Ryanair sticks the boot into families

[Mymisters]

Ryanair will eventually go too far with the penny pinching.
I hate travelling with Ryanair and only use them if I have no other alternative.
I pay more to travel with another carrier when I can to get better service.
Ryanair no longer allow elderly people on first (they will if you pay).
And the last time I went with them they made everyone test their bag to make sure it fitted into the overhead bin. They just wanted that extra money when they made you check it on.

Well the rules are there with Ryan Air they are totally transparent, weigh ure luggage before u leave home, make sure ure there on time,be
cchecked in online and if u cant stay within the rules fly with someone else and stop bitching. I dont think anyone puts a gun to your head to
book a Ryan Air flight . People complain about Ryan Air being greedy for their charges but the facts are that people want to fly as cheap as
posible and take as much luggage as possible so are they not also being greedy. Just stop and think what it would cost to fly if the Ryan Airs
were not there and u were depending on the Aer linguses of this world who would still be putting up their cabin crew in 5 star hotels with fat
expense accounts if not for competition. Where did u think the money for that came from exept from the price of ure ticket.

O'Leary and his band of yeild managers are hungry c**ts, they squeeze the market for every last cent with total disregard for the welfare of their passengers, even when Easyjet tried to set up routes , Ryanair flew people for nothing, just to ensure that Easyjet would have to pull off those routes and thus allow Ryanair to continue their monopoly of bleeding their Irish customers dry.

It makes a mockery of Ryanairs assertions that the € 10 tax on flights into Dublin is prohibitive to tourists coming here and then they go and hike up their own baggage charges during the peak time for travel.

And yet thousands upon thousands of people fly with them - why is that?

send your stuff on with dhl/tnt etcetera to your hotel destintion- it can work out quite reasonable and you dont have to cart it around.

anyway If i owned an airline i would charge under 18's at treble the price - bloody pests the lot of 'em

Personally over time I think Ryanair will shoot themselves in the foot.

I have personally curtailed my foreign trips via Ryanair the main reason being that its becoming a pain in the arse flying with Ryanair, with their e-boarding card only policy, pissy charges with everything. A 15kg weight restriction compared with 20kg for most other Airlines.

Recently I flew Contential to NYC for 377 return. Which mile for mile is cheaper than anything O'leary has to offer. And the difference wow, Free meals, Free Movies, Free beverages (not beer), and the staff were super as well.

I agree with a lot of your points, but I don't like the way Ryanair seems to pick on particular social groups and be unfair towards them. It was the same years ago, when they wouldn't take disabled people for various ecconomic reasons. There is no doubt O'Leary is a brilliant businessman and there is a lot of good to be said for Ryanair, but I still don't like all their practices.

Ryanair have already taken there costcutting measures to far for me,also alot of my friends wont travel with them unless there is no alternative or if there a third the cost of another carrier,there good for business travel on my own BUT if its only abit extra to go with another carrier i will pay the extra.I also didnt like olearys handling of the maintanence jobs,whatever beef he has with the DAA and the government he should not play roulette with people livelyhoods,for the sake of Ireland he should have kept those jobs in Ireland,something people should remember when there booking there next flight.
