Ryanair
 

I flew with RYANAIR last night from JEREZ to STANSTED and saw for myself the priority boarding fiasco, first there seem's to be loads of people who can't read and are deaf, because at first the queue for PRIORTY was packed till the anouncer said first in spanish then english the rules of priorty boarding the deaf ones choose not to hear this !! but when they got to the front of the queue they where found out not to have paid the "EXTRA", and sent to the back of the queue for the SCUM ( thats the queue I was in !!)
but it gets better, because when you get on the plane the first 4/5 rows of seats are unavaible, but as soon as the plane fills up they release these to familys, HEY PRESTO I SAVED 3 EUROS PER PERSON AND STILL SAT TOGETHER
SO STICK THAT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE ALL YOU WHO LOVE TO PAY THE EXTRAS

Re: Ryanair
 

Just seen on telly that Ryanair are now offering free flights with the purchase of something or perhaps that should be the other way round!! Remember the free Hoover flights fiasco?

Re: Ryanair
 

Similar to Squeezyjet at Malaga, first through the boarding gate first on the bus and then guess what......... last off the bus and last on the plane. :rolleyes: stay at the back of the mob.
But they did take the old folks on a special bus first.

A long walk on moving track, then a bus ride back, if we had gone in the other terminal we would of been 50 meters from the plane :D

Re: Ryanair
 

I'll find out were flying to Nottingham (east midlands) at Christmas :D

Had family visiting last year and they (3 adults) allways got seat together. Seems everyone rushes in to the back of plane, inspite of being towards the back of the mob they allways got the very first row :D

To make things eaiser we just paid the extra and checked our bags. considering we're only paying 50 euros round trip for two of us I can't complain about lousey seats.

Re: Ryanair
 

I saw that ad too, but if you listen and watch carefully, it actually says 'buy a XXXXX and get a flight with Ryanair.' It says nothing about a freebie. Probably another scam by either company as these days no-one seems to give away something for nothing !!

Re: Ryanair
 

If you buy anything on board you get a raffle ticket for a free return flight for one person , certain things earn two raffle tickets but you still only get one return flight ticket
AND NO I DID NOT WIN :mad:

Re: Ryanair
 

At the bottom of that add on T.V. is says you have to pay for Taxes surcharge`s etc., ( but the seat is free ). :o

Re: Ryanair
 

So who is it best to fly with these days, ryanair or easy jet????
Or are they both really c**p! :confused:

Re: Ryanair
 

If I was you I would walk !!!

Re: Ryanair
 

If you set off now you should set foot on english soil about easter 2009

Re: Ryanair
 

if you are flying in down south there is a good flight with iberia from sevilla to heathrow. we paid €105 (that includes taxes luggage etc, no surprises). excellent flight. :)

Re: Ryanair
 

Cheers :beer: :scared:

Re: Ryanair
 

RENE is your other half called RENATA ? :confused:
You where big in the 80's singing SAVE YOUR LOVE MY DARLING SAVE YOUR LOVE etc etc......
You where a right big fat bloke back then,
are you still a MR PORKY ?? :D

Re: Ryanair
 

This is a great route, we have used it often, but being discontinued from 31st January 2007. Route is then being taken over by Clickair. We have flights booked for early Feb. Less than 100 euros incl taxes for two adults with full luggage allow. Excellent... Hope the service is good. We live only minutes from Heathrow so also make great savings on car parking etc and I much prefer driving from Sevilla to Chiclana than Heathrow to Stanstead.

Re: Ryanair
 

No,you've got the wrong person,I am female!!!Thats very personal,there's nothing wrong with being BIG,i mean Big Jim was always popular wasn't he?! :beer: :D

Re: Ryanair

Re: Ryanair
 

Well next trip we are flying out with EasyJet, and back with Ryanair :beer: :scared:

Re: Ryanair
 

No problems on the way out then ;)

Re: Ryanair
 

No Worries !!!:beer:

Re: Ryanair
 

I'm flying with Ryanair tomorrow and just received an email from them saying:
"Christmas crackers cannot be accepted on flights so please do not bring them to the airport as you will have to leave them behind. Your baggage allowances are detailed below. Do not wrap any presents that you are carrying in hand baggage as the wrapping will be removed at security. Merry Christmas from all of us here in Ryanair."
Ho ho

Re: Ryanair
 

We are to. why didnt we get one , an email that is !!!!

Re: Ryanair
 

Fair enough about the crackers, I spose there is a chance in 10,000,000 they might ignite. The wrapped presents is crap, or cant the scanners get through it.
I am sure you will send them a nice Christmas email to let them know how you feel ;) ;)

Re: Ryanair
 

Anyone else flying out of Sevilla tomorrow night? To Stansted? We could meet up and pull all the discarded Xmas crackers.

Re: Ryanair
 

We are flying out from Jerez, for a short weekend. No christmas crackers for us. !!

Re: Ryanair
 

this ban on crackers ? does it include JACOBS CREAM CRACKERS :D

Re: Ryanair
 

They'll have a fight on their hands if they try to confiscate the turrón, mantecados and chocolate that are currently making up half of my 10kg hand luggage allowance!

Re: Ryanair
 

Said I would report, no problems either way, but our plastic carry bag for lliquidswas a bit too big, so chap at Alicante just transferred it to one of correct size. only 6 people had priority boarding going out, so got decent seats as we were at the start of the queues and had an A on our boarding card. Cards are marked PB, A, B C or D as you book in, (Easyjet) A is for the first so many in the queue etc, PB board first, then A etc, and they do stop those with later letters going on early. Coming back, similar story, although Ryanair only give out Priority and others, so there is a bit of a scrum, and people trying it on by going in the priority queue were stopped, they stayed at the gate thinking they would get on first of the others, but the girls sent them to the back of the queue :D :D . Brought back plenty of biscuits and chocolate etc, no problems. Christmas Crackers, party poppers were, however banned as they are classed as explosive, cream crackers are OK. :D . Ban on drinks going through security is a rip off, they charge €1.50 for 500ml water airside in Alicante, and £1.75 at East Midlands, so who's making the profits? :mad:

Re: Ryanair
 

With the money they are making on the drinks, I can see it becoming permanent :(

I can remember a lot of people on the boot sales getting their party poppers confiscated cos they did not have a firework sales licence :rolleyes:

Re: Ryanair
 

Travelled from Stansted to Almeria with Ryanair in July and did the same route with Easyjet three weeks ago. On both occasions, everyone was boarding the flight but not sitting in the front row. Not sure why they were, but we sat there and didn't get moved on either trip. We were lucky enough to make two round trips with loads of leg room. We ae hoping for third time lucky when we fly out next time.
As for hand luggage, when we returned in mid-Nov, we had Manchego cheese, boquerones, chorizo all sorts of edibles in there and no-one at Almeria airport said anything but I couldn't take my mascara on-board! Very strange! :o

Re: Ryanair
 

YES,...Very strange, ....for a Fella.... :D :D

Re: Ryanair
 

We even brought sausages back with us, no problems. :beer: :beer:

Re: Ryanair
 

This will explain why....
AENA

Food stuffs don't explode!

Re: Ryanair
 

Try baked beans in a microwave :D :D

Re: Ryanair

Flatulence

But this is some good news

Baked Beans

Re: Ryanair
 

AHH,... There is nothing like playing at " Dutch Ovens " with your partner ! ! ! :D

Re: Ryanair
 

Funny links :D

Re: Ryanair
 

Back to the original subject which also comes up the Costa Esuri thread, Ryanair are really naughty about excess baggage, they seem to weigh your bags, accept them, then say you are overweight and have to pay, they give you a paper to take to the pay point, but hold onto your boarding cards, cases have already gone, so you can't do what many people do and transfer some things out of the checked in stuff to hand luggage, witnessed many people suffering having to pay excess, but perhaps that's because they only allow 15kg whereas Easyjet allow 20. Another way you 'pay' for booking a cheap fare. Look carefully at their publicity, they claim to be the 'cheap fares' airline, not the cheap FLIGHTS. We've just looked at flights early next year, can get the the UK, two people for £3 per fare, but when you add it up it equivalents to £46 after taxes etc are added on, Easyjet, with a much higher fare, work out to £47, because of the lower peripheral taxes and additions

Re: Ryanair
 

Talking Airlines add on`s THOMPSON from Coventry to Alicante,outward fights in January for £8.57 and return for £2.37, but with tax included it works out at £58.95 !( total ,both ways ) :cool:
