Ryannair ! Try competing with United's "Sardine Special" from Seattle to Chicago, or the "Pressed Ham" from San Francisco

WHICH MAGAZINE IS RIGHT RYANAIR ARE TERRIBLE BUT THEY ONLY FLY TO THE UK AND EUROPE SO I WOULD HARDLY SAY THEY ARE THE WORST... I THINK AMERICAN AIRLINES ARE THE WORST AND ALSO AIR CANADA ARE A DISASTER.........

The answer is easy enough for anyone who doesn't like Ryanair. Just fly with someone else.

And yes, Silling, I did notice the blond pickpocket in the photo. Probably Ryanair ground staff "extracting" the last few Euro! :)

Yes but no frills should never include rude, obnoxious and insulting behavior which I have witnessed by Ryanair ground staff many times. I will never fly them again for that reason.

Ryanair does what it it says on the can; cheap and cheerless travel. Unfortunately,this attitude is refflected in Rynair's employees. I recognisee its limitations and use it as it is advertised; a no frills service.

@Schlomo, Ryanair carry passengers from all over Europe not just Irish. Which? is a British based company.

The usual Irish verbal bully tactics. Complain about something but continue to support it because it's CHEAP. If people were really honest they'd boycott RyanAir and put it out of business. But that'll never happen.

. . . don't know why you persist in excoriating a service firm that serves its clientele that returns again and again to use its services: Perhaps Aer Lingus could learn a thing or two . . . or . . . more by agreeing to permit Ryanair to purchase them . . . .

People like to complain about Ryanair alot, but they still fly with them. The airline carries over 80 million passengers a year. I flew with them to Dublin last month and paid £36 return. No complaints.

I don't mind tolerating a few things if it means saving several hundred euro on a family (2 adults / 2 kids) flight. And I'm going to attend a function in Belgium in January and the final total return ticket price was €64 (including the insurance option)with Ryanair. So I appreciated the savings!
