This is Ryanais we're talking about here - what do you expect from a pig but a grunt? Nevertheless, Ryanair provides a service with an attitude and of a sort that people are willing tolerate. It used to be good value, that is now questionable.

This article is about Ryanair Customer Service, and not reactionary political violence to the injustices of imperialism. Posters should resist the dubious temptations to extrapolate to indulge their self-righteous neo-colonial propaganda. The passenger in question could have asked one of the flight attendants to rinse out her used colostomy bag for recycling. Low payed staff of low fared airlines don't tend to be happy campers being exploited. Have flown Ryaniar to Malta and back last year and found them top class personally. Some people get off on whinging, though I do suspect IrishCentral is on a retainer for frequently reporting human interest stories as secondary commercial advertisement.

irishpjk Why am I down on O'Leary? Simple. Ryanair is a crappy airline that has some of the rudest staff ever. There is a reason why it ranks just above Goryo airlines (the offical airline of North Korea) in terms of quality, service, etc. It's not even good enough to be MIAT (Mongolian Air).

"Irishpjk" - I am not "down on Michael O'Leary" at all. I simply asked what do you expect, as it's Ryanair we're talking about. Ryanair do NOT apologise. Not not NOT. Regardless. Period. Never. Éamonn, Dublin.

With all the horror stories about Ryanair, why do people still patronize them? Is saving a few quid/euro/bucks worth it? Or is it that some people want a good survival yarn? ("They double booked my seat so I had to fly from Shannon to San Fransico hanging from the overhead on a bungee cord, but it only cost the price of a cheese sandwich!")

OK it was an old lady, but in order to not have profilign behavior, all must go by rules that were set up for instances like this. A colostomy bag sounds like the perfect item for a terrorist to claim a need for. The woman failed to get it cleared. To protect me and others, I'm glad Ryan Air follows security guidelines. Yes, it is hard because the lady was older, but these times we have to treat everyone the same or receive claims of profiling.

We will be making a trip to Ireland next year and I guarantee you it won't be with Rynair! This woman has a classic law suit!
