Ryanair

Pros: Fast, VERY cheap, efficient staff.
Cons: No cheap fares at weekends

Some reviewers on this site whinge so predictably, saying:
-'The cabin crew was rude to me'
-'I got no refund when my flight was cancelled'
-'I had to pay for a snack on board the plane'
And the moan-list goes on.

How...

Pros: Cheap & reliable
Cons: They could do better when things go wrong.

I have titled this 'Value for money' because in our case Ryanair represent very very good value for money. Value for money is obviously subjective so others may not see it our way.

My wife and I are from Dublin but living in Glasgow. We fly to...

Pros: $0.25 from Brussels to London! What more is there to say???
Cons: Tough to change itinerary; small out-of-the-way airports. Bring your own food.

This is a great airline. Period. I think it is one of the best kept secrets in Europe. In fact, RyanAir's vision statement is to eventually fly anyone who wants to travel in Europe for free! The way they do this is simple: RyanAir hauls cargo;...

Pros: Very low fares, cheerful cabin-attendants
Cons: None

I can't understand why everybody is bashing Ryanair - finally sonebody put a stop to the rip-off of all the high-fare airlines.

I travel frequently from Copenhagen to London and have just discovered how easy it is to travel with Ryanair from...

Pros: Modern Fleet - Open Seating - Cheap Tickets
Cons: None really - you get what you pay for

I want to briefly comment on most of the reviews that complain about seats (what economy or for that matter big airline has good seating in coach) I am 1m93 (6'4) and have not been comfortable on a plane since I was 12. They also complain about paying...

Pros: good prices, open seating great service. on time performance
Cons: restrictions on carry ons and lack of information about luggage allowances. on website.

I used this fine airline during my Europe Tour in October, 1999. I flew into Heathrow and changed to London Stansted for a trip to Dublin. I was late because American Airlines was as usual in flight delays. Ryan Air staff were generous and helpful and...

Pros: Cheap flights - what more could you want?
Cons: Not one!

I am Irish and live in France. I fly home every 6 weeks with Ryanair. My boyfriend and I have used Ryanair at least 50 times over the past few years. To get to Kerry(Ireland) from Alsace(France), Ryanair is the only way to go. I pay 40 euro(taxes ...

Pros: Cheap, on time, quick boarding operations
Cons: None

I flew with Ryanair for the first time quite many years ago. It was 1992 or 1993, from Dublin to London and back. At that time I lived and worked in Dublin. I remember people being sceptic about Ryanair, wondering whether those planes had enough fuel to...

Pros: quick, friendly service
Cons: not characteristic of a large airline, and all coach class

Taking Ryanair from France to Ireland is a treat for the pocket book. However, getting from Paris to Beauvais is definately a trek. There is a hard to find bus to get to the Beauvais airport, but I found it rather shady. Afterall, I did want to catch...

Pros: Cheap, flies to unusual destinations
Cons: no frills, but what do you expect?

I've flown Ryanair three times, once as part of a group booking, and have never had any problems at all. Each time they've undercut other airlines by 60-70% with their rock bottom prices, I've never experienced the delays and hassles other reviewers...

Pros: Cheap budget airline that are quite reliable
Cons: No frills and not always that comfortable and hidden costs

Ryanair are a no frills budget airline, claiming to be the cheapest airline around flying to Europe. Some people hate them and some people love them but you can't argue with the value for money they provide. As someone who uses Ryanair once a ...

Pros: Cheap Makes much of Europe easily accessable English Spoken
Cons: Prices can be unpredictable Out of the way airports can double travel time

Ryan Air has redefined travel in Europe. I've spent two years backpacking Europe (1 year trips, 2 times) and I've traveled on RyanAir numerous times. RyanAir models themselves after Southwest in the United States. They cut costs, have no seat ...

Pros: cheap, lots of destinations
Cons: really high charges to change flights, uses small airports

For anyone who's ever flown on a nice airline like Virgin Atlantic, you have probably been impressed by all the "free" amenities they provide. When I flew from Boston to London on Virgin Atlantic, they gave us bag filled with a toothbrush and...

Pros: Very cheap if you plan ahead.
Cons: Unallocated seating. Skimp on the little things.

Ryanair is a excellent airline if you are primarily focused on price (and you're prepared to book well in advance). Unpopular flights can be snapped for bargain basement prices where the tax makes up a larger proportion of the cost than the ticket price....

Pros: cheapness
Cons: cheapness leads to tackiness.

Well it seems that Ryanair has pretty much started dominating Europe in terms of the number of connections available. It would also appear that there isn't much to say that hasn't already been stated. So I'll just tell you my personal experiences and ...
