This is it... Feeling like cattle. I usually fly Ryanair to be fair. But since I started flying other airlines for work, the lower stress of having a jetbridge, and the extra CALM of the whole experience is ridiculous 😂
@@sarahniriain7858 on behalf of an airport worker servicing mostly Ryanair... Please take easyJet! It's easier on both you and us.
Yeah I flew with them literally yesterday and they still do that lol
EasyJet is doing the same
When a Ryanair flight goes to plan, all is good.
But when it goes wrong, it goes spectacularly wrong. That's what has given them a bad image.
never goes wrong buddy
@@beastyfast302 Oh yes it does
no crashes hmmmm@@CityWhisperer
@@beastyfast302 not talking about crashes lmao, but about delays and specially cancellations.
@@CityWhisperer Alright true, but there are two positives. 1) 25 minute turn around times. 2) Other airlines (from my experiences of more than 100 flights) cancel their flights more often.
They’re fine until something goes wrong and then they’re impossible to get hold of. Notably when they sent my luggage to Spain instead of Belgium 🙈
lol
did you get it back
lol that's your departure airport not the airline
lol Ryanair flies to Belgium and Spain
True 😅🗿
Consider them as buses, you don’t expect a meal on a bus.
This is my exact thought process!! People are too used to thinking that flying should be a 5* experience despite the fact they’d never book a 5* national express coach or a 5* train ticket
You don’t expect a bus to fly do you?

Ryanair is a blessing for someone like me, a student with a low budget. Weekend in spain? Sure. Holiday on Malta? Let’s go. Trip to Greece? No problem.
It's amazing 2 day trip to Barcelona all together can be managed for just over 100 quid 💀
Trip to Greece is alr 2.000 euros itself ... Where do u stay ? Under a bridge or what

@@lavh4406 then are you even talking about Ryan air 💀 I just checked and with Ryan air from UK or Ireland it's under 200 quid for a return
I love Ryanair ❤️ I'm old enough to remember unaffordable plane travel...they opened so many doors.
I think it boils down to the fact that people don’t like the feeling of being nickel and dimed, even if the overall cost is less.
You get what you paid for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well uou want to lowest price possible you start with the lowest available option and work up from there. Its a simple concept if people are too dull to work that one out then go waste money with a full cost carrier to get to the exact same place for more
I get that. I believe Frontier and Allegiant are the same way
@cheeseontoastbrah Yeah, but the current fairs even without the extras are arriving close to other airlines, where those extras are included.
@@cheeseontoastbrah
For a very tall person every extra inch of seat pitch is heaven. Ryanair has one of the lowest out there. Some of Ryanait F/As dont allow you to stretch out your legs on the aisle seats during the flight.
The beauty of LCC like Ryanair is it allows people to visit different parts of Europe for less. You can literally book a flight a few hours prior in London and then voila you are in Vilnius the next morning.
yeah and then you go to Sicily and the airport shuts down due to the wildfires, full service airlines still make those flights to different airports nearby and transport you to the destination airport
Ryanair just cancels even if you're already there so you can't fly back with them
was just in vilnius this april,Vilnius is an amazing place to visit and i honestly recommend
I could search on Google but where on earth is Vilnius?
@@subhashishdey4010 lt is in lithuania and lithuania is in europe

Because of the way they treat their employees and the customer service.
My issue with Ryanair is their numerous attempts to discriminate against passengers with disabilities, e.g., wanting to charge extra for wheelchairs and numerous others that were, thankfully not implemented. My attitude is that they obviously don’t want passengers like me so I’m not giving them my money. I would genuinely rather spend 24 hours on buses than fly with them.
They're quite rutheless unfortunately. They don't care what it is, but as soon as it costs money, they'll do anything and everything to avoid it.
People hating on Ryanair is just like people hating on Mcdonalds just because it's unhealthy; you know what you're paying for and they deliver nothing else
Exactly ppl wanna pay cheap and expect to get high quality
I still wouldn’t get McDonald’s 😕
@@DEV_MANOS there’s always a demand for something cheap and that’s not you, you want quality
@@DEV_MANOS McDonald’s is fine tasting fast food, if you want gourmet go somewhere else
McDonald's have really good salads.
It's the faraway airports, and the fact that you have a "final boarding" call 45 minutes before departure and you end up standing in the hall/crammed into a small room for half an hour before boarding... Once in the air (and as long as you follow the baggage rules) there is no real drawback over the legacy carriers...
Well you could walk
Seat pitch and recline are big deals if sitting in coach.
@@DevRel1Hahahaha
They make damn sure that they can board and leave within like 30 minutes after arriving at the gate and avoid any delays, because that costs money. In my experience you usually have to sit and wait in an enclosed gate while waiting and there's usually enough seats, it's still a bit tedious but you get what you pay for. On the plus side you can often get priority boarding for very cheap!
Ryanair is NOT half price of other airlines, unless you buy your ticket three months in advance.
Most of the time it’s the same price or just slightly lower than other airlines.
After you pay for your ticket they will try to extract more money from you in every imaginable way they can.
No one buys plane tickets a week in advance
Personally, I’ve always needed some form of extra baggage and that quickly stacks up per person and per way to amount to similar to other airlines. Maybe it’s because I’m not looking for a cheap flight to anywhere as I choose my destination/holiday first but I personally don’t think it’s actually that cheap once you add bags
So don't add bags?!?
@@minifishy7162 “I’ve always needed some form of extra baggage”…….
Ryanair is fine, if the airports suit and you need no frills. When you do add on priority etc to take a cabin bag, sometimes it can be cheaper to just fly BA. I was a frequent flyer from London to Dublin for 4 years. I can't speak for other routes but that's my experience.
As an immigration agent in Dublin once told me recently, "if everything is running smoothly, Ryanair is grand. If ANYTHING goes wrong... good luck."
This summarizes it well for me - yes, you can save money, which is great. However, if you have any delays or cancellations, get caught in a long security line and miss your flight, have a lost bag, need to rebook your flight, etc, good luck. You'll be completely abandoned under the excuse of absolute minimum service, even when something isn't your fault. Just look at what they did during the pandemic; some people booked flights that they couldn't end up taking because of last-minute pandemic movement restrictions that barred them from getting to the airport, and Ryanair refused to refund these passengers - and when those passengers then tried to get their money back through their credit card via chargebacks, Ryanair put those passengers on a blacklist and refused to let them fly with Ryanair again until they had paid the airline back. Sheesh.
Ryanair serves a purpose - but for peace of mind, if I have any another reasonable option, I'll avoid them. There's something to be said about being treated like a human being when dealing with a company, and I've found that while airlines like Lufthansa, KLM, etc are far from perfect, they generally do try to help you out when something goes wrong and have more established protocols in doing so.
You seems like one of those people that treats flight attendants from Ryanair like shit while you demand to be treated like a human 😂😂
As a Check-in Agent working at the Airport I can only agree!
Tbf your stated problem is just unfortunate circumstances and people not being able to take their flight isn't their fault
@@bocchi2403 it's their fault if their own agents check people in at the airline's main hub knowing they won't have enough time to pass security... and then proceed to just take your money and not help you.
@@dimitrissmith3768Well said.
Never had issues with Ryanair. It is totally ok for 2 - 4 hours.
Even then, if something is cheap enough, people will put up with it.
Yeah Ryanair is great cheap as hell their on time performance really isn't bad, few cancelations and you know what you're getting into because they are very open and honest about being a budget airline and their prices to prebook luggage is super cheap
Its perfectly fine, as long as you’re kneecaps are removable. You get to where you want to go. It’s just not in any way comfortable.
The problem with ryanair is boarding, check in, etc, because you are definitely gonna get fucked over if something bad happens, their customer support is somehow worst than not having one
Ryanair are really the pioneers of unbundling. They’re always the first to make passengers pay for stuff they previously got for free. Other airlines just aren’t brave enough but eventually they end up copying Ryanair’s unbundling just to compete with Ryanair on price.
I’ve used Ryanair absolutely loads and to be honest they’re absolutely fine. Only ever had one delay over an hour and even that was due to weather. As you say, follow their rules and you won’t have a problem! I even bought extra legroom for the first time on my last flights with them which was really excellent! They do a job, get you from A to B efficiently and generally on time with minimal fuss and hassle.
It's only worth to fly with them if you are living right next to a secondary airport where they are flying to/from, and you are travelling with a backpack. Otherwise, their extras and the transfer to the airports adding up so much that it's costs either just a little bit less, maybe the same but most of the cases even more than you are flying with a legacy carrier not even talking about their ridiculously inconvenient departure/arrival times.
Not really seeing as they now fly from Fiumicino, Brandenburg, Warsaw Chopin, Arlanda, etc etc , all main airports .
I mean two hour drive to airport in northern Ireland and about same for me in Poland paid 40quid last month for return flights with 10kg carry on second cheapest same flight was 170 quid 💀
I had to pay €50 just to get one piece of luggage in the hold. And that's for one flight, so for a ticket with retour, that's €100 for one piece of luggage in the hold...
@@bramvg1305 yes, but this charge is known in advance…
@@bramvg1305that’s average for any airline.
Flew them last week. Got to the airport at 6:30 am for an 8:30 flight. We boarded and then were told to get off due to a maintenance issue with the plane. They immediately boarded another group of passengers onto the same plane and they flew to a different city. Told us we’d have a new plane in an hour, then two. 11 hours we waited and the staff yelled at us when we asked for updates. That’s why my dude. That’s why.
Not their fault, the passengers are too nosy.
@@aifp3ndude, if you want to get somwhere fast you logically will ask several times when your next flight will start. If they are just telling you to wait for hours and hours its just fkin normal to ask again. I wouldnt want to wait like 6 extra hours without getting the informations I need.
You have no clue about the logistics of aircraft positioning. Btw, I’ve had long long delays and cancellations with BA and lufthansa😂
@@pattt6532information*
@@pattt6532haha I think they were kidding. In my experience, I’d always fly Easyjet over Ryanair.
Its actually worth it its so good its always quiet people in Ryanair i flied Ryanair 2 years ago and its worth it they let you play games on ryanair trust me the staff is nice.
I flew with them a couple of times and what I noticed was that they were regularly an hour late and constantly tried to sell you something, like they went down the isle selling something four times during an one hour flight. You also get to take less weight with your luggage and they're not as generous with cabin bags that are a bit big. The food situation is the same since British airways stopped handing out snacks for free (went from three snacks over two to one to none in less than a year), but you can just get a meal deal before boarding as well as cheap water, which I highly recommend. Prices depend on time though, not airline. If you book early, prices are low, if you book a day before, you'll pay 4x as much no matter the airline. I once paid 170€ for a one hour Ryanair flight because it was an emergency and on the next day
They left us at an airport in spain once with no checkin desk about 1:15 hour before take off , with no-one to talk to. When we were finally at the gate (our luggage with knifes, fluets etc had to go through security), the Ryanair staff smiled at us and closed the gate door right in front of us.
Refusing to react to our knocking and other actions to get their attention.
Then we had to leave the security area again, but with nobody speaking english or german (or our native language) at security that was a hassle as well. In the and we had to make a scene to get to someone speaking a language we speak as well. Just for them to tell us Ryanair does that more often.
THE AIRPORT management had to fix the situation and get us on another flight, because nobody at Ryanair even picked up the phone.
We never had any problems in any other airlines. And I will not fly Ryanair again.
We never had any problem with BMIbaby, Easyjet, klm, transavia, martinair, AirBerlin, Vueling etc.
Kudos to Transavia and the Alicante Airport for getting us home btw
Just a quick FYI, most ground staff in airlines aren’t recruited by the airlines themselves, nor provided training by those airlines. They’re contracted by other companies to wear their uniforms and represent. Few companies like Dnata, DHL, Menzies etc.
@@alexorjerry yes many forget this and will shout at swissport for Ryanair’s failings
@@alexorjerry it‘s still Ryanair’s fault. You can hardly argue that those reoccurring problems are just down to third party service companies. Why does this not happen with other airlines this often?
@@realStyleguide it’s definitely not mate, but think what you want. Most point out Ryanair because 1) they have over 400 aircraft that fly exclusively short-long haul and can do up to 4 sectors a day, so the margins for error is very small. 2) weather changes and needs to be avoided. 3) sometimes ground staff also have issues. Airlines pay contractor companies to wear their uniform. You don’t meet an actual Ryanair employee until you step onboard.
My main problem with Ryanair and similar airlines is the cost of luggage. Sure if you only take a backpack it’s pretty cheap but I’ve been on travels that just the addition of my carry on made the flight more expensive than other airlines
i mean, shit happens, you don't know what happened to the plane
Exactly. My ryanair flight next week was £92 for the return, however that doesnt include the cost of hand luggage, only a 'personal item'. The cost of hand luggage on top almost doubles the price.
More weight = more fuel needed. Basic physics..
@@alexorjerry weight of bag 10-20 kg, payment to bring such bag on plane - double or even more than the price of the flight. Considering an average adult weighs 70-75kg this is bullshyt not physics my friend.
@@D0wNhiLL You’ve clearly studied how mass and balance on an aircraft works haven’t you, and yes it is basic physics that more weight requires more force to move.
We don't hate Ryanair services, we hate Ryanair landings 😭🤚
My problem with airlines like that is that the ticket price doubles if you want the small luxury of sitting with your family, when in reality the airline could have accommodated group seating without charging
I flew on Ryanair once, and the plane was delayed for 4 hours, and then when we got on, the captain said it was due to a fault.
Then, while we were flying one of the pannels on the bottom of the plane fell off 💀
It didn’t fall off💀 you are either talking about the flaps or the spoilers
@fluff No, this was on the bottom side of the plane where abouts the cargo goes
1. I know because I saw it there was a big gap of a different colour.
2. There were airport people cordening it off and inspecting it
@@fluff-so3hx already done my own separate comment on this but last time I flew Ryan Air the engine caught on fire just as we were taking off.
Then you would’ve got compensation 😉

Honestly paris is the only place I WONT go with RyanAir, it's so inconvenient and the worst (of hundreds!) airport I've ever been to.
@@lemonpoppyseedsAgreed. Beauvais is a horrible airport, and my least favourite one to fly to. I try to avoid it and fly to Orly if I can, whenever I happen to be going to Paris
Avoid Paris airports at all costs,( unless you're actually going there)
I love Ryan Air always on time with lovely cabin crew!
Ryanair is amazing value if you are flying solo with only hand luggage and everything goes smoothly.
If you are flying in groups/as a family, they will purposely spread you around the plane to make you pay a shit ton extra to select seats to sit together.
And if something goes wrong and you end up stranded or lose luggage etc. then Ryanair are basically like “lol tough shit bro” whilst legacy airlines generally try to help you out as best they can.
I have travelled with ryanair with friends and not had that issue at all, we've always booked well enough in advance to get seated together.
I don't find them that cheap. Flying as a couple return Bordeaux-Malaga return in March was almost 400€. I hate the fact that there's no seat back pockets to put things in, water bottle etc.
I just dump my rubbish on the floor. Not my problem. I am not holding a soiled napkin fir two hours until the scratch card monkey walks by.
Ive been only using ryanair my whole life and from my experience i really like flying them
People are hating on Ryanair but not realizing that it had never had a single crash yet
I’ve flown Ryanair so many times and I agree why do people hate Ryanair so much?
it's because chubby aviation geeks who've never flown ryanair (and sometimes not an airliner at all) have seen 1 hour clips of ryanair hard landings
The problem is not about the about service they offer but it’s how they treat their employees, under paid, working condition and etc.
The employees can just leave lol
It's their fault their working at that airline
@@Froxxsin they cannot neccesarily get a job somewhere else and it doesn't matter. If you were underpaid and mistreated you too would want to change that
Source?
@@taxemaxe123Well yes while that is true, they chose this path. And knew the job availability.
Friend of mine is Irish and flies frequently between Frankfurt Hahn and Dublin/Kerry, usually Ryanair or AerLingus. I don't remember when the last time was he had a non crash-like Ryanair landing. Additionally them sometimes being a danger to other aircraft due to ultra low fuel levels is a huge no go for me. Hope train infrastructure and cross border tickets improve in Germany to the point where they aren't needed anymore
i will always fly them over SAS and Aer lingus because ryanair is actually capable of running a competent operation. I always have so many delays and some cancellations with SAS.
perfect for short flights, also you get exactly what you pay for.
Also Ryanair are very upfront about what they are (low-cost carrier) and what you get, unlike BA who for short haul pretend they are something special but are just an overpriced low quality carrier.
For me it’s that they never park the plane directly next to the aisle but 100m away and you have to queue outside at the stairs regardless of the weather.
Yes! And they make people go outside under a heavy rain and wait there for 30-40 minutes without allowing to come back to the terminal because "the gate is already closed". Why did you push people outside if the plane is not ready???
Now those are some first world country problems. How lazy can you be?
Simple. Because a flight can cost around £80 BUT a single hold luggage can cost an extra £80! I shouldn’t have to pay extra for hold luggage since the planes are designed to take that weight in the first place
Business in Air-France is pretty nice, got me a bottle of wine to sip enjoying the Alps while going back from an emergency trip overseas
Almost the whole comment section is probably undercover sales managers from Ryanair💀
HAHAHA
fr
Definitely
You think they will hire sales managers?
Because the flight time is usually less than the time you spend trying to avoid being TRICKED into extras while booking and checking in to a flight.
Exactly. A couple of time they just cancelled a fligh and changed if with the same exact flight so that people who booked months in advance had to rebook and spend more on the exact same flight
Being tricked into extras? Really? Like what extras? I've flown with ryanair multiple times and they make their baggage policy and the necessity of online check-in pretty clear.
I believe Ryanair is not bad but the only problem is that with Ryanair you can fly in only limited airports . An really good budget airline for me is easyjet you can fly in more airports and still really cheap . Not as Ryanair but if you want to go to like london with Ryanair you can’t fly from small city’s directly to london but with easyjet you can and I am pretty sure with wiz air to !
Thank you very much for explaining that our company isn't bad. Over the past years of working for the Ryanair community we've been getting loads of hate for our services, many people have been talking bad about our company and spreading rumors about our hard landings. The only times we land hard is when our aircraft is facing a short runway or in some crosswind. Thank you very much for reading and we hope you enjoy flying with us 😊
If I compare Ryanair to other airlines I always end up almost at the same price. Problem is, that I then have to travel additionally from somewhere very remote.
People are expecting first class seats for £5💀
No, people are expecting second class and getting third class
@@ecstasycalculus don't expect much for £5
@@MrCraft_SO2 For £20 (which is what I paid the one time I flew Ryanair, Rome to Barcelona) I expect to not be sitting on the tarmac for over an hour (which is exactly what happened)
@@ecstasycalculus Ryanair can't control weather or what's happening in the airport - I don't know what the issue was however it's probably the first one.
The times when Ryanair economy fairs were costing 5£ or 5€ are over. Even the normal fairs without the extras are similar to the most airlines now. So you are paying more for worse service, while you could get better service easily at the same cost.
the butter landing:
I LOVE ryanair. Good headphones and a sleeping mask and you're golden. Sleep, watch a movie, and spend the money you saved from flying another airline doing something you like!!
Flown with RyanAir (Malta Air) a couple of times now from the UK to Malta (and back). Personally I couldn't fault them. Price was right and the service was on point for what it is!
If you add the extra luggage fees, the bus/train to and from the small airports, it comes to the same price as a flagship airline and you are also not bombarded with someone trying to sell you overpriced parfume.
yep, i think Ryanair is only worth it if you’re okay with a backpack holiday and no suitcase. but to be fair, flight companies like EasyJet and Jet2 also don’t automatically come with luggage and you still have to pay extra, although it might be like £30 for easyjet luggage and £80 for ryanair
Not always. Our MAN-GOT-STD trip this summer is coming in, with checked luggage, £200+ cheaper than the equivalent with BA. Coming from south Wales, getting to MAN or from STD is no worse for us than getting to LHR or LGW, especially now the Elizabeth Line is a thing and thru-London travel doesn't have to involve a taxi or the H&C tube line
@@michaelocyoung yeah the direct cardiff to manchester train with TfW is great!!
@@han9488 Usually I used to work for them on that route so I know what can go wrong! We're breaking our journey at Crewe so we can have a drink, save going into Picc and back out again. Putting our trust in Northern!
@@michaelocyoung ahh i only got it once but i liked it then :) i’ve just had so many bad experiences with crosscountry being so cramped that TfW with space and plug sockets felt like a luxury 😂
Reason why people hate ryan air so much: Basically ryan air does a very hard and not smooth landing thats the reason why its so cheap and people dont like much,plus the seat quality is also preaty cheap and the food price aswell!
It also is about how Ryanair treats the employees (pilots are self employed and don’t get money, when they are sick for example, flight attendants get paid way less than premium airlines do, everything costs extra for example the rules for handluggage are more enforced, LH might accept you taking a little bit more than you are allowed to, without charging you for it etc.) and in addition, once you get stranded somewhere with Ryanair, you barely get helped, because they don’t have staff at airports anyway.
They don't do connections. They are strict with cabin baggage. Shittiest hours. But worst, they actually change destinations during the flight and cancel flights
They just fly their planes all day long, a consequence being that some routes will be served very early or very late, and I've never had a Ryanair flight change destination midflight
@@grassytramtracks I had, twice. Flying to Berlin and landing in Hanover, because it's too late to land in Berlin.
BA is more comfortable & less strict with their rules. Def found it a smoother ride & they’re more accommodating if something goes wrong whereas RyanAir just says “well good luck with that” 😂😂
Also BA let’s you sleep on the flight instead of having constant announcements and trying to upsell you random overpriced merchandise irrelevant to your vacation mid-flight
I'm not european and not familiar with the whole scape behind Ryanair and easyjet but when I compare what they look like on the internet and the price people are saying they paid for (around 20-50 bucks) it's totally fine, great even. I love their first come, first serve policy
Just got off a Ryanair flight from Sofia to stansted and Ryanair is EZ THE BEST AIRLINE IN THE WORLD no joke
I have flown them quite a lot as it’s the cheapest tickets and have flown them from a young age and have never really had any problems. I feel that just a couple flights were bad and when that got online a lot of people who had never flown them just started saying that they were bad. When there not. You pay £20/20€ you get £20/20€s worth and you fly on new modern aircraft 1000s of KMs, so really not that bad.
Because the working conditions of the personnel are inhumane
Don't know what industry you work in. For millions working in healthcare, catering and hospitality, construction, delivery services etc etc your comment will seem incongruous.
I can’t do that color scheme seat and design. Disturbs me
Thank u for flying ryanair over the last 90 years all our passengers died from landings!
I’ve been flying Ryanair for years. It’s the cheapest way to fly around Europe, however things that have happened since I started using them include making you purchase a seat, reducing the size of your carry on luggage to the point you have to buy extra luggage which often costs more than your flight, so sometimes it ends up being more expensive than some of its competitors which defeats the object. There is less leg room on their planes which if you are 6”4 like me can be a little uncomfortable. All in all 2015 to 2017 was peak Ryanair for me, I could fly to and from Germany with luggage and for less than a semi local regional train ticket in the UK. I do still rate them but liken them now to that free app you download that then forces you into in-app purchases 😂
The reason they are “hated” is large part their joke that they are awful service and cannot lane a plane normally, but actually the fact you can fly all over Europe for their prices is ridiculous
I always felt they are creating new rules all the time, trying to make you screw up so you have to pay a fine. That stressed me so much that I felt more relaxed flying essentially any other airline.
I have only flown Ryanair once. It was from London to Copenhagen, or rather Malmo. After it was over I figured out it would have been cheaper, and of course faster, to fly BA to the real Copenhagen Airport. Flying Ryanair took a LOT longer since I had to take a bus from Malmo to downtown Copenhagen instead of the metro.
The problem with Ryanair is that they aggressively try to get you to waste your money with extras
You’ve missed the point Dan. Ryanair doesn’t touch the service offered with Club Europe for example. They don’t have lounges or fast track security or a proper loyalty scheme that can benefit frequent travellers. I fly BA in Europe in Club for its service, avios and tier points as well its priority check-in, security boarding, disembarking and baggage reclaim.
Which all is lovely but comes at a price. I don’t think Dan has missed the point at all, Ryanair is a budget airline. They are dirt cheap, hence why they don’t offer this premium service you talk about. Given a one way in Club Europe can be £100’s I would expect that service, but not from a £10 ticket on Ryanair from Stansted
I also loved RyanAir traveling last year!
Sorry for your loss.
@@srwgames2975Ryanair is fine, it's a basic service, but that's what you're paying for so that's what they give you
I flew RyanAir twice for a school trip in highschool. I'm 172cm tall and my knees hit the seat in front of me if I wasn't careful.
I was 18 and the 3½ hour flight back home in such cramped conditions gave me a thrombosis in my leg. (Yes, I've flown many times before that and after that and never had I have a more uncomfortable flight.)
Not to mention they can only be so cheap because you fly out to airports in the middle of nowhere that are hard to get to or out of, especially if you can only do public transport.
I did 20 years with a full service airline and you'd always get something to eat even if it was between bfast, lunch and dinner. If there were significant delays which were pretty rare we'd give out vouchers for use in the terminal, if you missed a flight we'd get you on the next one. We always did what we could to help passengers as they were paying a premium price. You get what you pay for.
Some People hate ryanair just because of "hard landing" and "pilot get fired because he made a smooth landing" people only record when ryanair pilot made a hard landing not the smooth landing
They moved my flughts departure time 8 hours before departure, informed us 4 hours before the original departure time, giving us: 1 hour 30 mins to get to the airport with the new departure time. (I live 2 hours from the airport) Because of this, we missed the flight. No compensation what so ever. Just a "sorry for the inconvenience"
Since the end of 2021 you have been able to get compensation for flights being brought forward by more than 1 hour without 14 days notice. It classed like a cancelled flight under EU261.
Ryanair is the airline that wants to charge us for using the bathroom... right?
well it doesn't, does it? they also wanted to introduce "standing flying" but didn't
@@moistschmeckles400 Exactly my point. They try to push “making a buck” to the extreme... to the point where it’s childish and ridiculous, not to mention completely inviable.
I think on the longer flights they let you use the bathroom for free
And this is the moment I realised that during all the flight I've been on, all Ryanair, i have never once use the bathroom on an airplane.
I mean flying inside of Europe doesnt take that long but... How tf did i not even check them out out of curiosity?!
@@littleloner1159 You must have a big bladder.
U and ryanair are both underrated
They charge extra for priority boarding, so you can choose your seat - which gets you priority onto the bus, not the plane, so there's literally no benefit. They don't fly to the cities they claim (100km away in some cases). They spend half the flight trying to sell tat like lottery tickets. They force you to buy special hand baggage as they don't accept standard-sized carry-ons. I could go on ...
At least it isn't as bad as Spirit Airlines (you can tell by the name). Plus, the Priority Boarding is optional and the reason why they don't fly to the nearest airport in every city is plainly because it is a budget airline and it might save time like any other budget airline. I'm not saying Ryanair is the best and your wrong I am just saying that it isn't really that bad as people think. It's just a normal airline :)
But the thing about lottery is very true on literally every budget airline!
@@baejavan_267 I used to fly it twice a month (as it was the only airline to fly that particular route); these days I'll pay three times as much to avoid it!
It's all optional, and even if you pick every option - it's still cheaper than Lufthansa or KLM. Also: WHERE do they land 100km away?! You're just talking out of your rear end.
@@SkywalkerWroc "Frankfurt" Hahn. Measure it.
@@SkywalkerWroc Exactly
Getting water is a human right, shocking that they ask you to pay for it. It should be free.
Say that to Nestle
Wouldn't say anything, if most Ryanair flights wouldn't be 3 hours or less. At that point, you can just drink before your flight, and be alright.
I started to feel dizzy and sick short after we reached the flight height. I asked the fly attendant for purchase of a bottle of water, as I knew that Ryanair would never give you even a drop for free. Even if I told her, that I'm feeling dizzy and sick, I received the reply that I have to wait my turn after they will start the on-board service in 15 min. The passenger next ti me gave me his water as I was in risk to faint. I flew with them for eight years regularly, but since then never more.
Your a legend dan i agree with you, ill be flying with ryanair for 7 years now and no problems, tysm for respecting this airline ❤❤
I've no issue with Ryanair but every time Michael O'Leary opens his mouth I can see why people hate on Ryanair
As someone who works in the aviation industry I will not get on a Ryanair flight even at gun point.
Then explain why
Their pilot training is thorough and very good, strong safety culture from what I can tell
@@iaexo Their safety culture leaves a lot to be desired. I have witnessed some fairly hair raising things first hand. Cheap ticket prices are actually just a result of maximum misuse of subsidies and questionable labour policies.
@@HunterPanoch Not my job to explain. The information is out there and freely available if you care to dig into this. You do whatever you want. I’m not getting on a Ryanair ride even at gun point.
@@fairdragon79 you're literally just proving the point of the video that they're completely fine and you're just riding the wave of people saying they don't like it. I have flown with them multiple times and they're one of my favorite European airlines.
You might wanna ask the Ryanair employees how their work conditions are…and then reconsider supporting this BS
They have a choice to work there or to not work there. End of the day I am not paying £100+ more for a flight to go to the same place on another airline just cos people hate Ryanair 😂😂
The flight will run regardless of whether you fly on it. If you don't, someone else will. No one cares about your 'protest.'
@@dxnnyk1411 Did you ever hear of supply and demand? It often helps to think about how one’s individual choices impact a larger system instead of writing small minded comments
If noone going to work for Ryanair like me, ryanair wont exist. And then.. you do not have a cheap flights anymore
@@zv5501 the fact you're willing to use them despite knowing the conditions means you're exactly the demand in the market they are filling.
I love Ryanair, they are rarely delayed, at least not the flights I've been on, where as most full service lines I've used is frequently delayed. Especially Air Canada and Latehansa.
I think most people who comment bad things about Ryanair haven’t even flown with them lol
I’ve flown with them four times, and every time was nothing out of the ordinary. They were short flights, but the service was great, and I had a great experience.
They had me waiting 10 hours in santiago after getting up at 4pm for a 6.20 flight.
They would have known the day before to inform customers in advance about the delay, thats what did my nut in.
He hates Etihad business class, but loves Ryanair.
Almost as if he works there💀
I like ryanair, it's cheap and gets me from point A to point B. When I fly all I want is that the plane is somewhat on time and doesn't blow up mid flight.
I’m an aircraft engineer. Ryanair are hands down the best company I’ve worked for engineering and maintenance wise. I don’t work with them anymore but they are the benchmark for me. And I’ve been with easyjet, KLM, British airways and Jet2
Absolutely right ! I have flown Ryanair maybe 100 times , never a problem . Their fares are always the best if you avoid booking at the last minute . Great airline in general !
They just randomly cancel flights sometimes. It sucks
I totally agree with you Dan. If I have a short haul flight in Europe (less than say 3 hrs) I am perfectly happy to fly Ryan Air, or SAS if I’m traveling to or from Scandinavia - in spite of the fact that both airlines have once or twice had delays of up to 2/3 hours.
Honestly agreed. Ryanair is one of my favorites ngl. They're clean and quick. Their snacks are good and affordable yet the same as on other airlines. The plane rides are cheap but their sits more comfortable than the ones on Emirates like what
still waiting for the 9 year olds to comment their unoriginal "ryanair bad landing funny!!1!" comments
Yep very true
All I can say, is that a couple weeks ago I flew from Derry to Manchester to Eindhoven and back again with Ryanair.
EVERY flight had at least a half hour delay. And we were stuck o the plane. Every flight was scheduled to be on time. I'd say the whole delay time added up was like 6, 7 hours.
And they lied to us. The first flight had a bird strike okay, but they didn't tell us for about an hour. They knew the plane had a birdstrike and they didn't tell us. Its just such a difficult airline.
I’ve never flown with them, but they’re the most honest airline when it comes to pricing.
They continue to show us that flying really *isn’t* an expensive affair and that we’re getting price-gouged by other airlines and especially the airports, when making use of their amenities like baggage handling or jetbridges/stairs.
Hence the deployable stairs AND their restrictive baggage policy!
Every holiday i have ever been on i have flew on ryanair its a very good airline tbh !
I had a very bad experience here in RyanAir. I booked a flight at 7am, at 5am, I was already in the airport and the line for checking in is very very long. They also said that they will open the desks at 730am (past my flight). The online checking in didn't work, except only for booking a "first class". I was forced to pay double the price, and when I got in, we were only 7ppl on board.
Food was not that good as well.
I fly with them and have never had a problem.. never been late .. staff are always great ..
You know why people hate Ryanair so much it’s because of their landings
They don't take responsibility for cancelations! I've had 2 occurrences with them about cancelations. The first one was in Venice where there were bad storms so they kept delaying the flight until it got cancelled and then sent us to a 4 star hotel which you might say was nice of them since they payed. But the next flight going to where in the UK I was going wasn't for 2 days after the first flight was cancelled. We had to fight them to make them pay another night at that 4 star hotel and in the end they did. The second time was a changeover and they changed the time of the second flight from an hour and a half to leave to 30 minutes to leave after the first flight landed and they wouldn't let us get a refund so we had to try and catch it. The delay for the first flight wasn't their fault since it was the air traffic control strikes but we missed the plane probably by a minute so we had to sleep in the airport and the next flight wasn't until 2 days so we were stuck in France with no help.
Who’s gonna tell him they treat employees like shit?
Is that really your bar for whether to give a company your business? Do you actually give a shit?
