The taxi was able to pull directly up to terminal 1 Ryanair and simple entry into the baggage weighing area which was not busy but confusing. The bags can only be weighed three hours before departure and then you manually scan your bags into the conveyor belt without a human present to assist. Luckily, I was able to bypass and go through one of the two human reps in the 40 minute or less lane, who allowed me to place my bags onto the conveyor and she tagged them - probably since I'm old. There are a few Ryanair staff members walking around to answer common questions. The luggage area is clean from debris and garbage bins nearby in addition to bathrooms. Basically, dont arrive early.

Ryanair is truly one of the world's most efficient low-cost airlines, when using Ryanair, you know what you're going to get - you're not going to get the fanciest plane with the best features, the fanciest Airport or Terminal within the Airport, but they keep their costs down so they can pass it onto the customer, which makes travel affordable. Being from Manchester and loving a city break across Europe, I pretty much can't escape from Ryanair due to the number of flights and destinations they serve from Manchester - the flight times are usually pretty good, too. I often fly through Ryanair, not by choice, but because they have the best flight times, and the value is the bonus. The website and app are easy to use, and I feel informed through notifications and emails when my flight is delayed, on a recent trip to Barcelona, I was informed of air traffic control issues which could cause a delay to my flight ahead of time. Ryanair does manage to keep costs down by numerous factors - they pretty much have passengers leaving the plane as they get the new customers on, so there isn't always time to clean the plane thoroughly. I did have an issue on a flight to Italy, where the floor was filthy from the passenger before me eating, but it was just like travelling on a bus, it isn't going to be squeaky clean all the time. Flights are generally on-time, though, as Ryanair are efficient and doesn't want to pay anything extra - such as the fees associated with being on the ground for too long. They even use the same model of plane throughout to benefit from purchasing economies, etc. Ryanair also tends to use Airports slightly further out from the city centre or perhaps worse/cheaper terminals within Airports - this is the worst part about flying with Ryanair for me as I hate Terminal 3 at Manchester Airport, as it isn't fit for purpose and has been left behind in the Airports multi-billion pound renovation project. I've also had issues in Milan and Lisbon with the airport Terminal not being up to standard compared to the rest of the airport or alternatives - lack of facilities and cramped/messy queuing have been the main issues which come up. Due to Ryanair being so cheap - you pretty much have to pay for any extras, and their hand baggage allowance does seem slightly less generous compared to other airlines. I recently booked a flight to Porto, and I found it funny that it cost more for my 20 kg hold bag than my actual ticket - maybe I should have bought my bag a seat! In terms of the in-flight experience, the seat is no less comfortable than on other low-cost airlines, and there is no WiFi or USB charging - again, a bit annoying, but it's a low-cost airline. If you're going to travel with Ryanair, expect the bare minimum, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The staff are generally friendly, and for the price, it's hard to complain. 4*

The baggage policy seems to be lessening in its strict guidelines. The airline ran on a timely schedule during our flights to Greece, Italy and Spain.

Waited in full bus for 1 hour.They tried to pack the whole flight on to 2 buses while we had to wait in the first one surrounded by billions

Every flight so far delayed and one with no estimated departure time for over hour after listed take off. Staff not rude, staff hostile. It was a cheap flight so if single or no kids, would likely fly here again, but flying with three kids so this is nightmare. Staff had zero patience for customers, taking no consideration for frustration in delays. Once on board staff much better, so due to low cost and friendly flight staff will rate 2. read more

This airline has cheap fares - but nothing else. We took the flight to Nice France on June 10 and returned June 17. The cabin was chaos and the flight attendants had no control over it. Children ran screaming up and down the aisles - nor exaggerating here - we counted - 2 kids screamed and ran past our seats over 30 times each. The attendants had said for people to sit with the seat belts fastened - the kids kept running and screaming - 2 kids refused to sit, the flight attendants said nothing. When they announced we were preparing for arrival - the guy in front of us and 2 behind us got up and started pulling their luggage out of the bin - setting it in the aisle and we were not yet on the ground. Absolute chaos. read more

Print your boarding pass and don't over pack! Incredibly easy instructions for incredibly affordable flights. Also, regardless of what airline you choose to fly, research what airport you're actually flying into! Don't blame Ryanair for your inability to follow instructions. In closing, I find the on board selection of snack and beverage choices to be quite superb! I highly recommend Ryanair. read more

I'd avoid them at all costs. The sticker price might be cheap, but they will find a way to rip you off. Their online check-in screws up? That's a 50 euro charge to you. Your bag is 10.7 kg instead of 10? That's a 35 euro charge, or 50. It's a pretty shit airlines, the customer service blows, and they charge you for water on the plane. Hell, they charge you for everything they can. Also, they never run on time, as the only important thing to them is filling every plane to 100% capacity. read more

First time flying Ryan Air and probably won't be back. I paid extra and upgraded our tickets for preferred boarding and seat selection. Well, their idea of preferred or early boarding is to be the first customers to be allowed onto a bus which gets jammed like sardines in a can. Then everyone gets to board the plane at the same time. They should be more specific that they are only selling first access to an overcrowded bus, not to the airplane. Then, to make it even worse they drove the bus to the plane and then kept all of us in a non airconditioned bus packed to the gills in the baking Spanish sun. I was very nearly ready to break a window to escape the pending heat exhaustion. Never, ever seen such poor consideration for the customers baking in the bus. read more

Think very carefully before you fly anywhere with Ryanair. The airline does offer low fares, but they also work very, very hard to find ways to chisel additional money out of you. Don't travel Ryanair if you plan to check bags (it'll cost you a LOT). Don't expect to be treated like anything but a piece of cargo. I will never set foot on a Ryanair plane again. read more

cheap, (arrgh me back is broke!) hideous upright plastic seats. cheap, no you are not getting any water, even thought your child is ill or your elderly mother needs some to take her medication. cheap but don't expect to get on first with kids, or be allowed to carry your precious passports or spending money in your handbag, they have to go in your single piece of tiny luggage which you will then be terrified of taking your eyes off. no, no, no, you are not gettting rest on this 6.20am flight, we don't care if you have been up since 4am we are going to sell sell sell, stick menu cards, magazines, scratch cards in your face and wake you up to ask you if you want anything! yes i would say; some peace and quiet! i don't know why i still occasionally travel with them, maybe i have a short memory?! i have been sent to dublin,with my luggage to liverpool, diverted to shannon because of weather and then told if you leave the plane you are liable for your own travel home to dublin which is where your ticket said you were going to in the first place! and i have also been put on a plane destined for brussels instead of home from london, they even looked at my ticket and it wasn't until they announced their destination that i realised the(ir) mistake. read more

I have flown with them twice, and it was two times too many, especially considering the journey to some out of the way airport. I will never again get sucked in by cheap tickets only to have to deal with atrocious service and hour long queues before the plane even shows up. Never mind the baggage restrictions and that they raised the infant rate. And the tight seating. And adverts all over everything. To quote a friend of mine, "Hell on earth. The end." Did you know that you can't change your flight to a later one online? And that if you call they will tell you to call the ticket agents at the airport, and that the airport will tell you that's impossible and to call Ryanair again? I do. Then when you get someone on the phone they will tell you it is "no problem" to switch your flight--they even asked their manager and you will receive a new confirmation within an hour. It will never come, nor will a courtesy email. So, call again! Ask WTH is going on because you have to check out of your hotel in like 7 minutes. At this point they will say No ticket for you! Why? Because Eff you, that's why! Buy a new one full price! Bwahahahaha. Oh, but here's a fax number to ask for a refund. Throw the number away, because it's not 1996 and who the hell sends faxes that will ultimately be ignored anyway? Click. Buy new ticket. Go home in something of a rage. Look up airlines that leave from much more convenient airport and...what's this? Aer Lingus is pretty cheap too, and the infant rate is 10 euro less..........book an impulse trip to Dublin. Team Aer Lingus! read more

Their online check-in kept giving my girlfriend and I errors every time we tried logging in to complete check-in. We figured we'd just do it at the airport because the site said we can check in with them up to 40 minutes before departure. Upon arriving to the airport, they wanted £55 each to complete check-in! The rude customer service representative in Stansted informed us that it states so in their "Terms and Conditions" but it isn't clearly stated on their site. Their site makes it sound as if it's a convenience while conveniently forgetting to mention the £55 charge. This is the last Ryanair flight I'll ever take. I'd rather pay more money to make sure they don't get my business. read more

Ryanair gets you where you need to be. And for that I'll give them 3 stars. Sure, I prefer EasyJet, and I probably won't book as many Ryanair flights next time I go to Europe. But since I had multiple flights to a lot of countries, Ryanair saved me some money. Somethings to note: *DO NOT sit in the back row if you are prone to motion sickness. Unfortunately I had to sit back there and felt nauseated because it was so bumpy. *If you sit in a aisle seat be prepared to be bumped by people walking by. *The cabin usually has way too many carry on luggage (due to the high baggage fees) and I witnessed the flight attendants stuffing multiple pieces of luggage in the galleys and lavatories. =/ *The flight is usually really noisy. Don't expect to sleep. *Seats are UNCOMFORTABLE. You can't lean back. *I'd eat and go to the bathroom before boarding the plane. *Yes, the carry on restrictions sucked. My bf and I packed everything into one heavy bag and checked that in, rather then checking in one bag for each of us. That is how we saved a bit on the carry on fees. *Think about the final destination in the country you find to, because Ryanair flies to smaller airports. So you need to add the cost of transportation to you final destination. *PRINT OUT your boarding pass before arriving at the airport! Don't forget! *In my experience, the flights left and arrived on time. If you are flying to one or two countries, take EasyJet. You pay a little bit more, but the experience is overall better. Take Ryanair only if you don't care about anything other then getting where you need to be. Because as cheap as it is, you definitely get what you pay for. read more

Ever heard of "You get what you pay for'? Well, that's not the case with Ryanair, because at the end, you end up paying the cost of a business class ticket, just to fly like cattle and get treated like s**t with this crummy airline... BEWARE!! That's the best advice I can give you if you are even thinking of flying with Ryanair. Ryanair's biggest money maker is not selling airfare. (You would think that an AIRLINE would make most of its money selling plane tickets. Right?). Ryanair's biggest money maker is PRINTING BOARDING PASSES! Yes! You've read it correctly! When you buy the ticket online, you better print out the boarding pass the1st chance you get! Know why? Because if you get to the ticketing counter without a pre-printed boarding pass, Ryanair will charge you 70 EUROS! Yes, That's $100 USD to print out a boarding pass! If you've ever flown with any other airline in the world, it probably happened to you more than once that you were in a rush, or forgot to print out your boarding pass at home or at the hotel before coming to the airport. So, what happens then? You stand inline, get to the ticketing counter, show your ID or passport, they check your luggage and give you your boarding pass. Well well my friends, with Ryanair, expect to pay 70 EUROS for that "Service" which every other airline on the planet provides for free. And no, you can't pay the 70 EUROS right there, you'll have to go to the cashier, stand inline over there (line that is all full of people who are in the same situation you're in) pay up the 70 EUROS, and then go back and stand in line again to the ticketing counter, give them the receipt showing that you paid the 70 EURO RANSOM that they just bamboozled out of you so that they could give you your freakin' boarding pass... Now here's how they get you, when you buy your ticket online, it says in the fine print that if you dare to show up to the ticketing counter without a pre-printed boarding pass, you will be charged a fee. They don't tell you that that fee is 70 EUROS!! Of course, no one in their right mind would even imagine that they'll get charged a fee for printing out a boarding pass, I mean you've flown before right? Ever got charged for printing a boarding pass? I haven't! Ryanair does not e-mail you the boarding pass so you could print it at any time, or god forbid have it on your smartphone (like any other airline in the world does). With Ryanair, the boarding pass can be printed only from their website and only 24 hours to 4 hours BEFORE your flight! If you try to print out your boarding pass 3 Hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds before your flight, guess what!? You can't! You're locked out of that option, meaning that you'll have to pay the 70 EURO RANSOM when you get to the airport... Luckily, we flew with no luggage so we did not have to go through the other nightmare which is the ridiculous amounts they charge for every extra ounce you carry on board or want to check in, but just standing in line at the ticketing counter and hearing all of the people screaming and cursing and the tellers, you knew that it's not because they just got upgraded to 1st class, rather because they just got shafted even harder by Ryanair... So now we board the plane... Let me tell you, a crappier plane you won't find even in a 3rd world country... The seats don't recline, the seats are covered with the lowest grade pleather on the planet. As if so it will be possible to hose the interior of plane down once the cattle has exited... The whole plane's inside is covered with adds, like a city bus. Throughout the ENTIRE flight, they try to sell you crap like alcohol, food, (if you can even call it food), and even electronic cigarettes!! Every 5 minutes a crew member comes around trying to hock something... "Remember, this is a non smoking flight. However, if you would like to smoke we do offer these electronics cigarettes!" I swear to god, this is the announcement on the PA as they are trying to sell you the electronic cigarettes... So yeah, you thought you're paying 60 Euros for cheap airfare, but after you've added the 70 Euros for the freakin' boarding pass, and the 200 Euros you got charged for your luggage, you could have used this money and flown with another (way better) airline with ZERO aggravation! I mean, who doesn't want some aggravation when they go on vacation? I would never ever ever use this airline again, and would do everything in my power to spread the word so (hopefully) less and less people use them. read more

the worst airline ever. my first time and i promise the last time as well. they didn't let me know the airport check in fee at the time of booking, a fee i've never ever heard of from any other airlines on this planet - i fly on average once every other weeks btw. i was actually trying to print the boarding pass online in advance without knowing there is a fee by not doing that. however unfortunately, because i was an international traveler, the system didn't allow me to enter the immigration related questions and the online check-in was unsuccessful. I complained this to the airline employee at the check in counter, and got very rude answers and ended up pay for their fault. read more

Ryanair, the company everyone loathes yet can't keep away from. I myself have mixed feelings about Ryanair. On the one hand, they do very reasonably priced flights. On the other you really have to learn their routine as they make their money on the details. Now that being said like everyone else who has ever flown Ryanair I have a horror story or two about my experiences, but on the other hand I have had some amazing experiences with them as well. Usually, is all depends on the time of year and who is working. They are usually very friendly and extremely helpful when you fly out of Ireland. Other times not so much. Same on the returns. I flew to Reus recently and leaving Ireland was brilliant. My suitcase was a bit over the limit but they said no problem. Coming back however I was hit with a surcharge. On top of that due to my passport not being of Irish origin I had to get my ticket stamped coming and going. Leaving they happily did it while checking in my bag. On my return from Spain I waited in the queue for two hours only to be told they have a different system there, and was then forced to go queue in another part of the airport for another hour as they do not stamp at the Ryanair desk in the Reus airport like they do in Ireland, a fact that was never mentioned to me anywhere or at anytime. We also paid for priority boarding and flying over it was perfect, whereas flying back even though we and others had paid for this there was no priority boarding, it was all first come first served and we had to move people out of our pre-booked seats when we did finally make it on the plane. So some good, some bad, but great prices so like everyone else we will complain but of course we will be back. read more

Beware, if you are not an EU passenger you will have to get your visa stamped in the airport and wait in the impossibly long bag drop line to do so. This practice is not done by any other airline and is written in the fine print in your ticket. My group wouldn't have known if the tsa guy didn't point it out for us. He said that people forget to do it all the time and then RyanAir will tell them about it at boarding and they miss their flight. Overall, not a good flight either.

Worst Airline Ever. You must check in at least 2 hours before hand. AND NO ONE TELLS YOU OR HELPS YOU. The lines are too long and it cost us more for "late arrival" (we were at the airport 1 hr and 30 mins before hand) than for the original ticket. Only 1 very nice lady helped us while everyone else we encountered couldn't care less. They charge you for drinks in the flight and don't tell you.

I have flown with this airline to a good few destinations, they are handy for those cheap flights and the customer service isn't that bad! Your paying for what you get for. I always bring carry on luggage and never get caught with a longchamp travel bag ( they can't weigh the bags as they use a cardboard rectangle box to see if your carry fit their requirements ). They are strict on your carry on but they will never weigh these bags! Good few destinations but always check what airport your flying into because your transport to your destination could be more than your flight. read more

I know that there are no luxuries with Ryanair and you can at times see windows repaired with duct tape. But for the prices you can fly you can not really expect too much and personally I have not been too much delayed with their flights. The only reason why I can not give them a 5* is because it is not luxury and they do not fly you to the best and most convenient airports but then again you can not expect too much for the prices that you pay and I will be using Ryanair as long as they are around. Even if there is not a lot of space for you knees. At least the seats are wide enough for my butt. read more

When we spoke to the woman at the desk, she nearly screamed at us that it's not their problem.

I read the reviews, and find that the majority of people fail to read the instructions when booking. Ryan Air has rules. If you don't want to abide by them, then go somewhere else. Seems as though people are used to breaking rules everywhere in life, and getting away with it. I pay the extra money to board first, and sit in a specific seat. Then people board, and whine because they can't sit in the empty seats next to me... because they are reserved. Luggage weight, carryon's, printing your boarding pass, and all the other rules are spelled out clearly when booking your ticket. If a travel agent books your tickets, and fails to let you know the rules, it is THEIR fault you are uninformed, not Ryan Air's Now, are the seats uncomfortable? Is it odd to have merchandising on going throughout the flight? Do some of the passengers act like they are clueless? Yes to all this and more. Ryan Air's business model is different than what most people really understand. The goal is to provide the "ride" for as little cost as possible, and then to have the rest of the amenities as a personal choice, so people can purchase the level of service they can afford. We fly a couple times a month, always on Ryan Air, and will say it is uncomfortable, noisy, (a lot of children, as the prices are affordable to families), and always entertaining to watch people who seem to be clueless. No nice jetways, but a walk across the tarmac after going down stairs, only to hike back up the planes stairway. We decide these inconvenience's are worth the price we are paying, and that allows us to travel all over Europe, when we could not really afford to do it on Standard air lines. Read the rules, and follow the rules, and your Ryan Air flight will be no more-no less problematic than any other air line. read more

Ryanair are such a horde of cretins. Unfortunately, for those of us conscious about not spending too much money we don't have any alternative but to travel via their no-frills service. I don't mind no-frills as long as what is fundamentally important about the journey, i.e. safety, efficiency, all-round competence and friendly service are there in abundance, but unsurprisingly for a low-cost airline, they are not and so the dissatisfaction and aggravation on the part of the passenger begins. Over half of the flights I have taken from Dublin to London have been delayed by an average of two hours each. The chaos doesn't stop there. On two occasions I have been stopped twice for apparently having a piece of hand luggage too bulky to take on board. On the first occasion this happened I opened the case, took out clothes and actually put them on in order to decrease the breadth of the bag. There was no way I was going to accept such a preposterous regulation and pay an extortionate €30 charge for the privilege of taking my normal sized hand baggage on board - despite their claims to the contrary that it was too chunky. The second time this happened however I was refused the opportunity to open my bag and reshuffle or take out items so as to make it appear smaller. This happened at the actual departure gate so there was no longer enough time to go back and check the bag in. Leaving it right up until the very last minute when you are about to literally step onto the plane to inform you that your luggage is in breach of regulations is really quite merciless and unjust. It leaves the passenger in an extremely vulnerable position minus any alternative but to fully adhere to Ryanair's demands. They don't accept any form of credit or debit cards when you reach the departure gate and so the payment has to be done in cash only. By the time you get to the more remotely positioned departure gates there are none, if any ATM's nearby, making the situation even more stressful. I burst into tears on this occasion, not helped further by the Ryanair employee's continuous yelp of, 'If you don't pay we have authority to deny you boarding onto the flight', followed by 'You will not be able to fly if you don't pay.' This belligerent and hasty temperament that she chose to adopt was unprofessional, dishonourable and unkind in light of the situation. At Ryanair there is never any room for sympathy nor anything really in the way of humanitarianism. No consideration, compassion nor empathy is exuded from what is a mechanical and henceforth power-driven workforce. All they are interested in is making as much money as possible out of passenger's susceptibility to what they assumed to be a genial airline. I always try and book as early as I can to get reasonably priced tickets on rival airline Aer Lingus who offer a much more amiable and comfortable service. I also don't begrudge handing over my money to Aer Lingus, who are far less discreditable in way of customer service and an overall better airline. read more

They are supposed to let me fill out a Property Irregularity Report, but the employee helping me said they couldn't find any forms. He took my information and said my bag was most likely still in Dublin and would be delivered the next morning. It wasn't. My travel insurance said I can't make a claim without a Property Irregularity Report. Ryanair customer service was essentially nonexistent.

There's a reason they are so cheap and it's just not worth it the risk. 1. Apparently online check in is required and if you do not check in online they charge you a RIDICULOUS fee of over $100. I don't understand this policy. First off, for many days while abroad in London I did not have access to wifi. Secondly, even if I had there was no clear indication that this is a policy. I was told it's in the fine print. 2. Front desk personnel at Stansted have a poor concept of customer service. I calmly tried to explain why I was not able to check in prior to arriving at the airport (two hours early mind you) and the front desk woman just became more and more unfriendly. Finally I told her ok go ahead and charge me. While she was typing in my credit card number I just calmly said that I don't agree with this policy because it is not convenient for foreigners and she kept stopping her work to respond to me... so I said please continue to do your work I don't want to miss my flight and she said I have to respond to your question and I said but I am not asking a question I am just expressing my concerns and she said well I have to respond to that and I said well you can respond and work at the same time and she got mad at that and said I refuse to serve you and left her post in a huff. Her co worker had to apologize to me and come and take my credit card. 3. We missed our flight because that was the morning after the Paris shootings and security was extra tight...when we got to the wing of Ryanair it was COMPLETELY EMPTY. Not a soul to help us. It was like a zombie apocalypse. Another girl was there and she found a maintenance man for the airport who told us we have to use a landline and call someone to come pick us up to take us back to the front. We call. We wait. The man drops us off at a midway point. We find a Ryanair desk there and try to book another flight. We are told if we checked bags we have to exit the area completely past security and re enter and oh there's no way back (there is a train to take you from the main terminal) so you have to walk ALL the way back. We get back to the front. Get back on line. We are told because we had bags we have to go to another area, use a special landline and contact someone to bring down our bags. We are told to wait near security for flight personnel. This woman comes down and has us go through security only to just bring us around to baggage claim where our bags are. 4. Finally we are able to rebook new tickets and go through security for the third time but we don't know which train to take for which terminal because they have this policy where you have to wait and watch the board for when the gate is announced and then you only have have like 15 minutes to get there for the boarding window or else you can't fly. read more

The worst airline! Do NOT fly with them. They charge for everything, their customer service is terrible, and they have no idea what they are doing. They send you to 5 different lines just to check in! It easily takes an hour and a half before you even get to security. This was at Stansted and Barcelona - same arbitrary process and workers who dont know what they are doing. I promise it is not worth the boiling point your blood reaches. read more

OMG! So this is the free for all of airlines! It's cheap and there are no reserved seats. You sit where ever you can fit you ass in. They announce the plane is arrived and it's a race to get the best seats. People run across the tarmac to get into the plane. AND you board from the front and back. You get on the plane and there is some pushing but just enjoy it. When is the last time you played musical chairs? No frills, not kindness. Just a freekin cheap flight. read more

Well....yeah....what can I say? It is, by far, the cheapest airline out there as long as you only have one carry-on, don't pay with a credit card, don't check any bags, can put up with grumpy agents at check-in, are willing to walk outside to board the plane, don't mind a plane littered with advertisements, and can handle a landing that makes you wonder if you'll ever see your loved ones again. As long as you're willing to put up with all those things, Ryanair will get you from point A to point B almost anywhere in Europe and the UK at some of the lowest rates. read more

Basically a licensed rip-off. I flew with them one last time... Indeed in my recent experience I was send an email telling me to check-in online prior getting to the airport in order to avoid extra fees (55 euros). So first thing is, they send important emails once in a while among ALL their commercial emails and advertisements intended to sell you something else - so you basically have to open and read all of these in order to detect important information. Now, if it was only that, that would be annoying but acceptable for those with a high tolerance for scammers. What happened to me was, I actually tried to connect and check-in (which shouldn't by any mean be mandatory - since when can't we check-in at the airport like normal travelers - but oh well it's a 'rule') only to realize that their system was 'down' at this exact moment. I then headed to the airport where they basically told me I had to pay or I couldn't travel (no even in a nice way, more in a f%&k off kind of way). So I pay up, get a paper with the website to file a complaint (at this moment the employees were telling me that they aren't gonna refund me anyway). Next step, I complained, and then we exchange 2 weeks of emails (when they dared to answer) with a representative of Ryanair with an already cooked up answer that fist wasn't fitting to my particular problem and then telling me to basically go fly a kite because they won't do anything about it. They asked me to send the print screen of my attempt to check-in, 2 weeks after (so of course I didn't have it - I didn't even take it at first as I thought I'd check in at the airport) and then just disregarded my issue by ignoring me. Worst company, and I've seen a lot of bad companies. Avoid it unless you like bad surprises. It really seems like a well rounded scam. read more

This review is made by my younger brother who doesn't have an yelp account and asked me to post it for him, so here we go! "I flew from Lisbon to Madrid with a different airline and I didn't have any trouble being checked in. I gave them my passport, and they gave me my ticket. When I went to transfer to the next flight to get my ticket from Ryanair from Madrid to Bucharest (that was when I arrived in Madrid) the front ticketing person wouldn't look me up unless I was checked in. I am 16 years old and for some reason (maybe because I am a minor! Your rules!) it wouldn't let me check in...and I explained that to the person at the ticket counter and she wouldn't care...not even look for my name in the system. Hello! I am here!!! Just look! Than she asked for the reservation number, but I only had one reservation number for both flights (the tickets was bought with a travel agency) and that was the only reference number I had... It is inacceptabile to be so lazy and not to make any effort to solve the situation. I am just a kid lady and company!!! It is your bad rules that you won't allow me to check in online because I am under 18 years old. You just know to give me greave and stress the hack out of me (and first time flying too). Make an effort and do your job...you don't like it?! Go wash restrooms maybe it's easier for you. Ryan air should not give such a hard time to teenagers under 18 years old....helps them and comfort them. You made the rules that I can't check in because I am a minor, than follow he rules and give me a hand. Bad companies never want to improve. RyanAir is one of them. I almost lost my flight but thanks to people around who understood the situation and yelled a couple of time to this brainwashed personnel...I sounds rude but boy I was so stressed out for almost being left behind in a country I don't belong" read more

Very bad airline, horrible customer service My wife and I were in Athens in August 2017 for the holiday, we decide to go to Santorini Island for 2 days. I book my airline with Olympic Air to go to Santorini, but decided to book return flight with Ryanair. Olympic Air (website: https://www.olympicair.com/en) Customer service: excellent (very friendly, very professional) Flight seats were okay and clean They provided food and beverages during the 45 minutes flight to Santorini Next time we only will go with Olympic Air Website: https://www.olympicair.com/en Ryanair Very rude customer service Very unprofessional Dirty and small seats No food or beverages was provided My wife ask for water and flight attendant told her they don't have water **************Be aware this is the only airline that I know of that require its customer to print the BOARDIN PASS before coming to airport Please note if you don't print and have your boarding pass before coming to airport they will charge you 50 euro penalty charge per person. Overall we are very disappointed with Ryanair. They don't deserve our business and our respect. If I could I would gave them 0 stars.

Went through the whole online check in process 1 week before departure, payed for seat choice so I could sit with my boyfriend, payed for bags, just short of printing tickets because I don't have a printer so they charged us 50 extra euros each to check in once we arrived at at the airport.

Had an issue with Ryanair at the airport and ended up having to buy a "last minute ticket" for a ridiculous price (6 times the cost of the original ticket I had bought). The employees there were extremely rude and unhelpful, giving me incorrect information. There was one semi-compassionate worker who told me to write in to customer service and tell them the whole story. After submitting a two-page letter all I received was a cold, impersonal response with three lines saying they couldn't do anything for me. Thank you for wasting both my time and my money, Ryanair, and for showing me the extent to which you don't care about your loyal customers. read more

On a return flight from France I was travelling with 3 children 10 and under - despite telling us before that we'd get priority boarding for people with small children nothing happened and no help was offered, so we had to scramble in with everyone else and then had to sit apart.

This airline does not even deserve a zero. Here is why: You find a cheap ticket but here are the things you need to be very aware of: -Print your boarding card yourself (or they'll fine you) -Measure your 1 bag carefully (or they'll fine you) -Wear headphones during the flights (or they'll bombard you with propaganda as though you had stepped into a cheap shopping mall) -Read and research from what airport they fly (or you'll have to pay $200 through the nose at the last minute to get into a taxi to get to the airport they should have specified more clearly on their e-mail confirmation to you). In short, no thank you. read more

Our experience with Aer Lingus from Dublin to Chicago was great…read more Check-in/baggage check was a breeze with minimal wait, friendly service and helpful guidance for our trip and baggage claim upon landing at our final destination, which was Nashville via connection at ORD. They have self service kiosks that allow you to check-in, however we were unable to utilize as we did not have boarding passes yet due to the variety of booking through Amex. We did luggage drop and boarding pass printing at the counter. There was no hassle and it was efficient. Once checked in and bags dropped, we hit the gate and the agents there were helpful in keeping everyone updated. The plane arrived and we boarded on time and with ease. I appreciate the boarding process of back to front, I wish more US airlines would adopt this! It makes the stress of using the overhead bins so much more tolerable. The plane was a wide body in 2-4-2 layout, which is the best variety of aircraft for a lovely 7.5 hour flight. The plane was clean and in good condition, with the exception of one of the toilets being out of order in the back. This created a bit of a line at times. The meal service on the plane was better than expected with a full meal including a main pasta or chicken dish, side salad, bread, dessert and water. This was followed by a baked chicken roll/hot pocket and then ice cream later in the flight. All of this was in between coffee and drink services. The flight attendants were friendly, helpful and efficient. No baggage issues from start to finish. Even after a 7.5 hour flight and a 7 hour layover, our bags made it to our final destination without issue. Overall, experience on Aer Lingus was great. When heading back to Dublin/Ireland in the future, we are excited to utilize Aer Lingus.

But we did save the cost AND time it would have taken to get to our hotel from any of the other London airports. City airport was only 1.2 miles from our hotel, we could have walked it.

From the flat out rude customer service to the ridiculousness of charging for a seat (after you have purchased your ticket). I purchased two one way tickets with this airline, due to their convenient flight times, for my partners and my vacation this year. The first flight was from JFK to Gatwick on October 23rd, but thought I would check the baggage policy before packing the day before. My partner and I decided to pack and pay for one checked bag on this flight because it said we had four checked bags included in our ticket back home from Dublin to Newburgh. No problem, I totally understand paying for checked luggage. It was weird to me though that we still hadn't been assigned seats the night before. Usually you pick your seats when you purchase a ticket, which is what happened with the return flight, but not the initial one to Gatwick. Come to find out, this airline bases things on class. Supposedly, I purchased a "low fare" ticket, which I guess gives them permission to treat you differently. With this, you have to pay $25 to pick your seat. So for myself and my partner, I paid $50 on top of the price I already paid for the ticket (who knows where that nearly $300 goes to). The awful experience doesn't stop there though. If you purchase a low fare ticket, don't expect to be acknowledged AT ALL, and I literally mean AT ALL, on your flight. While food is being served, if you have a low fare ticket, you get absolutely nothing. Not even water .... for a SEVEN HOUR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT!!! There were no menus distributed to even offer you the opportunity to order anything. This is abysmal customer service. Knowing how this airline works, for our return flight from Dublin to Newburgh, both my partner and I had higher priced tickets that included meals, seat assignments and two checked bags each. I thought we would be fine and could chalk the first flight up to a "bad experience". However, when looking at the tickets before leaving the hotel, I noticed that our meals were incorrect. We choose no preference thinking that we would be allowed to choose on the flight. Not an unreasonable assumption, but was with this airline. They simply assigned us two meals at random. Ok, I will just change it when I arrive at the airport (three and a half hours early), but NOPE! Once again, the horrendous customer service reared its ugly head. The man at check-in informed us that nothing could be changed at this point. He then proceeded to tell us our one checked bag (remember the part about having FOUR checked bags, 20kg each, included in our ticket) was 2kg over. Until I told him that we were allotted four checked bags, which he didn't even check to confirm, he was going to charge us extra. I'm sorry, but the screen in front of you tells you everything you need to know about our tickets. As I am currently in the airport to catch this last flight home, we shall see how this one fares, although I have extremely low expectations. I would give it negative five stars if I could!!! Needless to say, I will NEVER fly with this company again and will actively a little more to fly another airline. Also, anyone considering using this airline, please know there is no in flight entertainment, unless you download the app they use. You will also need to be wearing an outfit meant for summer as it uncomfortably hot in the cabin.

My group had three valid paid tickets for a specific scheduled service, as stated on the ticket terms (valid only for the booked time). We boarded the bus, sat down, and were fully settled when the driver abruptly instructed all three of us to get off the vehicle. At no point did he ask whether we were able to take the next bus. He simply told us to leave. He explained that a pregnant woman--who did not have a ticket--should have priority. While we fully respect and understand support for pregnant passengers, removing paying passengers with valid reservations to make space for someone without a ticket is unacceptable and directly contradicts Aircoach policy. After we were removed, the driver then stated that we could "try the next bus", despite our tickets clearly indicating that they are valid only for the booked time, and even noted that the next service might be full as well. This left us effectively stranded. As a result, we had no option but to take a taxi to the airport. We paid in cash, so we do not have a receipt, but this was an expense we should never have had to incur. This incident caused financial loss, unnecessary stress, and represented a serious failure in customer service and adherence to Aircoach procedure. Passengers with valid tickets should never be removed to accommodate someone without a ticket. I am requesting: 1. A full refund for all three Aircoach tickets 2. Confirmation that this incident will be formally investigated, as the driver's behaviour was improper, unprofessional, and against Aircoach policy 3. Guidance on how to proceed in cases where passengers are removed despite holding valid reservations I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Kind regards,

**Ryanair: A Budget Airline with a Price Tag on Customer Experience** **Contact Information:** * **Phone:** +1 (８55) 500-0028 * **Website:** [Insert Ryanair Website Link Here] * **Customer Service:** [Insert Ryanair Customer Service Link Here] **Review 1: The Pragmatic Traveler** Ryanair. The name conjures images of cramped seats, questionable food, and the relentless pursuit of the lowest possible fare. And you know what? For the budget-conscious traveler, it often delivers. If you're looking for a quick, affordable flight between two European destinations, Ryanair can be a viable option. You're not going to be pampered, but you're not going to be ripped off either. The real kicker? The fees. Oh, the fees. From checked baggage to seat selection, Ryanair piles on the extras, making the initial low price feel less appealing. It's a game of "spot the hidden cost," and you'll need to be meticulously prepared to avoid surprises. The in-flight entertainment is often non-existent, and the food is, well, let's just say it's not going to win any culinary awards. **Pros:** * **Low fares:** This is Ryanair's primary strength. If cost is your top priority, they can deliver. * **Extensive European network:** A huge selection of routes, particularly within Europe. **Cons:** * **Hidden fees:** The real cost often exceeds the initial advertised price. * **Poor customer service:** Many complaints highlight difficulty in resolving issues. * **Poor in-flight experience:** This is a significant downside, with limited amenities and little to no entertainment. * **Uncomfortable seats:** A real drawback for long-haul flights. **Verdict:** Ryanair is a practical choice for budget travelers on short hops, but expect a significant compromise on comfort and convenience. **Review 2: The Disgruntled Customer** Ryanair. Just the word makes my blood boil. This airline exists solely to maximize profit at the expense of the passenger experience. From the moment you book, you're bombarded with mandatory fees. Checked baggage? Extra. Seat selection? Extra. In-flight refreshments? Extra. It's a relentless barrage of charges that leave you wondering if you're actually getting a deal. And the service? Let's just say it's nonexistent. Trying to get in touch with customer service is akin to wrestling a greased pig. Their website is convoluted, and the phone lines are often jammed. Add to that the cramped, uncomfortable seats, the near-absence of in-flight amenities, and the overall feeling of being treated like a piece of cargo. **Pros:** * (There aren't many) **Cons:** * **Excessive fees:** The hidden costs are rampant and often outrageous. * **Poor customer service:** A monumental problem. * **Uncomfortable travel experience:** From the cramped seats to the limited amenities. * **Disappointing overall experience:** The whole experience is frustrating and unpleasant. **Verdict:** Avoid if possible. There are better options, even if they cost a little more. **Review 3: The Cynical Observer** Ryanair: A study in efficiency. They've streamlined everything, haven't they? From the minimal service to the meticulously planned fee structure. You're not getting luxury, but you're getting what you pay for (or more, if you're not careful). The focus is unequivocally on cost-cutting, and that's reflected in everything from the lack of amenities to the cramped seating. Is it good value for money? Sometimes. On a quick hop between nearby cities, it might be a reasonable choice. But if you're looking for a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience, Ryanair is definitely not your cup of tea. **Pros:** * **Efficient operations:** They get you from point A to point B. * **Low fares (sometimes):** The price can be enticing. **Cons:** * **Poor value proposition:** The hidden costs make the advertised price deceptive. * **Uncomfortable travel conditions:** A major drawback. * **Limited customer service options:** Difficult to resolve issues. **Verdict:** A viable option for the truly budget-conscious traveler, but it comes with significant compromises. **Review 4: The Balanced View** Ryanair has a reputation, and it's often a mixed bag. On the one hand, you have the attractive low fares, particularly for short-haul flights within Europe. This is a huge draw for budget travelers. However, the experience is far from luxurious. The seats are cramped, in-flight service is minimal, and the hidden fees can quickly erode the initial appeal of the low price. **Pros:** * **Low fares:** If cost is paramount, Ryanair can be a good choice. * **Extensive network:** A wide selection of routes, particularly in Europe. **Cons:** * **Hidden fees:** The advertised price is often misleading. * **Customer service can be problematic:** Issues are often difficult to resolve. * **Overall experience can be subpar:** Comfort and convenience are sacrificed for cost. **Verdict:** Ryanair is read more

Daí, um belo dia você acorda e decide criar uma companhia aérea low cost. GREAT!!! Até que você decide que o lucro não está satisfatório (veja bem, não é que não haja lucro; ele apenas não atende as expectativas) e tem a brilhante ideia de EXTORQUIR seus passageiros. Pra mim, esse é o modelo de negócios da Ryanair. Pra começar: por quê temos de fazer check-in online se as funcionárias estão sentadinhas lá no aeroporto ganhando seu salário mesmo com os passageiros fazendo check-in online??? Não faz sentido. A extorsão é descarada! Muito bem, entro na fila e, pra minha surpresa, a funcionária desaparece. O velho padrão Ryanair de trabalhar desapareceu, não deu explicação. Se não fossem as outras funcionárias e os passageiros serem compreensivos, estaria lá até agora! Os vôos da Ryanair são baratos, mas se você fizer uma simulação com todos os gastos extras, vai ver que não compensa. Ainda mais porque você é tratado como gado gado com cartão de crédito!!! Muito bem, depois do check-in (e do tratamento VIP dado pelos funcionários do Stansted NOOOT! veja resenha do aeroporto pra não ser enganado!), me deparei com dois funcionários verificando peso e tamanho na mala antes mesmo de o passageiro atingir o portão de embarque. Me senti uma estelionatária (embora saiba que os estelionatários são eles!!!). Os funcionários são mal educados e tratam quem está com problemas com indiferença como se a pessoa tivesse praticado um CRIME HEDIONDO ao não pagar pelo despacho da bagagem online. Não deixam você passar sem que enfie tudo em apenas um volume e o pese. O meu passou do peso e me cobraram £ 35 (!!!), um verdadeiro abuso considerando que online o preço é £ 15 (por mala, por trecho). Ou seja, eles PUNEM os passageiros que não aceitam as cobranças absurdas que eles fazem online. Uma vez feito o check-in online (que é feito automaticamente para todos os trechos), não é possível adicionar uma mala, por exemplo. Ou seja, se você foi cobrado na ida, será cobrado na volta a não ser que jogue coisas fora (eu já decidi que não vou jogar coisas fora, nem pagar colocarei uma roupa por cima da outra, NA FRENTE DELES, pra genter ver quem é mais esperto!!!). Uma verdadeira máquina de ganhar dinheiro! E fácil! Falando em ganhar dinheiro, não há comissários mais irritantes que os da Ryanair quando o assunto é vender produtos dentro do avião. Chega a ser inconveniente!!! Eu só não assumo agora um compromisso de NUNCA mais voar com esta empresa por que já tenho passagens compradas. De qualquer forma, assumo o compromisso de só voar com eles novamente em caso extremo, quando nenhuma outra empresa fizer vôos para o mesmo lugar. Ah, quem for voar pra Dinard (anunciado pela Ryanair como St. Malo), só fique esperto com o transporte entre o aeroporto e St. Malo propriamente. Não existe transporte público no local e a Ryanair não teve a decência de fazer uma parceria para garantir transporte para os passageiros. A corrida de táxi não sai muito cara, mas pode ser complicado conseguir um táxi quando se chega. Quem quiser arriscar voar com eles, vá em frente. Mas leve uma quantidade extra de dinheiro. Só pra ter certeza de embarcar caso algo saia fora do planejado. Eles embarcam todo mundo que paga os extras. read more

Please contact Call Airlines at 855-657-6600 before your flight so arrangements for any additional OTA support can be discussed properly. As an Emerald member within the oneworld alliance, I have consistently received complimentary seat selection benefits when flying with partner airlines. Unfortunately, my experience with Royal Jordanian completely broke that expectation. I ended up paying $140 for two seats that were clearly displayed during booking as a two-seat row configuration. However, upon boarding, my wife and I were surprised to find that the row actually had three seats. This completely defeats the purpose of paying extra, as no one intentionally pays for a middle seat. It felt misleading and frankly unacceptable. My assigned seat, 6K, was another major issue. The seat had almost no cushioning at all, making it extremely uncomfortable for a long-haul flight. I had to stack multiple pillows and blankets just to avoid severe back pain. For an international airline, especially one associated with a premium alliance, this level of seating quality is disappointing. Customer service was equally frustrating. I initially called a representative in Detroit to get basic information about the aircraft and flight. Instead of helping, I was redirected to another number, which I believe was based in Chicago. When I called that number, I was told they couldn't assist and was given yet another contact. That third contact then directed me back to the original Detroit number. After going in circles, I finally reached someone who provided the information I had been asking for from the beginning. This lack of coordination and efficiency reflects poorly on the airline's support system. Boarding the aircraft brought mixed impressions. The plane itself was modern, clean, and visually impressive. Most of the flight attendants were professional and clearly working hard to manage the passengers. However, the overall passenger experience was significantly affected by the behavior of other travelers. Many passengers were loud, inconsiderate, and did not maintain basic cleanliness standards. The condition of the restrooms during the flight was particularly disturbing. Within just a few hours, the bathrooms were in terrible condition - urine on the floor, clogged sinks, and an overall lack of hygiene. It was shocking to see such poor maintenance on what is supposed to be a premium international flight. This level of uncleanliness made the journey extremely uncomfortable. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing airline experiences I have ever had. From misleading seat selection and uncomfortable seating to poor customer service and hygiene issues, the experience fell far below expectations. I would not choose Royal Jordanian again under any circumstances. I would rather pay significantly more or take a longer, less convenient route than go through such an experience again. There are far better alternatives available, and I strongly recommend considering other airlines for travel. read more

The **24/7 customer support team* is available to help & with flight reservations, ticket changes, cancellations, and complete travel support anytime.!!. The airline passenger experience in early 2026 shows clear signs of improvement while still facing familiar challenges. Recent customer surveys and online reviews highlight a generally positive mood among travelers, with many noting smoother journeys compared to previous years. Feedback remains diverse across different stages of travel, revealing both strengths and areas needing attention. ###Overall Satisfaction Most passengers express solid contentment with their flying experiences. Many describe trips as comfortable and well-managed when everything runs according to plan. Full-service carriers often receive praise for delivering reliable and enjoyable flights, while budget options appeal to cost-conscious travelers who accept basic service in exchange for lower fares. Overall, travelers seem more forgiving when core expectations around safety, comfort, and timeliness are met. ###Booking and Pre-Flight Experience The booking process earns mixed but generally improving feedback. Passengers appreciate user-friendly apps and websites that allow easy seat selection and flexible changes. However, complaints frequently arise over unclear pricing, surprise fees and complicated refund processes. Many travelers value transparent communication and straightforward policies during the pre-flight stage. ###Airport Experience Airports receive decent marks for cleanliness, signage, and shopping options. Travelers often highlight helpful staff and comfortable waiting areas as positive aspects. On the downside, long security lines, crowded terminals, and insufficient support for elderly passengers or those with disabilities remain common pain points. Families and business travelers particularly emphasize the need for better facilities and faster processing. ###In-Flight Experience This category generates some of the strongest praise when executed well. Passengers frequently commend friendly and attentive cabin crews, comfortable seating in premium cabins, and good-quality meals on longer flights. Entertainment systems with varied content and reliable Wi-Fi also earn positive mentions. In economy class, feedback centers on legroom and cleanliness, with many noting gradual improvements. Budget carriers draw criticism for cramped seats and lack of complimentary services. ###Punctuality, Reliability, and Disruptions On-time performance strongly influences overall opinions. Travelers express high satisfaction when flights depart and arrive as scheduled. When delays occur, clear and timely updates from airlines help maintain goodwill. Passengers report greater loyalty toward airlines that communicate effectively during irregular operations. read more

I have been flying for many years and, BELIEVE ME, Ryanair is the WORST company you will ever deal with ! Starting from their "SCAM website" where everything is carefully planned so you can misunderstand your choices and pay extra money just for "not-wanted services". Their MARKETING TACTICS are INSULTING ! By having studied and working on the Marketing area for over 20 years I GUARANTEE YOU that RYANAIR is using the most SNEAKY & MISLEADING MARKETING TACTICS , trying to sell you not-wanted service or to force you in opting-out useless and hidden extra-charge services. Everything is intended to make you doing something wrong in their booking process = from misspelling your name (so you will pay 100£ just to change a letter) to force you buying their extra-expensive INSURANCE by HIDING the "no-I-don't-want-it" form option. BUT wait, after booking you ticket.... the WORST HAS STILL TO COME ! When you are at the airport and it's time for BOARDING... the real NIGHTMARE is going to start ! You will see it in others' people faces. Especially in families and friends terrorized faces, hoping this time they will have the opportunity to seat together or, just to find an empty space for their hand luggage (which actually they paid for). And now... it's time for boarding ! Now you must be prepared for the scary LUGGAGE "SIZE CHEK" EXPERIENCE where everything is planned to make you pay the extra 60£, just in case your luggage is only 1 inch larger :-) At this time, everybody is so STRESSED ANXYOUS and IRRITATED than it would pray not to have bought their Ryanair ticket. But WAIT.... the stress it's not over ! While you are in the QUEUE, extremely under-pressure, hoping the boarding process will be ok... you must also be prepared to face an army of ANGRY and STRICT Hostess. The Ryanair crew staff is indeed prepared to rip you off for any mistake or extra grams you have in you luggage, trained worst than an army of SS in a German concentration camp ! And , if you are hoping for a smile from them, sorry... FORGET IT ! A Ryanair Hostess will NEVER, EVER, SMILE to you. Why? Everything is explained in this video where, the "infamous" Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said somethig quite embarrassing about their employees = (click) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfIY24BErBE So... what's my personal years experience with Ryanair? I'll tell you in a few words... Flying with Ryanair is (much) WORST than a KICK to your GENITALS ! read more

We used this airline company for our family vacation during the holidays in Europe particularly when we flew from Rome to London and back. If I were you, I will stay away from them. The reason being is that contrary to their slogan: Low fares. Made simple." they are scumbags and they make your life a living hell. On the way to Rome, we had to pay 1,000 pounds extra (100 pounds for each of the ten of us) to re-book our flight. Not because we arrived late at the airport and that the plane has already left us when we got there but because we were made to believe that is the case although we didn't hear them making the final call for boarding through their paging system and that we could see by the window that the plane hasn't left yet and that there were still some passengers boarding the plane. We tried to plead our case but the ground crew refused to listen and told us to call a number so one of them could take us back to the ticketing office/desk. On the way back to London, after we passed by the security check in and reached the gate where we were about to hop in the bus that would take us to the plane, their ground crew stopped and charged us 50 Euros for each of our hand carried luggage because according to them they were bigger, longer and heavier than what is required. The ironies are: our bags fitted and weighed just fine when we inserted them to their measuring/weighing device, there were passengers of the same flight carrying even bigger, longer and heavier bags than us but were never stopped, and that we used the same bags with similar contents on the way to Rome but didn't have any problem at all. Again, we tried to plead our case but they won't listen and told us to be quiet instead. Since we didn't want to miss our flight again, we decided to just pay them and file a complaint later to the proper authority. However, as we were paying we tried to take photos but one of them grabbed our phones, deleted the photos and threatened us that if we were to publish any photos online they would call the police and have us arrested. I asked for the person's name but she won't give it to me and flipped her ID over so I won't be able to read it. So yes, the quality of their customer service were not only poor, their ground crew were also coercive and showed no regard for your rights. read more

Cheap and cheerful until you have any ammendments to make and have to deal with their horrendous customer 'service'. A month before we were due to fly to Italy we found out we could no longer make the original dates. So we called to move the flights (which would inevitably be a cheaper ticket as our earlier ones were over Easter but understood we would not get refunded the difference). The initial tickets for two people to fly return to Italy over easter were £350. When calling to change the flight to a month later for tickets which I could see on the web as new for £170, understanding we'd have to pay in the cost to make the change. 'That will be £407' the lady on the other side told me. 'Oh you mean including the £350 we've already paid?' 'No, on top of that?' I was horrified and went through the next ten minutes discussing how I could see it for less than half the price on the front end of their site but she still claimed that was the cheapest surcharge she could arrange which I said was mad and she hung up. Nice. I called back immediately and asked to speak with her. The person came back to ask if it was about the 'Italy tickets' and I said yes and she said 'Oh then I'm sorry that lady is out.' I asked to speak to a manager and was told they would call me back, another thing I am still waiting for. In the next few days I spoke to two other members of staff as did my partner and not one of them could give me a better option than £770 for tickets to Italy on Ryan Air. What a joke. The best part is there's no way of contacting their customer complaints department unless by fax or post. Desperate to save on the tickets while they were still a month away I sent a letter and faxed it detailing my issue. I never heard back. I faxed the same letter again the following week and still no reply. We lost those tickets and ended up buying tickets on BA for less than the Ryan Air quote to 'move' my current tickets. We kissed £350 good bye and had to buy new tickets but learnt a lesson and will not where ever possible support a company that is cheap to its very core - right down to basic customer service. read more

In the past three weeks, I've taken around eight flights across three continents. I experienced delays of over three hours and other issues along the way, but nothing comes close to how unacceptable this Ryanair flight was. From the very beginning, it was clear there was serious mismanagement. Boarding took place during heavy rain, and passengers were left standing outside for about 10 minutes, completely exposed, with no proper organization or care. By the time I got on the plane, I was soaked, freezing, and physically shaking. It didn't get better onboard. The aircraft was clearly not cleaned, and I had to wipe down my own seat before sitting. Still trying to warm up, I attempted to buy a cup of tea only to be told the machine wasn't working. Even basic paid services failed. What happened after landing was far worse. My Swiss carry-on was returned covered in mud, which is already unacceptable handling. But the real shock came when I opened it at the hotel: every single item inside was wet and muddy. This is not normal mishandling, this means my luggage was left sitting in water and mud long enough for it to seep through the zippers and destroy everything inside. This was a business trip, and I had packed brand new clothes. All of them were ruined. I was left with nothing clean or dry to wear, not even my arrival outfit, since that was already soaked during boarding. This is not about low-cost travel anymore. This is negligence. Saving a small amount on a ticket is meaningless when your belongings are treated this carelessly and end up destroyed. This experience was unacceptable, unprofessional, and completely avoidable. I will not fly with Ryanair again, and I strongly warn others: think carefully before trusting this airline with your belongings. That said, I want to be fair, the captain and onboard crew were polite and professional despite the situation. The issue is clearly not with them, but with how this operation was managed overall. read more

Although I too share the feelings of the majority I thought I'd post a rare (in my experience) story where I found Ryanair excellent. I was skiing in France and tore 3 ligaments in my knee...nightmare!! So naturally I was put in a massive leg brace. I had a wheel chair for the airport but going through security was horrible. They made me take off my brace (in case i has a bomb in there!) and be assisted through the metal detectors by a security guard, despite the fact I seriously could not put any pressure on my leg. Anyways after that experience I was dreading the flight/boarding etc. I had rang in advance to see about them providing me with an extra seat because I couldnt bend my leg at all but shock horror I would have had to pay €300 for the pleasure...no!! Now the good part...before boarding one of the Ryanair staff came over and advised me that they would board me last and had organised for assistance for me to board the plane. I then mentioned about not being able to bend my knee and in several minutes they had advised me that they arranged an extra seat for me, not only that but they had blocked off three rows of seats so me and my group of friends could sit together. During the flight my knee was incredibly painful and the staff were extremely attentive and even allowed me to sit in the cabin crew part when I started feeling nautious to get some air (lots of pain meds!) When we landed I was taken off the plane first and there was a wheelchair waiting for me and I got to go straight to passport control. They really made an unpleasant experience more bearable and the staff were excellent. Despite its reputation I couldnt have faulted them on that journey! read more

I finally check in and get on the plane, plane was gorgeous and flight attendants for most part were very hard working. Half the people on this flight were idiots, loud, arrogant, dirty and bathrooms even after a couple hours in flight were dirty, urine on the floor, clogged up sinks. Absolutely disgusting!!!! Like a fourth world country on a top of the line plane. I will never ever fly Royal Jordanian again!!!! Would rather pay twice as much and get to Amman in 3 days then fly this airline. Rather take any other airline that go through that hell again. read more
