Instead of viewing Ryanair as charging you for every little thing, look at it as they’re not charging you for what you don’t need to keep the prices as low for you as possible.

Imagine a Ryanair flight where Josh is shooting his review while Mentour is the pilot flying.😂

I've flown Ryanair numerous times and never had a problem with them. Follow their rules and it's very cheap and easy. Also being 191 cm. Tall I love that their seats don't recline, so the person in front of me don't break my knee caps, when trying to recline as on other airlines

I'm doing research in operations management and also worked for a german airline.
After I took a very deep dive into Ryanairs operations and management I was very impressed by the insane efficiency with wich they perform every day. Their financials look beautiful, so I was a happy Shareholder for about a decade.

The development of airline industry in Europe is also a fun story to tell. 10+ years ago everyone was laughing at Ryanair. No seat reservation, no free catering, no checked bags, no free cancelation.
But look at almost any carrier in Europe now. They have all become Ryanair, but charging still Lufthansa, BA or KLM prices.

Once we were on Ibiza when there was a rumor that flight control in Madrid could go on strike. Friends of ours flew Ryanair and their flight was the only one to get canceled. Ryanair, being obliged to offer them an alternative flight, rebooked them on a flight leaving from Girona airport (on the mainland), the following morning, leaving it up to them how to get there. When they complained and told the service rep that there was no way they could get there in time, the answer was: that is your problem, and with that they were left on their own.
If your flight is uneventful, Ryanair is fine, but as soon as something goes wrong, you’re left to your own devices.

Thank you, first time I watch a review of Ryan Air. I like that they stop backpackers boarding with large pack and take huge space in overhead compartment free....

LOVE the old style telephone in the hotel room!!! Congratulations on your award Josh, well deserved!

The wild thing about BER is that it isn’t a new airport, just SXF with a new terminal and an extra runway.

[celticmist]

Always dependable, low frills, you get what you pay for and they deliver that and more!

i worked for ryanair a few years back as a cabin crew and lasted 2 months (and the 2 month training) i can not believe is legal to pay the crew what they paid us, i hope it has changed now but honestly knowing their ceo i dont think so.
being paid 6 euros an hour (flight hour, meaning boarding disembarking and turnarounds not paid) while having to move to a random city they assiged you without asking preferences was a truly horrible experience, not to mention we werent legally cabin crew but they made us sign a contract with a 3rd party company that had us signed as "junior customer service agent"

In Germany they charge to use the bathrooms, why wouldn't they charge for the view from the terrace! No surprise. What a shame

[FlywithMagnar]

The landing in a Boeing 737 feels hard because the ground spoilers pop up at touch down. This causes the aircraft to settle rapidly on the runway when the wing loses lift. This, in turn, makes the brakes more efficient, and the landing distance is reduced = Better safety.

Southwest Airlines has the largest 737 in the world with 816 planes

I have flown Ryanair 6/8 times a year for the past 15 years, they do charge for everything but the overall cost is lower than rivals, their timekeeping is good, on the one occasion there was a delay they put us up in a 4star hotel including breakfast and flew us home the next day. Also on the route we fly they have the 737 800 2 series which is great.

[aoifekiernanl]

My favourite memory as Ryanair cabin crew for 3 years was an English couple telling me that they didn't like Ryanair while they were asking me for their 10p change.
Hope you got a good pint in my home city

[flytLive]

Never had any unpleasend experience with ryanair if you know their rules. Always gonna fly them since there are no delays.

I made 3 trips from London to France in the space of 2 weeks last year during the Rugby World Cup.

Flew easyJet Luton to Nice. £130 return, flight back about an hour late. Plane back was older and less comfortable, although the flight wasn't full.

Flew British Airways London to Lyon. £203 return. Ok flight going as flight was on time and empty. Flight back was delayed and hour taking off. Spent 40 minutes circling over London and as their was no gate available when we landed it took nearly 2 hours from landing to get out of the airport.

Then flew Ryanair, Stansted to Lourdes and Toulouse to Stansted. £64 including seats. Both flights landed early. Seats were comfortable.

The Ryanair trip was booked 11 days before departure. The other two I booked 5/6 months in advance

The name says it: It's a budget airline. I like travelling with Ryanair through Europe, especially with carry-on only. I don't need a huge seat or complementary meal, when the flight's only 2-3 hours.

If you travel between Berlin and London, BA is cheaper than Ryanair.
BA. You land on LHR T5, you have 1 personal item, 1 carry-on and 1 check-in luggae included.
In Ryanair you land on STN, you have only 1 personal item included. you have to pay for 1 carry-on, 1 check-in luggage.
but in LHR you have Tube, in STN you have to pay for Stansted Express to Liverpool Street or National Express to Victoria Coach Station.

When you travel from BER to Mallorca.
You pay 360 euro for Ryanair with luggage (1 personal item, 1 carry on and 1 checked-in).
But comparing to BA:
1. Price is almost the same.
2. Ryan goes directly to PMI Palma.
3. BA has connection in LHR. BER - LHR and LHR - PMI.
4. With Ryan you use stair in BER, but in PMI you have airbridge.
5. BA has airbridge on all 3 airports.

Great airline to travel on a budget, so many people complain about no frills but you know what you're getting.
