About this blog
Many people have been badly treated by Ryanair and shafted for hidden fees etc. We have too. This is why we decided to set up this website as means of expressing our general disgust. Everything you read can be counted as our opinion only and of course the opinions of the people that visit this website.
Read the second to last paragrah in this news article…I haven’t seen anything about this on the blog so far…
Ryanair has now been banned from charging on credit or debit cards in germany!!!

See today’s (2nd August) http://www.bitterwallet.com for Ryanair’s excellent new tailfin logo!
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the heads-up, we did however run a story on this back in December last year: http://www.ihateryanair.co.uk/ryanair-announce-new-logo-to-better-reflect-company-values/

Oh I didn’t see that! Well the same bitterwallet.com blog are running the “Ryanair plane stuck at Prestwick” story today (6th August), complete with video. Enjoy!
I can’t seem to find any information online, but perhaps you have some idea – what exactly are the ‘children’s charities’ that proceeds (and what percentage?) from ryanair’s scratch cards go to? Just finished a round trip on ryanair and the constant hawking of merchandise seems to have reached its height. We were implored by, I think, the captain, to ‘open your hearts and open your wallets’, was really distasteful..
We returned from Treviso by Ryanair on Tuesday, and the whole experience of check-in and queuing was degrading. There were far too few staff to deal with the number of passengers. We will never travel by Ryanair again if we can possibly help it. It was all far too stressful.
What a load of shit this website is.
We have just flown to Tenerife with Ryanair with no problems at all.
The only people i heard moan, where the ones who do not read the rules.
One chap moaning about his 15kg baggage limit, i asked if he had read the rules…no he replied!!!
If you read the rules, ir does everything it says on the tin.
I bet you don’t print this on your site
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your comments and well done for being successful in travelling with Ryanair without being caught out by one of their many rules. You must be pretty pleased with yourself? Could you provide us with a step by step walk through of your experience for us to write a story? Do you have any photos?
If you read our comments throughout this website you will see that we already agree with what you state regarding rules. If you read all the small print and abide 100% with every single rule, take out a Ryanair Pre-Paid Mastercard, don’t check in a bag (or a violin for that matter), follow all their procedures to the letter, you will usually be OK and get a cheap flight that arrives generally on time at an airport that is sometimes less than 100km from where you want to get to.
The problem is that the rules and policies are not as clear as they could be and for many people who are travelling with Ryanair for the first time, they can easily be missed or misunderstood and result in a hefty fee/fine. Everything Ryanair do is non-standard, so it’s very easy to get caught out by baggage limits etc.
We are looking into coming up with a set of annual awards to praise amazing people like you. The ‘look at me aren’t I clever’ brigade who love to pontificate about how they followed the instructions and got what it says on the tin whilst sneering at the unfortunate many who are being ripped off by this crap hole of an airline.
You are welcome to your opinion Paul, but as far as we are concerned, we couldn’t give a toss.
Regards,
IHR
