Hitta billiga flyg med Ryanair

It's worse than spirit

Plus: Actual plan ride was smooth.

Minus: They nickel and dime you. If that's their business model, fine, but clearly state what fees are charged and outline how they can be avoided. My story is.... none of the "check in online" emails/reminders nor the actual check in process clearly outlines how to retrieve your boarding pass. We arrived at the airport and they made us pay €37 per boarding pass!!!!! Turns out you have to download an app to retrieve an electronic pass. Well, we didn't know that, and since we were in a foreign country whose airport had no WIFI, we couldn't download the app. We were traveling with friends who had carry on luggages. The carry on luggages were deemed carry on to our destination. When traveling back home, they were no longer deemed carry on and my friends were charged €60 per carry on bag. Ridiculous. In summary between check bag fees and boarding passes we paid triple the amount of th airfare.

Plus: For a discount airline, the service was what we expected, no frills, just transportation from Lisbon to London.

Minus: As a no frills airline, nothing is free, not even coffee and we paid 6 euros for two cups on board the plane. We paid extra to get better seating and we got one "free" check-in bag as part of the deal. They are very strict with the carry-on luggage and make sure that you adhere to their sizing policies and saw people arguing as they were forced to pay 50 euros for non-compliant bags. It is better to pay extra in advance to get better seating. Finally, if you are traveling to London, the airline flies to Stanted which is about an hour from London, but train service is good and you can connect to the tube and practically reach every corner of the city quickly and cheaply.

Cheap & Cheerful!

Plus: Price was right. Very short flight so it was okay. Price was good.

Minus: Called to gate BEFORE plane even arrived. Left to stand like cattle for over half an hour. Not a seat in sight. Way too much for my elderly husband.

Worst airline

Plus: Nothing

Minus: Crew was awful. They spoke on the loud speaker trying to sell something for more than half the flight.

Stressful

Plus: I like that there's cheap flights from Catania to Rome

Minus: They were so late, almost missed my connecting flight - NO one is there to help or tell you anything. It was beyond stressful

On line check-in site terrible

Minus: The on-line check-in site for Ryanair is terrible. Not at all user friendly. Of course this may be deliberate because if you have to check-in at the airport, they extract a big fee from you.
