Ryanair

Used to be suspicious of Easyjet too but having flown on them a few times they appear luxurious when compared to Ryanair.

Flew them a couple of times and as Tribe sais...you get what you expect and that's just your basic A to B trip.

Can't really complain as that's what I pretty much need anyway.

It's not about luxury standards. It is about security. And in air transportation, security means survival - or not.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome on board this Ryanair flight.

In the event of a sudden drop in cabin pressure, masks will drop down from above you. Please insert 5 Euros for oxygen.

No masks no more. They were removed - weight reductions. Hold your breath instead.

Yet you manage to do some three headline examples where they did have the required legal allocation of fuel to hold then divert then hold at the diverted airport(so thats a non-story) and you have a maintainance issue where the backup failed which the German investigation said was down to a bad design by Boeing and it is Boeing that needs to redesign its parts.
So its low cost Boeing that is the problem yes?

Now remind me again, what is the reason why you never travel by aircraft?

His local airport only do flights, with Ryanair, to your nearest airport. I don't think he'd get the warmest reception.

Easyjet tend to be OK. I've had a few flights with them that have been delayed without any explanation - but I think this seems to be par for the course for with many airlines these days. Charges wise, there have been more than a couple of occasions that we've gone with BA over Easyjet because the cost difference was negligible for a far better flight experience.

Having said that, our last flight with BA was a pretty horrible experience but that was less to do with the actual flight than with the people on the ground being absolutely useless.

I will never ever fly with Ryanair again, though. All three occasions I've had to fly with them have been nasty.
