Ryanair

[elvis]

Does anybody know if you get to board first with kids on ryanair, or do you have to pay ?

[JohnnyH]

You don't get to board first. Just get one of yoru party to buy a priority boarding pass for a couple of quid (£4 I think) and then go on board and hold the seats you need.

Cheesr johnny, is there any way of knowing how full the flight is other than trying to book a dozen or so people on same flight?

[rondeco]

those priority boarding passes are a load of bollox. everyone buys it as it is only 4 quid so you get no priority at all.

 

Just to clarify: Ryanair give you absolutely fucking nothing.

[JohnnyH]

Except a flight to your destination. Which is kind of the point.

[Edward.]

And a nice welcome at Dublin Airport.

[Edward.]

..and free tickets to Champions League finals.

[JohnnyH]

Ha ha. Still bitter! If I'd got another one I'd have given it to you mate.

[Edward.]

Ah well there's always next year.

[JohnnyH]

I'm just on my way to the Bloody Stream now. I'll have a pint for you. You need to get over here for another weekend lad.

[Edward.]

I do, but right now don't have a pint for me you may well throw it back up again, have a pint for me in a couple of hours.

Cheap flights have pros and cons, we cant have it all ends up.

[JohnnyH]

True. It's just a bus service now. All the snobbery and £300 been the cheapest ticket for a flight from Liverpool to Dublin is gone now. But so has the free papers and drinks gone also. Give me the bus service and affordable travel any day. However, been in the industry I do lean towards the low cost given the shite I've seen from the so called full-service airlines who, by some distance, have much worse punctuality, many more lost bags, and much more expensive tickets then any of the low costs. In fact apart from a free paper I don't know what services these full-service carriers actually offer?

[Edward.]

 

Plus you get to shag this bird, or whichever one it was.

[thisisanfield]

Just check-in online!

[elvis]

Just check-in online!

 

I dont think you can if you have cases.

[Edward.]

JohnnyH'll tell you, they pay him a fortune to post on here.

Its a low cost airline, not a low fare airline as I found out to my expense. If you do some searching you can often find a rival airline offering a same price , if not cheaper ticket and a civilised service, whatever their website says.

 

The fuckers destroyed my luggage during transit by running over it with a truck, but because I had a camera in it they refused to give me any financial compensation (you have to tell them you are carrying a camera apparently). Not only that but they don't actually communicate with you by phone - everything has to be done by fax at your expense.

 

I now loathe that airline with a passion. Fortunately I have recovered the cost from them by other means and will continue to do so.

so , just to recap...you're not happy , is that correct?

correct, bastards wanted £8 to check in at the airport then £16 to check a bag in, so "cheap"* flight at 75 quid suddenly is a ton!

 

* is there such thing as a budget flight now? or is it just clever marketing?

[Karl_b]

Hang on, do I have to pay extra to check in with RyanAir? Have I misunderstood?

 

Edit - Did I pay it when I booked the flights?

 

Also, anyone know how much it costs for extra baggage allowance?

You used to be allowed 15kg + 10kg hand luggage (which is pretty generous). Excess baggage was about a fiver per kilo. I don't know if these have been changed though, it was last year.

[JohnnyH]

Still 15kgs hold and 10kgs hand baggage. But it's £12 per bag so weigh those bags and keep it low. Make sure you don't try and pile it all together as it's 15kgs per bag not per person.
