I actually appreciate Ryanair for being transparently money grabbing because you consistently know what you're getting every time. They're very reliable and you can mentally budget in what you'll have to deal with.

Airlines like Lufthansa, United, etc for me are much worse.



Also Ryanair is the only thing keeping all the nationally subsidized airlines even somewhat honest when it comes to pricing. If they didn't exist, flying would be significantly more expensive. Glad they're here.


Actually I'm pretty sure that's lack of tax on jet fuel and all the ridiculous taxpayer funded subsidies that airlines get that keeps prices low.

Its crazy that in the UK the train is like £100 but a flight can be had for £20. Utterly corrupt. Bonkers.


> If they didn't exist, flying would be significantly more expensive.

Surely, flying was significantly more comfortable before Ryanair!


I wouldn't know, I could never afford it!


I love that it's so unreliably trustworthy that it winds up being, in a way, trustworthy.


Is that like saying the Nazis are preferable over the Soviets because they are more consistently evil?

Fwiw, i disagree 100%.
