    I totally agree, spot on.

    I believe that wars and nature will sort this out before long.

    Global warning? Nucleur war? It is only a matter of time!

    The “gal” knew the risks – it was a wild animal she was playing with – it shouldn’t have been in captivity in the first place!

    Our Gee it is nice to see someone who isn’t Ryanair bashing. Like you, I have never had a problem and always found them to be very efficient.

    At the end of the day you get what you pay for and nobody forces you to fly with them! The website spells out the true cost of the flight before you hit “confirm” so the total cost is not exactly hidden!

    It is a harsh commercial world out there, especially amongst the airlines, and when you see how many have recently gone to the wall, it is good to see one that is truly profitable!

    Good luck to them.

    I have never hidden my dislike for this type of airline and as a point of principle I refuse to fly on any of them. However the people who DO fly on them strangely seem to expect to be treated the same as those flying on full service carriers such as BA, Lufthansa etc and expect the same passenger welfare regimes that the passengers on the full service airlines enjoy….extraordinary! With this type of “airline” as with a bus or train operator you pay your fare which, according to the Ryanair business model, gets you the right to place your bum on the seat and thats it. Do you find bus and train companies puting people up in hotels and/or providing a free meal in the event of disruption? A shame that these passengers had to learn the hard way. Goodness knows I’m not defending Ryanair and its own interpretation of traditional passenger service obligations but people really have got to wake and smell that wretched coffee. You pay peanuts for the seat then you WILL be treated like monkeys. Don’t use ’em!

    I quite agree. However unlike BA (cabin crew strike) and Lufthansa (pilots strike) at least Ryanair don’t have strikes!

    Quite interesting that passengers rate the comfort on the climb performance.
    Fun fact: the A340 needs only a few minutes more than the A330 (if both are operated at the same route/payload).

    Hmm, maybe that “certain something” can be retrofitted?
    If you prefer B737, than the direction seems to be less space and 1950ies design?

    I must admit when I took off from Delhi on a Jet Airways A340-300 I thought it was never going to leave the ground. He must have used every inch of runway!

    In fairness, you don’t expect men of that sort of age to go around plane spotting.

    Had they been young lads, it would be a lot more understandable!

    “The airplane continued to Warsaw for a safe landing”

    This sort of comment always amuses me. Why shouldn’t it have had a safe landing?

    No, of course it wasn’t but, the revenge, in anger, is equally uncivilised. It’s a trite cliche, but two wrongs do not make a right. So, you are obviously in favour of capital punishment, and presumably the perpetrator would have to die in the same manner in which he or she killed. And perpetrators of GBH would be beaten up before being imprisoned, I suppose.

    You won’t be too happy when Sharia law is eventually fully introduced into the UK then?
