Fuck Ryanair !

Now wouldnt you just love if the Irish would stand up to O'leary like this......... All 166 passengers on a Ryanair flight were forced off the plane at Lanzarote airport in the Canary Islands after a large number of travellers became disruptive.
A group of 100 passengers were accused of staging a 'mutiny' after they sparked a row over baggage charges on the flight to Charleroi, Belgium.
The incident is said to have started when the airline asked some passengers to pay extra fees for carry-on luggage that was over the size limit allowed.
According to Spanish newspaper La Provincia, the travellers involved refused to follow instructions and 'mutinied' on the plane.
The pilot decided to ask for police assistance shortly before the plane was due to take-off and all passengers on board were then ordered to get off the plane immediately.
Authorities only allowed 66 of them to board the aircraft again. Meanwhile the 'disruptive' passengers, reportedly all Belgian students, were removed from the flight.
Budget airline Ryanair said in a statement: "Ryanair apologises sincerely to the 66 remaining passengers who suffered a 3-hour delay while Ryanair and the local police were dealing with this disruptive group. Ryanair's handling agent in Lanzarote will be reaccommodating some of this group on later flights to Charleroi but any individuals who engaged in disruptive behaviour or refused to follow crew instructions will not be allowed to fly."
Some of the students managed to catch alternative flights, but about 70 of them remained stranded last night.

Ryanair is completely right, fuck them off the plane and leave them there!!!

ryanair makes their charges very clear to everyone and everyone knows about them, if you don't like it, don't fly with them!!!

ryanair is the biggest airline in europe for a reason - their cheap, we all know the way they treat people, but yet people insist on complaining about the charges after they buy the ticket, instead of opting to fly with someone else.

the fact of the matter is, it's up to you wether or not you want to fly ryanair or not, before ryanair existed virtually no one could afford to fly no almost everyone can, why because of ryanairs cheap fares that the others have to compete with - people have such short memories sometimes.

I recently went to the uk ryanair total cost €67 airlingus €289!!! guess who i flew with???

not to mention more than 99% of ryanairs flights arrive on time.

Never thought of the Belgians as being radical. The Irish complaining ,no chance !

I agree we should complain more, but complain about things that we can't choose to do, use or the the way the country is run.

if you don't like ryanair just don't use them simple!! complain by using a different airline - it's really that simple

granted some people stood up to Ryanair but they were all fucked off the flight and on top of that made people who are happy to pay the charges 3 hours late.

this post almost reminds me of the hundreds of "escorts are too expensive" threads, at least Ryanair doesn't try and hid their "extras" unlike some of the girls I have met here. AT the end of the day if people don't want to follow Ryanairs clearly laid out rules and pay their prices then they should fuck off and travel with a competitor. Ryanair is one of this countries greatest success stories and all anybody ever does is bad mouth them, when instead of spending the evening giving out why not read their rules!!!!!

Proper order too. In the good old days, that class of passenger would have been forced to travel steerage. I suppose the modern day equivalent would be to put them in the cargo hold. If they cant behave themselves they should stay at home.

I agree - Ryan Air make no pretense - they are what they are and I for one like them - cheap flights - remember pre Ryan Air what you had to pay to get off this bloody island. If you don't like them then choose another airline. As to throwing off rowdy passengers well having endured drunks on flights about time - sit in your seat and don't piss people off and you get to fly - simple really.

Spanish people have also stood up to the ridiculous charges Ryanair have. A judge recently ruled that the charge for not printing your boarding card is not legal. The airline selling the ticket is responsible for issuing you with a ticket to board the plane. Obviously Ryanair earn loads from this so aren't taking it laying down. They've appealed the decision so passengers wait with bated breath for the time being.

What I find OTT is this: You have to print a boarding card on A4 paper, or pay £40 for them to issue this at the airport. I didn't print mine off for my flight here on Saturday. I wasn't issued with an A4 boarding card, far from it. A tiny piece of tracing paper with faded writing on it seemed to be fine. £40 well spent eh. If I would have presented this as a boarding card I would have been laughed at but it's ok for them. hmmm. In the end I would have been better off flying with a different airline by the time I'd paid this. Own fault I know but it still stings.

Although I HATE flying with Ryanair (feeling like cattle, fighting for a seat, being bombarded with adverts for the entire duration of the flight and so on), I'm with you HL - they're loads cheaper the majority of the time. However, if another airline slightly more expensive I'd fly with them rather than give O'Leary my business.

He's good at making money but there's more to a successful business than the bottom line. I could make more money if I rushed my clients and didn't offer a good service but I refuse to be this way. Such a thing called Pride gets in the way, I'm happy to report.
He isn't a good business man if people are continually unhappy with the service he offers. It's a case of like it or lump it. I see no reason why the general public shouldn't try and fight against the excessive charges that are invented every few months. Power to the people!

Go Girl......Power to you...will you run for our Election please!

Fuck them if they can't read the T&C they should not be allowed on a plane also if it were not for Ryanair doubt they could afford to travel to spain

The people were spanish who took Ryanair to court. That's why unlike English and Irish they're doing something about what they
see as a problem rather than sit on their arses complaining.

Ryanair aren't the be all and end all of cheap air travel. They're slightly cheaper if you dance to their tune but one small error and BANG - That'll be 50euro extra. No please, thank you, kiss my arse - nothing. Just pay. Bollox to them. Fingers crossed the spanish court rip them apart and make them pay back every penny they've squeezed out of people for petty crap.

We need more people like you here Alex.........

I've been using ryanair flights at least once a month for the last four years and have only twice been delayed in all that time.

The abuse, whingeing and plain rudeness towards staff I've sometimes witnessed is jaw-dropping.

A Ryanair flight is a flying cattle truck, but it gets me to the destination I go to on time, almost every time (2 late flights late in the above period that I can remember) sometimes for less than the cost of either the taxi fare to get to the airport or the cost to leave the car in the long-term car park.

All their charges are laid out before you when you book, if you pack too much, forget your pass etc that is your fault not theirs.
I have forgotton my pass a few times but cest la vie, I cant justifiably give out to them abaout that.

I have never had a problem with ryanair I have got some very good deals I find if you play by the rules you will be ok.
As for those students deck them.

If it were not for ryanair you would still be paying aer lingus or british airways mad money to fly they've changed the whole industry and people travel way more now because of this. If you don't like them don't use them as you can now use other airlines that have being forced to match rayanair prices.

That's exactly what is needed successful business men in charge of the country, politicians are just morons! a half dozen of our most successful business men in charge for a few years and i guarantee we'll have better services and less debt!

The real culprit here seems to have got off without any criticism.

We are talking about a large party of students. Surely this was some kind of organised group?

With, just perhaps, an organiser.

Had the students each gone on line and booked their own tickets themselves or had the person organising the trip done that? It seems likely to me that nobody had bothered to explain the rules to the students.

students tend yo be young, idealistic and stupid!!! they will generally go along with anything to get a laugh out of it, I live near a university and if you saw the way they carry on you'd want the whole lot of the euthanized, drunk at 3pm, littering everywhere, hurling abuse at people for no reason, pissing in peoples gardens or in the middle of the street, shitting on peoples cars, dancing on peoples cars, 24hr parties, sex in public - in view of kids!!! i could go on and on and on!!!!!!
young people have it too easy nowadays, a recession was needed to give them a taste of real life but unfortunately that hasn't worked either, i don't know where they get the money but they are out drinking at least 3-4 nights a week.

In fairness to Micheal O'leary he is running a successful airline company with the newest fleet of planes. Its a no frills budget airline ideal for a weekend away. Budget airlines are also responsable for lowering fares of other airlines including long haul flights. The cost of a flight to america from europe is definately about a third of what it was in the late 80s early 90s thanks to companies like Ryanair.

It might just clear some of this crap out and get this country going.

People are always knocking Ryanair in this country. But that's no surprise. If it's the trendy or popular thing to do everyone else will follow.

Why can't people use their own minds, stop behaving like sheep, and go their own way.

The very same people that complain about Ryanair, will still use them to fly over to Liverpool and Manchester every weekend to watch football. They couldn't do that without Mr O'Leary

Micheal is about to set the cat among the piegons again as he is talking of sourcing planes from the chinese and russians
this will fairly put the wind up the big manafactures who to all intents and purposes have a monopoly as no one else is servicing
the market. If he opens the door into the market for thee guys id say he will get some deal. Rock on Micheal i say

I'm quiet fed up listening to people moaning about Ryanair.

Ryanair is not a silver service airline and doesn't claim to be. It is what it is in plain black and white. You pay for what you use, no freebees, no excuses, not crap. It does exactly what it says on the tin. So as Mr. O'Leary himself might say, "put up or shut up". It's not like you weren't made aware of exactly what the deal is and if you don't like it fly with someone else.

This particular incident - Ryanair did the right thing. F**k those thugs off the plane and leave them on the street I say. Bad enough the rest of the passengers having to listen to them kicking off without then having to share the plane with them afterwards on a flight.

And remember - if it weren't for Ryanair we might still be paying Aer Lingus €500 for a Wednesday afternoon flight to London.

Ryanair owen all there planes the rest lease say no more.

I love RYANAIR .
for me is the best
i had more then 40 Flights with them i can not complain

Never like them, crowd of peasants, looking to rob the last penny.
