credit card slots on the doors???

"We are flying aircraft on an average flight time of one hour around Europe. What the hell do we need three toilets for?" (er - 2 or more people on the same flight with upset stomachs maybe? )

'Boeing's research department would now be able to work on the toilet concept because "war in Iraq and Afghanistan is winding down".'


People have got to stop using Ryanair however cheap they are

recently the priority boarding ones get into the bus on their own, which makes sense.
I reckon he doesn't do that because they want the stampede so that the plane fills up quickly and they stay on time. If you know you've got your own seat you are going to take your time in the shops like the olden days when you'd see people strolling into the plane after half an hour full of duty free bags.

Separate buses for the goats & sheep? That makes more sense.

Excellent point about the stampede DB (I have done that, though not with duty frees, just food, but we were paged & got some very dirty looks when we got on)

When they first brought out the priority boarding, you got it free if you checked in on line, so most of the pane was in the priority boarding queue and there was about 10 people in the plebs queue.

I totally brass necked it and walked up to the front of the queue with my 6 month old and said there had been a tannoy announcement about people who needed assistance and they let me through first .

It's not so bad now they charge everyone for priority boarding.

I just don't understand why they don't just charge for a seat number, I would quite happily pay £10 for an allocated seat.

Easyjet's system is so much better in that they do allow people with children or who need assistance to baord first. It's just common courtsey IMO which is why I hate Ryanair so much.

I think O'Leary has even gone as far as saying that he wants to disourage people with kids to use Ryanair. That seems mad to me because last time I flew with them my baby's fare was more than mine AND he didn't get a baggage allowance!!!

The problem is with expectations. You cannot fly Ryanair and expect the cabin crew to smile. Last time I flew with them they were shouting at me. I really don't mind. I don't want to pay £100 more for my ticket to get a smile from a flight attendant. I think Ryanair is for frequent flyers. People who are really used to flying and treat it as they would a train journey.

Disgusting. I won't fly with them. On principle.
