RE: British Airways Joins the Budget Airlines in Locking Seats. Should It Stop There?
Ryanair are an Irish budget airline and to be fair to them they run a very good service. The price is real without catches which suits people travelling simply but anything else is extra. I have often traveled into Europe with them for less than €20 just taking hand luggage and never had an issue.
On the other issue just having a bit of consideration for other people in general will take you a long way in life. Just try not to be a dickhead in general and people will respond in kind.
Ryanair is a very good one. Good custormer service and their prices are very good without hidden charges. But aviation is doing better in europe and asia than most part of the world presently.
Ryanair does a decent job for the price. They were one of the first true budget carriers and know their business. Yes, treating people well goes a long way.
I fly with them regularly myself and have no complaints, the fare gets your backside in a seat...that's it. Everything else is extra, for short flights it's a better system really, with the other airlines you pay whether you use the extras or not.
They are also very reliable, their whole business model is based on getting as many people on the move as possible with low per passenger profit margins. They are the fifth largest airline in the world by passenger numbers, so I guess that works. If any airline will get you on the ground on time it's Ryanair. I've been standing at the gate in Amsterdam, boarding pass scanned, 25 mins before departure time...waiting on the plane to arrive...and taken off on time.
Lots of people like to give out about them but personally i have flown with them 30ish times and never had one problem. On time and delivered on their service. It was great when they came first as it created a lot of competition in a market that needed it.
Ryan air is awful they don’t bother wifh your hand luggage till 5 mins before getting on the plane so they can try to put it on hold and charge £50 for it and tell you you don’t have time to move things round and repack it cause the planes leaving. The amount of arguments I’ve had with Ryan air about hand luggage but have always won.... so far. Last time it was cause the over head was full despite me always being 3 hours early for flying (fomo) and they wanted to put it on the hold. I carry my photography equipment which can no way go on hold had to pretend to cry on them and they sorted oht a seat for my luggage but it’s always always a hassle with Ryan air.
