I hate Ryanair. I may be spoiled, but I like airlines that offer advance seat assignments and first class cabins for upgrades or to fly in if I have enough money to buy the ticket. I like to earn miles for upgrades or to fly to other countries. Call me a...

Cons: Cranky flight attendants, expensive food, distance from airports to city

I have travelled 3 times now on Ryanair in the past year or so (CIA-GRO, CIA-BVA, GRO-BVA). As the tickets were extremely cheap, all under 30 Euro, I did not expect luxury. The check-ins were busy each time, even at 5am in the morning, though they ...

Two friends and I recently took Ryanair for a short US vacation. After the experience, I have to say that in future, I will pay the extra money to fly on a real airline.

To begin with, our flight out was 3 hours late. While we waited, we...

Pros: cheap seats on weekdays
Cons: dreadful service, airports far away from cities, trouble if your flight is canceled

The first introduction that most people have to ryanair is an advertisement pushing exceedingly low fares. The website is efficient and easy to work through but the good points stop here.

Cons: doesn't fly into main airports

I flew Ryanair from London to Stockholm in December of 2000. The best thing about Ryanair is the low fares. They have regular sales where you can get a round-trip ticket to any number of desinations for about $2.00, $36.00 after taxes are added. No...

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