I realise I am probably tempting fate, however I have flown with Ryanair approx 12 times to France,
Fuerteventura, London and have never had any problems. One observation I have made is that without
exception all passenger problems I have witnessed are because people have not read their terms and
conditions. Stick to the rules only use carry on luggage and you can get a cheap flight. I have always found
the flight crew to be pleasant and usually it is the fellow passengers I am embarrassed about. Only criticism
I have is that recently the prices are not so competitive.

Gdansk-STN, 10 march 2013. 21.50 flight cancelled due to a severe snowstorm. Realising this and not really
trusting Ryanair I booked to fly back with Wizzair this morning on the 6am flight, paying about £100. As it
happened Ryanair provided us with a hotel, although I had to pay around 150 zloty (about £30) in taxi fares
to actually get to the hotel. But still it was something and worth it for the shower and 3 hours sleep I got as
a result. In addition Ryanair would have got me home on the flight today if I wanted to wait around. All in all
I was quite surprised as in this instance they did actually provide acceptable arrangements where a flight was
cancelled because of the weather.

Flew Eindhoven-Budapest return. Flew Ryanair Glasgow Prestwick-Paris Beauvais in 2008 and the experience
was average. This time not much had changed. I noticed we were flying on one of Ryanair's new fleet of
Boeings, which was quiet and modern, but the garish Ryanair livery and stony-faced staff reminded me I only
paid sixty euros for the round-trip. Constant tedious announcements are irritating, and legroom is very tight,
but there is nothing in Europe that gets close to their fares if you follow their rules.

Flight from Lanzarote to Bristol on 2/3 at 11.05 actually took off on 3/3 at around 10.00! We were told the
delay was due to 'weather' but no-one could understand this as all seemed well in Lanzarote. The customer
service at the airport was virtually non-existent and we were never told what was really happening or where
to go, etc. - just to wait for announcements. More info was coming from passengers getting messages via
their phones! At around 5.30, after queuing with luggage for around an hour, we were told to find ourselves
hotels and come back the next day at 07.00. Duly did this only to find the flight was actually at 09.50.
Actually flights were very good, and booked priority seats which were definitely worth having. My first and
last experience with Ryanair!

Oslo (Torp) to Liverpool. The plane I was due to fly on was delayed due to bird strike, resulting in a cracked
windscreen and no engineer on site to say if the plane was safe to fly or not. We waited hours before finding
that the flight was cancelled. Then ages to find out what was happening from the enquiry desk. We were
issued with a piece of paper saying basically "See you in the morning at 10 am." Cost me £20 x2 taxi and
£60 hotel bill. I know it wasn't their fault . I know it's unrealistic to expect compensation more than your
ticket price, but the customer service was dreadful, unhelpful and obstructive. I shan't use Ryanair again
unless there is no alternative. Having said that the Bus from Torp to Oslo was more than the flight!

LBA to Tenerife. Took off on time and landed 15 minutes early, returning it took off spot on time and landed
10 minutes early on 27th Feb. Stewards on the return flight were really good helping people get bags in the
overhead lockers. This is the first we have flown with Ryanair and providing you stick to the rules were
excellent. Will certainly use them again.

Just completed EMA-TFS return yet again with no problems and had had the usual entertainment watching the
late customers making an exhibition of themselves. Remember you get nothing for free not on Ryanair its all
been said before. One point that should be noted, they have now made the seats either side of the wing
extra leg room seats bookable, which allows youngsters to sit nearer their parents - don't sit in the forward
seat beyond this as you will find some young person kicking the back of your seat just a tip. In my opinion
value for money.

MRS-STN-MRS. Two excellent, cheap flights with Ryanair, on time and as per usual baggage delivered within
minutes. The crew were fine, especially on the return leg with a great purser. There were about 8 crew
members on the return flight, maybe some were training but they were professional. Usual inflight service
promoting various things but this is never too in your face. Seat is fine for a short haul flight but if the flight
is full finding space for carry on luggage can sometimes be tricky. Usual hard landings with 737-800. I just
wish people would check the rules and regulations before flying and then they want always be so surprised
when they realise they're carry on bag is too big etc and have to pay €50.

We fly regularly with Ryanair and I can't fault them. We have only had a 45 minute delay in possibly 12/20
trips with them. We fly mainly from our local airport, Leeds/Bradford. The only problem we have experienced
is a bad landing on the flight from Faro to Leeds Bradford. Our recent flight with them was Leeds/Bradford to
Tenerife and both ways were excellent flights. Landed early going and no delays either way. Their customer
services could be better.

Flight from Tenerife to Glasgow Prestwick on Friday 8 February was on time. The usual unprofessional
confusion as always be it at home or abroad. Boarding - firstly they never have the sign up so no one knows
where to 'rush' to - be it priority or not. Then paying for the emergency exit as we are taller than average
and need the extra room to make it possible to fly Ryanair. However, you can get these seats if they are not
all booked for free. Only one young man from the crew smiled the entire trip. Even the captain who spoke
only twice never mentioned that fact that for 5 hours nobody including young children and the elderly would
be fed or watered. Surely someone could have informed the passengers to buy food and drink before
boarding. The trumpet at the end just makes everyone laugh now. Arriving 5 minutes early on the particular
occasion was of no interest whatsoever. Incidentally there was very limited provisions on way out on this
flight also.

Excellent flight from Bristol to Alicante. We took off a few minutes late as it was snowing and the plane had
to be de-iced. There was a strong tailwind so we arrived on time. The flight crew were amazingly helpful and
friendly and there did not seem to be the usual hard sell during the flight. As I was travelling with an elderly
friend I took priority boarding for the first time which worked very well.

Flight from Barcelona to Porto. Normal rush for seats. First and last time with Ryanair. It was a short flight
but for tall people it's uncomfortable. Pay +20/30€ and fly a traditional carrier.

Travelled on a 5 hr flight from Tenerife on 08/02/2013. Following the usual scramble and uncomfortable seats
it was announced that there was no trolley for refreshments: no, not just alcohol, no fluids whatsoever or
snacks. Nice easy flight for cabin crew. However, what they did offer towards customer care were scratch
cards!

Our last flight using Ryanair was in August 2012 from East Midlands to Treviso, Italy return. I have also flown
several times London Stansted to Weeze, Germany, and East Midlands to Begerac, France. Once you get over
the whole off-putting mind set of this airline - very misleading website which is set up to catch you out with
lots of additional charges, opt out travel insurance, excessive credit card charges (even if you use a debit
card) etc. The service offered is OK, a modern fleet of Boeing 737-800 planes, with a usually punctual
service. Some of the smaller regional airports they use are a delight to travel from - unfortunately not Treviso
which was in our experience a shambles, on the check-in end. The staff often seem detached from their
passengers and are probably more concerned about achieving the tight turnarounds they are set.
Definitely not my airline of first choice, but I would be happy to use them, if the route offered was most
convenient at a good price.

LDY-LPL return and LDY-STN return Jan/Feb. Excellent flights on all 4 occasions recently with Ryanair.
Organised queuing and ground staff well-prepared for boarding. Flights extremely affordable and typically not
overpriced for the product. Staff friendly, efficient and welcoming on all occasions. Pilots very informative.
Crew very professional in dealing with customer queries onboard. All flights arrived well before scheduled
time (15-20 mins). Overall a very positive experience.

Stansted to Valencia. The plane left 45 mins late due to de-icing and all seemed to be going well until we
started to approach the runway when the plane started to be thrown about by strong winds. The pilot decided
it was unsafe to land and we were diverted to Murcia-San-Javier airport. The head air stewardess handed out
several sick bags to people requesting them and it became apparent that most passengers were Spanish but
not one of the 6 crew onboard could speak it. We waited 20 mins on the plane for airport to open and
another hour before convoy of 3 coaches took us to VAL Airport arriving 15.10.

London Stansted to Gdansk return. Great flight, as stated by many, make sure you read the small print and
minimal baggage. I enjoy the Ryanair experience, everything is aimed at cutting costs and getting the
aircraft back in the air, to that end I am happy to stand in a queue outside, have no seat pocket and get
on/off the aircraft as quick as possible. If it keeps the tickets cheap I am up for it. If I want relaxation,
pampering etc then I will go for a mainline carrier.

Last week, went to Rome, Italy from Ireland via Dublin Airport. I brought my luggage which fit tightly into
their so called 'standard' size bag cage, but staff wanted us to pay 50 euro and check in the baggage. Since
we were in a hurry I didn't care too much. On the return flight from Rome, staff once again stopped us from
boarding, I had no problem but my friend carrying a laptop and a backpack had no problem when boarding
from Dublin but he faced the same situation as me on the outbound and the staff required him to check in his
backpack and was charged 50 euro.

Return flight from Dublin to Malaga. Outbound, the seats were dirty and the tables dusty. They charge a high
price for baggage and you only get 10-15 kgs. In your ear is please take your seats and ads, children
screaming and its hard to relax. The way back from Malaga to Dublin, flight was fully booked and it was
horrible. I asked for food and it took 1 hour for it to arrive. I just got my food finished when they were saying
we were 30 minutes away. The flight was horrible and I hope I have to never have to fly with them again.

I fly Ryanair frequently, from London to Turku, Finland (good while it lasted), Tampere, Gdansk, and Dublin.
On the plus side there has never been a delay and as long as you study and understand the rules the tickets
are incredibly cheap. But on the minus side they seem to be the only airline to have a deliberate policy of
trying to turn flying in to a miserable experience. Everything from the race to get seats to the total lack of
comfort once you are in the seat to the endless barrage of tedious announcements turns flying in to a very
stressful, frustrating and unenjoyable experience. The basic fact of the matter is that I will continue to fly
Ryanair, but I don't understand why they can't become more customer friendly, like EasyJet or Wizzair.

Flight from Liverpool to Dublin, admittedly heavy snow so huge delays, deplaned 3 times from 2 different
planes left standing in cold holding areas. The total uselessness of Ryanair staff is shocking. The scam about
cabin luggage should be reported to Trading Standards. Airport check in staff get a cut from any extra they
can charge. Take about 15 flights never with Ryanair pay the extra and fly with a professional carrier.

I've flown with numerous low cost airlines so I thought how bad can it be. Well it's the only airline I've been
on that I'll never fly again! Customer service, mainly at the airports, is unbelievably shocking! We were told
our flight from Shannon to London had been delayed and 'may depart in 1 hour or up to 5 hours'! We
explained that we had a connecting flight from London on Ryanair (we'd allowed for several hours connecting
time) and were told we should allow at least 24 hours for connecting flights! The airport staff member was
downright obnoxious despite us being polite to her and trying not to hold up the line. Our next flight on
Ryanair had dirty seats with bubble gum stuck on the side. I've never encountered an airline that treats its
passengers with such contempt.

I travel regularly with Ryanair, currently 4-5 times a year and previously far more frequently. They do get
their flights out on time and over dozens of flights at all times of the year we have only suffered 2-3 delays
and then because of weather which is outside of their control. Cabin Service has improved noticeably in the
past 2-3 years compared with previously. It used to be truly awful - scowling, rude staff were the norm and I
stopped flying with them for this reason for a couple of years choosing another less convenient route to my
destination. However, these days whilst inconsistent, Cabin Staff are usually fine, and sometimes individuals
will be good in terms of manners, attitude etc and occasionally truly exemplary in their presentation, manners
and way of dealing with people. All the extra charges - annoying and sometimes unreasonable though they
are (boarding pass reprinting fee is extortionate for example), are at least displayed. Incessant changes to
booking terms and conditions resulting in surprise extra costs seem to have slowed down in recent times, but
that may be as much due to the fact they have run out of new things to change and charge for. Overall they
do what it says on the tin though are not always the cheapest particularly if booking in advance for a busy
period.

As I returned home from Gran Canaria to Edinburgh, I sat and watched a female employee, at the boarding
gate in Spain let 2 passengers through carrying 3 pieces of hand luggage - no charge. Also, all on priority
boarding were waved through even when you could see the bags were quite big - again no charge. Then came
the rest of the passengers - she picked on some and let others on, she stopped a man and the wheels were a
bit tight to get in the cage - 50 euros, but he used the same bag from Edinburgh with no charge. There was a
family of 2 adults and a young child with 4 bags, who were told to fold them in together they couldn't, so she
waved them on. I watched this in dismay and amusement, as this is discrimination for the people who have
followed the rules. They should make everybody drop it into the cage, fair is fair on everyone who wants to
bring extra onto the plane.

Had two trips recently: Stansted to Warsaw and Stansted to Madrid. Both went well and even though the
return flight left late and was packed, it made up time. Checking in in London was easy, Madrid a little more
basic. But it all worked and we had no gripes.

Flew to Gran Canaria on 26 December 2012 from East Midlands, could not fault them at all. I am a very
nervous flyer and one of the male stewards made me feel very comfortable, he was very attentive. I have
flown a lot with other well known companies but never been looked after as I was on that journey. I will
definitely fly them again.

Stansted to Carcassonne, 6 January. Left London on time on a quite full plane. A lot of fog leaving London
and much less as we arrived near Carcassonne. Strangely the pilot could not land although the clouds were
nowhere near as thick as in London. Flew around Carcassonne for quite some time trying to land, then turned
towards Perpignan. Reply from Carcassonne airport: all Ryanair planes are now equipped with automatic
pilots which cannot be switched off in airports like ours where there is no automatic pilot detector system. So
if the weather is not perfect, planes just hover around hoping to be able to land! This seems ridiculous. I
shall not use Carcassonne again unless no other alternative.

My trip to Barcelona was spoilt when we travelled back by Ryanair. We followed the guidelines and the
weight was 10kg with handbag as required and when we checked in no one checked this. Handbags were in
the cases at that time. Went through security and took handbag out as needed passport and boarding pass
and later money. Again no one checked. Purchased a few items from duty free and lined up at the boarding
gate in good time. Staff checked the passport etc and marked the boarding pass. Then at the last minute
before boarding they tell us that the bag is too big and wanted 50 euros. The bag slid nicely in to their box
but as the handbag was out she said we had to pay 50 euros. We did not have any euros and they would not
take pounds. Offered to pay by credit card but they would not take this. In the end they let us go without
payment but it has left a very bitter taste. There were other people with bigger bags and they were not
stopped. We will never travel with them in the future.

Went Stansted to Corfu, 01/11/2012, returned 05/11/2012. Could not fault them. Had my elderly mother with
me and they could not have been more helpful. We were hand luggage only and had no problems with our
cases. They didn't weigh them or measure them. Seat room was good, much better than Monarch who I flew
with the previous week. Was apprehensive having read reviews but could not fault Ryanair.

Have flown many times usually to the Canary Islands from EMA or BHX. We have never had a problem with
them at all, always been on time and always felt safe with them. However, from the moment they take off
to the moment they land they try and sell you anything and everything.

Will never fly Ryanair again. Our printed itinerary blatantly said we had paid for 1 suitcase for our outward
then return journey (East Midlands - Krakow - East Midlands) at a rip off £25 each way, but because 'it didn't
show on their system' we had to pay another £100 or lose it! After being made to wait at least 30 minutes, a
Manager finally came out and agreed we had paid, but there was nothing she could do? When asked if we
would get our money back off Ryanair, she just shrugged. So many people were complaining in the queue and
to charge 3 euros for a cup of tea, no wonder no-one was buying anything. The air hostess was rude and
aggressive - snatching money out of people's hands and barking orders at passengers - manners cost
nothing? We fly regularly and use lots of different budget carriers from around the world and this was by far
the worst airline!

After hearing all the terrible reviews on this airline I only booked it out of necessity, however, I was
impressed that the flight left on time as advertised, aircraft itself was clean, pleasant cabin crew. If people
try to test the rules on baggage and beat the system and moan when they get caught out I don't know what
they expect if they get caught out. I never booked this flight expecting a 5 star red carpet treatment, I just
wanted to get home. I paid £90 for my ticket last minute, which was cheaper than Monarch. Just treat it as a
cheap "no frills" means to an end service. I would happily fly them in future.

London Stansted to Maastricht, 30 Dec. Due to fly 7.30am, at 7.40am announcement to say we need new
aircraft. Began boarding 7.50am. Lack of communication from ground staff could so easily be corrected. When
we checked screens for baggage sent to wrong desk. Were looked after by polite and friendly check in staff,
but when we went to the right desk - the staff member was rude. Lack of consistency and communication
make for a much less pleasant journey. £167 for flights.

23rd December, 2 Ryanair flights, one from Mahon to Barcelona and the other Barcelona to Liverpool. Both
flights surprised me as reading some other reviews before I was prepared for all sorts of drama. They didn't
weigh or measure my bag, stewards were friendly said hello and bye and the flights were comfy! Lets hope it
is as smooth on the way back to Mahon as it was going. 9/10 ! Ryanair isn't that bad or maybe I just got
lucky.

As I said in my Nov review, I was interested to see if the recent improvements in the Ryanair flight
experience would carry on into the busy Xmas period. Well, I've just completed Girona to Luton return during
the festive season, and I'm pleased to report that things do really seem to be looking up. The boarding
process in GRO was fine with no unnecessary bag sizing done. The flight itself was uneventful. No flight from
Luton is ever going to be a luxury experience, but bag check in was reasonably quick, and, despite a full
flight, there was no hand baggage hassle at all. The boarding process was excellent and only spoilt by a
tiresome group of 18 travellers who turned up late and then wasted a load of time demanding to be sat
together. But, in any event arrival in GRO was on time, and the in flight service was prompt and, (by FR's
standard!) unobtrusive. It does seem that the penny is finally beginning to drop that antagonising customers
is not a terribly smart idea.

Yesterday I flew from London Stansted to Katowice. The whole experience was terrible. It started at the
check in gate, although my carry-on luggage meets the Ryanair regulation, the lady at the boarding gate
made me do the 'cage test'. One day prior my trip to Katowice, I had flown to London from Canada with the
same suitcase. I placed the suitcase in and pushed it down half way, unfortunately, this was not enough for
her she made me push it all the way. After some of the other passengers helped me fish the bag out, I
boarded the plane. Until this point there no greeting from any of the flight attendants. They don't bother to
help you with anything, they will go after you if you keep you coat on your laps instead of the overhead
compartment. Since, I was traveling before Christmas the flight was not cheap. I paid over £360. Overall, my
experience was very unpleasant, and I'd never use this airline in the future.
