Is there a more annoying airline than Ryanair? I only ever use them as a last resort. Everything they do appears to be designed to wind their passengers up.
Their maximum cabin bag size is slightly smaller than other airlines, so if you`re not checking in hold luggage, you need a new set of cabin baggage. And if you want to carry out your online check-in, you have to reserve your seats - at a cost, of course - otherwise you can`t check in until the day before.
People still use them because fares are competitive, but by the time you get through all the add ons, you`re left wondering why you bothered, unless like me, there`s no other suitable direct flights when I want to fly.
Not your average Sunday League player.

Flew for 30 years and absolutely avoid them. BA are cheaper booked in advance and you donβt have the hassle. The worst thing about Ryanair is they employ the nippiest woman with the nippiest voices for check in and gate calls. Horrible airline with horribly behaved staff. Apologies if anyone works for Ryanair, other opinions are available π. The pilots do have a lot of experience in bad weather conditions because as every other airline diverts, when Ryanair are in the air they will get you to your destination through the most atrocious weather.
Many great stories of flying all over the world with many various airlines, but with Ryanair there has never been or will be any good stories.

Ryanair`s hand luggage was designed to basically be what "hand luggage" used to be - a wee backpack or handbag. They`ve actually just increased the size slightly.
My last experience of Ryanair was pretty good tbh. What I did notice was LOTS of mainly older people paying no regard to the single piece of hand luggage policy. None were picked up on it, which may have just been lucky as I`ve seen plenty complaints about Ryanair baggage.
My bigger bugbear is the 20kg rather than 23kg allowance. We`re rarely near 23kg but that pressure to have it under 20 is intense, especially as the gits will charge you a few quid per kilo over.
Jet2 are the creme de la creme of budget airlines (nothing beats a Jet2 holiday...) but they`re often far dearer than Ryanair.
