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.

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

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.

I personally believe that there is a "crisis" if you need to Ryanair,

It seems that nowadays all businesses need to keep cutting costs in order to survived and budget airlines already have little fat they can trim. It's almost inevitable they will start skimping on maintenance too.

A crisis really?
Your right!
The less wealthy or budget minded should never have an option. I am glad we are all swimming in dough!


America has a simlar airline called Jet Blue, who has alot of news stories written about them. But Newark Liberty to Miami for 178$ is fair. And considering they got me there and back, with all my possessions in my suitcase still, am am satisfied.

They like to nickle and dime too, but I can go 4 hours without stuffing my face, nor do I need excessive baggage.

I can give you a pass as your comparison of budget airlines is to European carriers. American carriers are vastly inferior, with our laws of having to asskiss the "stews" or else be charged with a federal crime, it gives our "flight queens" carte blanch to be rude.

I can tolerate the rudeness if I am paying 150$ less.

Plus not everyone is as wealthy as others, but still would like to do things too. Even the proles, and lesser men like to travel. Budget airlines fill a need.
