Say about the French what you will, but they have the balls to stand up if something isn't right.

I thought Ryanair's understanding of an airport just outside Paris was Belgium!

@ Herr-Berbunch

Ryanair, providing cattle transports since 1985!

The same happened in the summer at a flight from Rome till Weeze (Düsseldorf). 3 hours delay, start 5 minutes before midnight so the cheap arseclowns don't have to provide a hotel. In the air the passengers were informed that they land in Hahn (Frankfurt). One hour wait for a bus with a sleepy driver and no toilets. 5 hour ride till Weeze. One 0.5 litre bottle of water for each passenger, provided in Rome. No more drinks (hottest days of the year) no food. No excuses, no compensations till now, lawsuit still pending! **** Ryanair!

(didn't happen to me though, I would have plundered the stocks on the plane)

I've never heard a good word about Ryanair, and I have a good friend who's one of their pilots. Hmmm, was it him I wonder?

EasyJet do flights from about six Moroccan airports to either CDG or Orly, I'd use them over Why-in-air anyday!

The pilots are certainly the only competent folks who work for them.

EasyJet is a definitely good alternative, or AirBerlin. They treat their passengers at least a little like humans.

Ryanair even tries to shut down their critics, like this beautiful website: http://www.ihateryanair.org/ which provides dozens of other funny Ryanair stories. The official reason to shut them down was because they used their good name to earn the fortune of 322 pound with the page . Here's a link to the story: http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/...ite-shot-down/
