Never again will I fly Ryanair. They SUCK big time. Their website SUCKS. Their hidden charges SUCK. Their whole operation SUCKS.

Comment on Poll - Does the “angry” Ryanair scratchcard winner actually exist? by Eugene

Given the likely effects that flying Ryanair would have on passengers, supporting “an anger management charity” and “a mental health charity” would seem entirely appropriate.

This assumes, of course, that this whole thing isn’t the usual attempt to get free publicity with outrageous news stories, which is certainly what it sounds like to me!

Comment on Poison-pill shareholders Ryanair blocking investment in Aer Lingus by Han Maenen

Han Maenen — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:25:09 +0000

I flew to Ireland on February 20 and returned on February 28 on Aer Lingus. Als always, pleasant flights with friendly cabin crrew, a 75-minute delay on the way home was caused by high winds at Amsterdam. I had only a small trolly which I did not check in. On the way back I saw Aer Lingus and Ryanair cabin baggage racks. I wanted to know whether my trolly would fit in both. It fitted easily in the Aer Lingus rack, but got stuck in the Ryanair one. As some flights were full, at the gate Aer Lingus tagged surplus bags and checked them in for free. With the other arline it would have been more than likely this: “Get your wallets out! Credit cards accepted!”.

Comment on Survey reveals skiiers avoid Ryanair like the plague by Han Maenen

Last September Ryanair was bragging on its website about its guaranteed low ski fares and no fuel surcharges. Ryanair was “Europe’s favourite ski airline”, leading the way to the slopes. Of course, they hid the booby traps (high baggage and sports equipment charges) they use for any skier who commits the grievous error of booking with Ryanair.

Comment on Avoid Ryanair booking charges with pre paid mastercard by FairFx by Bernard Winchester

Supplementary: I tried another booking with the FairFx euro prepaid mastercard and this time was NOT made to pay the administration charge. I suspect that on the previous occasions my form-filling program had changed the “prepaid mastercard” entry to a simple “mastercard”; it shows how careful you have to be!

I have acquired FairFx sterling and euro prepaid mastercards this week specifically for use with Ryanair and have just tried them both. Sad to say, although no charge is shown when “prepaid mastercard” is selected, after the purchase has been made, I found that the administration charge had been levied in both cases. Sorry! I will query it.

Comment on Ryanair - children’s passport requirements by Lola

Lola — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:06:31 +0000

Ordinarily, I would say I had little sympathy for someone who hadn’t read the T&C properly.

But, in this case I agree, that something as inane as needing a passport to travel on an internal flight should be flagged much more obviously.

And the ‘helpline’ attitude sounds absolutely appalling.

Vote with your feet and don’t give them your business again - no matter how cheap their tickets.

If people were a bit more discerning, they’d go about of business pretty quick, and we wouldn’t have to put up with dross like this.

Comment on Yup - I hate Ryanair by Eric lane

Boy, am I glad that I checked this barrel of shit out before I booked a flight. My friend warned me about them and at the time I wondered what all the fuss was about - now I know! I will never use them.
