"return to Luton was delayed 4 1/4 hours"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Luton to Faro and return Faro to Luton 10 days later. I try not to fly Ryanair, but in this case they flew to the Airport nearest to my accommodation, and at a reasonable (no low cost!) price. Outward flight uneventful - usual cramped and hard seats but at least the third seat unoccupied so some movement possible. No food or drink or scratchcards purchased. The return to Luton was delayed 4 1/4 hours. To Ryanair's credit, we were kept informed by emails at regular intervals - the delay was, apparently, caused by fog or weather of some sort (presumably at Luton). Just as well as no Ryanair support anywhere. So, of course, as it's weather, we aren't entitled to any compensation. Then we get an email saying compensation claims under EU261 must be made via their online form - can't be weather, then. We board, and the Captain advises that it was a mechanical fault, and we were in a replacement plane flown from Dublin. So on our return we completed the Ryanair online EU261 claim form, and sent it off. We await a response but are promised one within 7 working days. We shall see. Will I fly Ryanair again? Only if I absolutely can't fly with anyone else.

"Very bad airline"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Very bad airline. I spent 100 pounds check in because I couldn’t check in online. Another 70 pounds to check in luggage. However, I don’t have time to board the plane in 20 mins because I had to go through a long line of security. In the end, the flight gate was closed, I missed my flight. No money is refunded at all. Not recommended to non European traveller who doesn’t know their policies. And it turned out the flight wasn’t cheap at all.

"flights were hardly fun"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | When things go wrong with low-cost carriers, it can be awful. But I think it is worth saying how well things go most of the time. My return flights from London to Sofia last week cost £62.07, including charges for seats up front, but not priority boarding. The planes were clean and pretty much on time. Not surprisingly, the aircraft were packed, and the flights were hardly fun. But they were less unpleasant than I remember from years ago with Ryanair, when noisy bugle calls and admonitions to buy lottery tickets were among the distractions. If Ryanair would only start selling Champagne on board alongside the Prosecco, I'd be almost happy.

“didn't treat my case seriously”

(Poland)

Not Verified | I contacted Ryanair before my planned flight. The reason I am trying to contact the airline is that because of unforseen circumstance and sudden surgery I am not able to fly as planned and was urgently transported to Poland. The Ryanair form has the option of refund in case of illness and my illness is also mentioned on the form options but after a long time of contact with Ryanair and explanations and sending the same requests via live chat, emails and form (which eventually didn't work) I managed to get the response from English customer service with the information that I am not eligible to get a refund. I bought a ticket with checked in luggage. I informed the airline immediately but customer service didn't treat my case seriously and it took about a month to get in touch with somebody. Only today when I contacted live chat again I learnt from the consultant that my case is being verified again but the lady said it will be probably negative. In the airline policy it's clearly mentioned that the refund is applicable in certain situations like serious illness and the need of surgery. I sent all the details and doctor opinions and I was informed I can pay a penalty and reschedule a flight for 45 euros. It was not explained why I am not eligible to get a refund despite the fact that the Ryanair's policy is clear. It seems that the Ryanair's policy is not applicable in the same way to all the clients and there's no explanation and contact from the site of the customer service unless you constantly keep trying to ask and send messages. The live chat is also very limited and the consultants say they have no information in this matter. A very bad experience I don't recommend flying with this airline.

“communication was virtually nonexistent”

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Dear Fellow Travelers, I feel compelled to share my recent experience with Ryanair to alert fellow passengers about the challenges they might face. Please consider this a word of caution before booking with this airline. On December 2nd, 2023, I was scheduled to fly from Oslo Torp to London Stansted on Ryanair flight RK33. However, what followed was an unexpected and frustrating 5-hour delay. Throughout this ordeal, communication from Ryanair was virtually nonexistent. Passengers were left stranded, confused, and desperately seeking information. Despite my repeated attempts to seek compensation in accordance with EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, which clearly outlines passenger rights in such scenarios, Ryanair was dismissive of my concerns. Their responses were generic, devoid of empathy, and offered no meaningful resolution. It's worth noting that Ryanair also insisted on compensating passengers for food and drinks purchased during the delay. However, it's important to highlight that the options available at the airport were severely limited. Hot food or drinks were simply not accessible, leaving passengers with no viable alternatives other than a vending machine. I share this experience not out of spite but as a plea for better treatment of passengers by airlines like Ryanair. As travelers, we deserve transparency, accountability, and respect. I encourage you to weigh your options carefully before booking with Ryanair and to share your own experiences to help others make informed decisions. Let's advocate for better service standards together. Warm regards.

"bang on time and smooth flights"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Flew back from Faro to London Luton Friday 2nd February. Ryanair in both directions was bang on time and smooth flights in both directions. We always sit in Front for more space and this was very comfortable for just under a 3 hour flight. The cabin crew were polite and efficient with nice sense of humour especially and engagement especially Ethan and his female colleague at the front section. For their human touch [unlike sometimes the stand offish BA crews] merit a 10/10 marking

“Really impressed!”

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Really impressed! You get what you pay for, this flight only cost £19.99. The seats were soft, and there was tons of legroom! (not in an emergency exit) The cabin was spotless. The colours were a little bright but it was good. Cheap and no frills! Highly recommend, flies almost everywhere,

“a decent offering from Ryanair”

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I should like to review my flight from Faro to Liverpool with Ryanair. I booked the seat with Ryanair several months before my planned travel and found the website clear and easy to use. Ryanair sent quite frequent emails relating to the flight and attempted to sell me extras. The check-in procedure was followed by a bag-drop at Faro Airport. This was not efficient and the app they recommended for speedy bag-drop did not work. Setting that aside, I was able to check-in my bag within less than 30 minutes of having arrived at the airport. Boarding was supposedly via group but this did not materialise at all. The cabin crew had a reasonable presence and delivered a serious safety procedure. During the flight the crew worked hard and had several rounds of drinks for sale. I found the seat suitable for a flight just under 3 hours. The flight departed on-time and arrived on schedule too. Disembarkation was delayed in Liverpool while this was not the fault of Ryanair, there was no communication with the passengers as to why this was the case. Disembarkation was not orderly and was poorly managed. Overall, a decent offering from Ryanair.

“cabin crew were welcoming and friendly”

(Israel)

Trip Verified | Flight left the gate ahead of schedule, fare was really cheap and cabin crew were welcoming and friendly. Flight was so much cheaper than Aer Lingus and flying with Ryanair is a much better experience.
