Ryanair

Pros: Cheap, interesting choice of destinations
Cons: No seat bookings, flies out of London Stansted, and into weird airports

Ryanair is one of a new breed of airline, in which anyone can have the term 'jetsetter' applied to them. For a usually low price, one can fly to many destinations which while aren't usually on the A-List of tourist destinations in Europe can provide a...

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: They have very good offers
Cons: Cramped seats, no food, and possible delays

I have used Ryanair only twice in my life, on both occasions to go to Ireland.

You can pick up very good fares with this company, my sister has been able to fly to Italy on few occasions for less than £50 return, inclusive of taxes, however,...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: No customer service. Flight cancellations. Staff attitude.

A group booking was made with a Travel Agent for a school party of 28 children, their teachers and guardians travelling to Pisa, Italy. The purpose of the visit was a series of concerts in the Tuscany area. On arrival at check in at Stansted we were...

Pros: Be flexible, and get ultra-cheap flights!
Cons: Grubby.

Ok, It has to be said: when I travelled RyanAir for the first time, I was not filled with confidence. The planes are dirty, and every spare inch of cabin space is covered in advertising. In fact, several of their planes are actually giant billboards, ...

Pros: cheap tickets, if you can find them
Cons: flies into airports in the middle of nowhere

Yeap, my first trip to Europe and we decided to ease up a little on all the train rides and take some RyanAir flights instead, since the prices looked so good. I mean, you log onto the RyanAir website and the places and prices make this airline veeeerrrr ...

Pros: Cheapish. You can guarantee you won't get their headline price though
Cons: Airports amongst many problems

It is said that David O'Leary (chief executive of Ryanair) told people that he only needs to charge ...

Pros: Getting off after the flight was over
Cons: Flying with Ryanair.  Spend a bit more, go with Easyjet

Where do I start.  I would love to say that i'm happy to support all things Irish as I am from Ireland but in this case I am ashamed.  I have only flown once with Ryanair and that was enough.  I was travelling with an infant and in ...

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. Punctual (because they fly from obscure airports with few flights).
Cons: Everything else.

I have flown something over 200 Ryanair flights in the last five years, mainly between England and Ireland, but also quite often to France and Spain. My criterion is: if the price is up to £20 per flight (each leg) higher on any other airline -- I ...

Pros: What exactly is there to recommend?
Cons: Open seating, selective 'rules', inconsiderate service, miserable crew

I flew from Edinburgh to Dublin and back on Ryanair. I have also flown from Glasgow to Germany and back (that whole 'Hahn/Frankfurt' thing is a joke btw). First of all, I hate the fact that no seats are assigned. I don't see how they think things ...

Pros: cheap
Cons: dishonest, no refund, no customer service

On April 13th, 2006 I bought a ticket directly from Ryanair's website. They were supposed to operate a flight from FCO (Rome) to ALG (Alghero, Sardinia) on May 11th, 2006. I got an email from them in a few weeks later (late April) stating that because ...

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: 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, perfect if everything goes to plan
Cons: If anything goes wrong, they're quite useless. Forget them and use an alternative airline.

I've flown with Ryanair on several occasions and though not impressed with their service or rather lack of it, it was cheap and always got us where we wanted to go and back again. This time we flew from Hahn to Jerez - on time. Nothing to complain ...
