Ryanair what do I think?


It's been 1 year I been travelling with Ryanair I like to share what do I think of Ryanair. I first travel with Ryanair in Easter Monday 2012 from Bournemouth, United Kingdom I found out Ryanair announced they started flying in Malta where I'm from. Ryanair first flew to Malta on 15h November 1989 in British registration G-BNIJ named "Spirit of Europe". When Ryanair stop flying to Malta from Bournemouth till October I start flying from London Gatwick or Heathrow with Air Malta, EasyJet or British Airways.

I now normally fly Bournemouth, UK because I live in Portsmouth not far from, Southampton & Isle of Wight for Ryanair customers to travel EU flights. What do I think about the prices? I think Ryanair made a good idea trying to be the cheapest European Airline in the world to compete not only other European airlines Ryanair try to compete with Aer Lingus & EasyJet believe it or not.

What do I think the cabin? Well to be honest it looks odd because the other head lockers, top seats and big yellow with Ryanair logo from row 1 till the back of the aircraft is not my favorite colour. The couple of strange things is the safety card and life jackets let's start with safety card. Safety card is located top of the seat in front of you not many airliners have that but it's also useful to read it again encase the event of emergency normally safety card is located seat pocket but Ryanair don't have it... And life jacket is located above your head instead under the seat I think on row 1 is located under the seat I think it's a good idea because you get strange people take life jacket out under the seat without cabin crew's notice.

Problem with Ryanair when they arrive in different EU countries it's one of those airliners when passengers gets out the plane the airport gate starts boarding for departures. I'll explain one thing I found out not long ago when I was boarding my flight from Bournemouth to Malta I notice there were few sweet rappers in the seats and floor cabin crew or ground staff did not clean the plane probably... 



I did have rough landings 3 months ago in 2 journeys the plane was coming in too fast in Malta as well as Bournemouth, UK. Well funny thing is when I landed in Bournemouth we come down too fast after another rough landing after I got out the plane the flight back to Malta was delayed for 3 and a half hours I don't know if it was a rough landing issue but recently we landed very smooth. 


I wish you can check-in normally in the desk without going on the internet to enter your passport or EU national ID Card because for an elderly person there not into moddern technology. You can check-in at the desk but you have to have a main luggage when you pay around £25 one way or both journeys I think online and print your boarding pass. With boarding pass you have to print it from the internet I think it's not a good idea because if you made an error from your passport like incorrect document number or expiry date you will refuse to travel so my tip is to read your passport correctly and see it match because when you done it, you can't change your passport details unlike EasyJet if you wish to travel with a passport or EU ID card.

Another problem with Ryanair is at the departure gate the baggage policy is laptop cases, handbags, camera and food etc must be in ONE hand luggage and the weight must be 10kg MAX if your overweight you pay £60/€60 fine... A problem with laptops not only it can be a bit heavy it make hand luggage cause to be heavy. I don't complain with food because I'm not a big fan of budget airline food only Air Malta I love.


What do I give Ryanair? I give it a 6.8/10 would I fly with Ryanair in different European flights? Yes I will but not to Malta all the time.
