Video of woman being removed from Ryanair plane sparks demand for boycott

i'm sorry to see people so abused. However, that young lady seemed to be well able to handle herself, she had several bags, and was making no effort to transfer items into one, and did she not read the airline policy, which, God knows, restrictive though it is, is widely distributed? As for the plane going to Riga, I don't know what went on, but the passengers seemed to be clapping - who were they clapping for, and why? Is it possible that the prisoner deserved to be arrested? I travel all the time on Ryanair, and I don't get any frills, but I'm not expecting any. Only one comment: airport shops should carry notices saying that Ryanair will confiscate extra items carried on board.......

Seamus i have travelled with Ryanair many many times over the last 10 years and i have never witnessed anything like this. They still charge the add ons, even with these Ryanair fares can be 50% to 75% cheaper. They have a young fleet of aircraft, im flying with Ryanair in 2 weeks to Dublin and i paid £28 return, BA wanted £149 Aerlingus £108. City Jet £180, i know what i want to pay.

Disturbing. But then again she was only a woman.

I have flown with Ryanair many times and although I would have plenty to criticise about its business model, I have to honestly say that I have never witnessed any discourtesy on the part of any staff to passengers!!

Bobby. cheap at half the price just as long as you are prepared to watch people being abused during your trip. Just be prepared cause no frills means no frills and or manners. Are they now taking it out on passengers because they have been stopped in their tracks on their ripp off add ons at arrivals.

€50 for a return flight from Dublin/London to Barcelona, with Iberia airlines it is from €170 return.

In defense of Ireland, it´s unfair and inaccurate to call RyanAir an Irish airline. I´ve flown with them a few times, and most of the staff seeemed to be Polish. The company has done some good things, but it really is rapacious capitalism at its worst.
