Ryanair is getting a bit of a bashing on MN atm. They recently changed their baggage policy but it is totally fair. Yes, there are plenty of added extras and the price you pay is not that advertised. This is the same for all low cost airlines though and I find them to be consistently cheaper and consistently no nonsense good value
I feel sorry for the folk stung last year but this is not about that and the majority of people get a decent service for the money paid
I use them 3-4 times a year and never had a problem.
Go Ryanair. If you don't like them, vote with your feet. Don't use them and then bellyache how you get ripped off because you do not. Their website is easy to use and totally clear.
