Ryanair

Well I am soooooooo glad I read all these comments about Ryan Air as I was just about to book my annual holiday to Faro, along with a few friends but after the rip off experience we had last year we shall be flying Easy Jet (I will of course check up on their feedback before I book) about 1 month ago via web

You've got to be kidding Ryanair. I order 4 tickets with one credit card but get charged 4 credit card fees. Ridiculous. This dishonesty about pricing pervades the whole organisation. Surely over time, you'll lose customers for it? Or the regulator will do something? about 1 month ago via web

Ryanair have just cancelled our flights back from Ireland in March because they are discontinuing that route. We were given 2 choices: 1. seek a refund (but this wouldn't have included the transaction charges that we had to pay for 6 of us) or 2. Ring to get the flight swapped to an alternative route. The call cost 10 pence per minute and I was kept on hold for a total of 20 minutes. They have found yet more ways to make money from people via stealth charges! Don't book with them if at all possible!!!! 2 months ago via web

Whilst Ryan air charge crazy amounts on top of their published fares for everything you need when you travel I am more annoyed that they do not allocate seat numbers when you check-in. At the moment, there is a mass rush to get on the plane and find seats together. 3 months ago via web

Ryanair named "worst family brand" 'partly because many parents see the company as putting profit before caring... and its extra hidden costs'

On the other hand "budget travel enables more families to go on holiday in the first place"

"Seatbelts can be purchased for $5..."

It's sexist and disgusting. Another reason for me not to fly ryanair, which I thought couldn't get any more lowrent. Oh, how wrong I was. 3 months ago via web

"Ryanair has flown straight into a new media storm over its 2010 charity calendar which features its own scantily clad employees. The National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) has slammed the airline as “irredeemably old-fashioned” and accused it of a “serious lack of imagination.”

In response, the boss of Ryanair Michael O’Leary said the calendar was empowering for women and said the NWCI didn’t have “a clue how young women empower themselves.”

To be honest, the fact that a bunch of stewardesses are prancing around jet engines half naked doesn't really bother me. Pirelli and other types of companies have been doing this type of stunt for years, although I'm more in favor of Pirelli as it actually has some style - but this is ryanair after all. Budget airline, budget pin-ups - but I digress. The only thing that bothers me about this story is that Michael O'Leary claims this calender 'empowers young women'

'Empowering' young women through nudity has been a byline for playboy and other such publications for decades, and I'm starting to wonder what the hell empowered means?

Chicks are naked. Men like it. Men buy it, money goes to charity. I have no issue with this. But let's not dress this up (or take the dress off as the case may be) with pseudo post feminism and brand it as 'empowering'. Let's all be clear: it's lowbrow spankbank material designed for young lads taking a budget holiday to Lanzerote. That's cool, whatever; but this isn't exactly going to get the ERA passed anytime soon. Come on! 3 months ago via web
