FASCINATING AIDA - Cheap Flights

[@Wherecharliegoes]

When she says "sad verse" and that guy laughs really loud, ahaha, brilliant!

[@odeon1161]

Must the same guy who laughs inappropriately at Peter Kay's Misheard Lyrics video. I love it

[@sirjambon]

Haha yes! Love it

[@innesita8110]

hahahaa the look she gave him as well ;-D

[@Tony.H03]

For me it's Dillie's look at him that just pushes me over haha

[@gisellehale9904]

Forever known as the "Ryanair song"

[@chicken_fillets]

indeed

[@mrtom2854]

...the emergency exits are located at the front and back of the plane, to use the emergency exits insert £2.50 and pull the handle. Alternatively, for £3 you can pay buy credit/debit card. If you are willing to go through the 2 hour process of paying online or by phone then there is a SPECIAL OFFER of £2.49. Same charges apply for the toilets. You can also purchase an instruction card in case of emergencies for ONLY 1 POUND! Thank you, for choosing Ryanair.

[@oskarskoubokeely5577]

Nah the feckin song

[@LucaDofus]

Add easyJet to that now

[@Sjmby95]

Or easy jet

[@jakeriddoch]

I just love the look Dillie Keane gives the audience when they laugh at her announcement of the "sad verse" :D

[@svikelt]

It was the look of utter betrayal. To convey such expression on the spot when you're just messing around means a feckin' lot.

[@lauraforrester2910]

I love that they refer to Stansted as “the arse of the world”. It’s so true. This kills me

[@icdas7158]

Laura Forrester oh it is

[@etpc2023]

Or Gatwick

[@1takewatsongirl]

"If you haven't paid to use the steps you'll have to feckin' jump!" I love this so much. Seriously - amazing :) xxxx

[@elliottmanley5182]

That has line has extra pleasure for me, having, several decades ago, hitched a ride across Africa in a cheapskate cargo plane. Everywhere we landed, the airport trucks would hurtle across the tarmac to bring up steps only to be waved away by our crew who would then drop a step ladder out of the door. Apparently the step service is exhorbitantly expensive.

[@romwell]

@@elliottmanley5182 did they also come at you aggressively offering to wash windows? And did the crew grumpily wave them away as well? :D

[@Drunken_SeaGoat]

“If you haven’t prepaid to use the stairs, you’d have to flexing jump!” 10/10. Incredible!

[@Patmofar]

The almost lost art of cabaret. Thank you for such wonderful entertainment. And Ryanair are still the same twenty one years later. To offer something in their defence, at least they are consistent. Again thank you.

[@annamcguirk4479]

My Mum just got off a Ryanair flight where they charged her an extra £75 for having luggage the 'wrong size.' I showed her this - it made her day!

[@spencerwilton5831]

La Tendresse it's a stupidity tax, for people too thick or lazy to read the perfectly clear instructions about case sizes.

[@Je-uq2wv]

Just got stung today. €55 each for not checking-in online (missed the window by 10mins). The check-in guy literally pressed two buttons and our boarding passes didn't even scan. Had to watch this to raise the spirits.

[@dexterford8094]

@@Je-uq2wv ... I tried to book a flight with Jetstar online and all went well until I had to put in my 3 digit security number found on the back of my credit card. Transaction kept getting refused by the bank. Tried 3 times. All failed. I rang the bank to find out what was wrong with my card and he said the security code was wrong. I tried again on the Jetstar website and it still did not work even though I check 5 times to make sure the 3 digit number was correct. It was. I rang the Jetstar call centre to tell them their web site was not working correctly and that I really needed to book this flight before all the seats were sold. He said he could book it for me and I said thanks for the help. Then he told me it would be an extra $100 because I did not book online. I could have strangled him. To top it off, my return flight with Jetstar 6 weeks later was cancelled and I almost got in trouble because I was about to overstay my visa before the replacement flight was available. At least the flight was not at 5am.

[@libby6272]

This has lived rent free in my head for half a decade now and I’m sure it will continue to for many more to come

[@romwell]

A decade for me, and still relevant as ever

[@Seanforfor]

British born Irish like me...brilliant..I love the way she captures enough of the Irish character to highlight its comic quality and irony without mocking it or slipping into stereotypes...good stuff...

[@danielplayfair3596]

Seanforfor jeez, Northern Ireland Ryanair flights cost 25 quid, not that good, for price, Flybe is somehow better for small flights

[@jameselkins7022]

Fabulous group. I have been a musician all my long life and rarely hear such brilliant comedy performance. The Kangaroo Song was my favorite and not simply because I'm Australian. Eat your heart out Rolf Harris.

[@pollyfoofoo8703]

'Sad verse', the laugh, and the look. Always slays me LOL

[@Tony.H03]

Yes honestly Dillie's comic timing in her facial expressions cheer up any glooming day, but this is the best by far

[@jess_hinz]

buying a flight to dublin at the moment with ryanair so obviously had to come back to this song. so fecking brilliant, gets me every time!!!

[@kmarritt]

I saw the show at the Edinburgh Fringe last night and as a result of the sheer brilliance of the performance bought the DVD. These women are so talented and the songs had me in tears with laughter. Absolutely fantastic. Buy the DVD for all your family especially to see your Granny's face when she listens to Dogging.

[@DeirdreCatherineDoyle]

Ah well ... if they managed in Edinburgh GOOD ON YOU ALL

[@Oliverkavanagh2108]

I've watched this so many times now and I know all of the lyrics off by heart 😂

[@dannorth4967]

Just had a really shit flight with Ryanair. Immediately watched this when I got off the plane and laughed so much 😂😂

[@mariemcnamee1]

I love watching this if I'm ever feeling a wee bit sad. makes me pmsl every time

[@red1dev]

Clever, funny, and in these recessionary times guaranteed to raise a smile. These ladies are a breath of fresh air.

[@harryaldworth4546]

ABSOLUTELY FECKING BRILLIANT!!! Loved it each time I've watched it!!! Bloody hilarious!

[@robinisnotkawaii3341]

I swear I looked up Ryan Air song and this is the first thing that came up 😂

This needs an extra verse about "Live Chat" and "Customer Support" now.

[@AkashaLonsdale-Deighton]

Side-splittingly funny and so clever. I love them....

[@stu176mmm]

Superb ladies!

[@jennifermcdonough7881]

It just doesn't get old!

[@no5eyparker]

This is the best thing I have seen in decades! Good on the Brits!

[@Butlinsgvn6]

This is so wonderful. I’m reminded of this song every few years and have to rewatch. On a technical note it’s interesting that the audience doesn’t seem to know when the song is over, and applauds too early - probably because each verse ends by hitting the tonic, which sounds final

[@avidsquarehead]

Yes, I noticed that. I wonder why FA did that?

[@Shaddow798]

​@@avidsquareheadit seems like it was intentionally done to add dramatic effect and to confuse the audience

[@carlhorton6833]

Watched you tonight in Stafford, laughed until I cried.......fantastic !!

[@jean-francoisdecoster7015]

The "heart thump"! That drummer just taught everyone how attracting focus is done. Masterpiece.

[@Luubelaar]

Who in the hells could click a "dislike" for this??? Maybe they all work for Ryanair? Utterly brilliant. :)

[@ruthcrumpton3393]

Just paid sixty euro worth of extras on a fifteen euro flight, so listening to this to improve my temper!

[@claremacna]

A real hoot! The tears were streaming down my face as I watched it and they still do every time.

[@Momoofx]

“if you haven't payed to use the jumps you have to fecking jump!" brilliant!!😂

[@odhranoshea6269]

Nessa Aren't they English?

[@user-gu9ff3jg4t]

Odhrán Ó Sé they’re british and Irish

[@Goodchappy]

You meant steps not jumps.

[@CiaranMeagher]

This is absolutely hysterical!!!! Wonderful, talented - brilliant!

[@dbertobis]

Should be Ryanair's hymn. Next time I fly Ryanair I will sing it throughout the flight

[@Brownalebelly]

"cos how the feck are you supposed to pay if not with fecking plastic!?" BRILLIANT!!! I am wiping the tears of laughter away as I type. So fecking true!!! Great performance :-))))

[@Tenorgeiger]

"It doesn't matter if you sing out of tune so long as you're German" I loved it. Hilarious.

[@DeirdreCatherineDoyle]

German language DID my head in! LITERATURE SO WONDERFUL. So tricked my best friend as we won this scholarship with the French. First lesson was GERMAN! Love the Literature by the by ... so I did it. Auf Deutsch ... with her scary monocle in place ... 'she replied you have a marvellous German accent, she mentioned place somwhere oop nurth Germany. Wanted to die. Back to German and auf Deutsch. I do not believe the Germans/Austrians/Swiss have ever managed to win Eurovision song contest. Maybe, should have done a re-take on Dietrich?

[@adamstringer7092]

When I saw them the audience started clapping along. They told us to stop because the English have no sense of rhythm.

[@CarolineLockMusic]

In the words of Dillie.. "No, don't fucking clap along!"

[@benjywesty7475]

Pretty sure they’re Irish though 😐

[@gmun2248]

benjy westy that's the point It's actually the same (similar) rhythm as Scottish music that uses a 'scotch snap' (if you're musical it's an off the beat dotted quaver + half quaver... if I remember rightly). *I'm Scottish, sorry I don't know what it's called in Irish music or if it's exactly the same. ... off the beat rhythm though

[@nix1929]

benjy westy They’re all English actually. Dillie went to school with my Aunt in Surrey. I think her parents were Irish though.

[@kenthomson9562]

Sorry mate. The three women are all predominantly English.

[@lrishRebeI]

i can't believe these legends don't play in Ireland

[@999SilverDog]

hahaha!! I split my sides when I first watched this. Well done Aida trio, fantastic.

[@DeirdreCatherineDoyle]

My son Leo ADORES you and is following!!! The craic goes on.

[@alvinng7763]

Whoever wrote this is a genius. Fecking brilliant!

[@nicelizabeth8008]

The fact the main singer is English and does an amazing Irish accent is impressive 😂

[@twinkletoes.9968]

Her parents are Irish so that probably makes it easier for her.

[@abbeyharry1952]

Absolutely Brilliant !!!! Am Laughing So Much I Am Crying ! This Is Def Going In My Favs ! Have To Share It ! Thanks To My Beautiful Daughter Laura For Sharing This. Keep Smiling.

[@Only.ByGrace]

Hilarious 😂! Patiently waiting to see them live in 2021!

[@jallen4767]

My brother shared this vid on my Facebook wall and I never laughed so damn hard--you ladies are a riot!!!

[@blake2003]

So funny and so clever! Would love to see them live :-)

[@nicholasjames1451]

It's my favorite Fascinating aida song!!!!

[@ktm2079]

I’m a British-born Irish and I totally relate, including that they reference Kerry and Tralee which my Irish family live.

[@dominiquedv]

I didn't know fascinating Aida before and it is a good surprise for me. How to join fun and beautiful voices. You are really great!

[@wormswithteeth]

Saw them tonight in Cardiff. We love you ladies! XD

[@dandavies7805]

Saw Fascinating Aida last night, they're absolutely hilarious! Great night out.

[@nicholasbroun985]

I think we can all agree, that checking in at 5am for ANY flight is a feckin' load of crap! xD

[@muscleboi4use]

These ladies were FABULOUS this evening in London... thank you for making my Christmas!

[@margaretmccormack894]

I laughed so much the tears are still falling down my face

[@Goodchappy]

Well the whole DVD of this had me in stitches. How anyone can not find them funny is beyond me.

[@katiyeo]

Absolutely brilliant! Hilarious! Congrats and a big thank you for giving me a huge laugh! Few thing do these days, so it's a giant gift! Long live Sweet FA!

[@mystudios1052]

Just ripped off for a flight to Kerry from London. Gonna listen to this everyday to sooth the pain.

[@arthurpewtey]

Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

[@mycubatube]

Jeez, I nearly forgot to say I loved Aida bringing this act... Just A fecken One. Splendid.

[@Spiritualized13]

This is fecking quality; gets better every time!

[@RosiePosie2503]

Watched them in Birmingham last night - in the Front Row ... Fecking Fantastic ;-0 xxxx

[@CappainWill]

as an irishman who's listened to trad since i was about two, this is actually much better than i expected from brits

[@neilmckeeney6478]

A lot of Brits were born Irish and were brought up listening to Irish music.

[@audreyoreilly4055]

Never gets old!

[@peterchoo1036]

I like that funny laughter after "Sad Verse". 3:21 XDDD

[@michellejohnson3867]

I love these ladies and their very funny songs, nothing like it in my opnion xx

Fabulously smashing...and haven't most of us been there at one time or another? A new fan from Phoenix, AZ...

Fantastic - long time since I heard anything so funny.

[@1968PMR]

Superb in Leicester last night (apart from when the 'Blonde' forgot her words - ha - bloody brilliant recovery - I think that it was all set up.....)!! Thanks Ladies - Great Night!

[@st3fo204]

I’ve been hunting for this since new year’s.

[@Soulrelocation]

The truth told in style. Fantastic, had me laughing out loud. Thank you.

[@AyakaruJuuhachi]

Laughed tot ears the first time I heard this.. thanks

[@MaryCollin]

Absolutely superb. Laughed my socks off!

[@kiwipirate600]

It was hard to know why I was sent this until it got going.. feckin excellent!

[@Blackcountryjohn]

Thaks for Giving me the biggest laugh I have had in a Long time

[@markmac1690]

Feckin' awesome - Father Jack would be proud - You guys and that humour are one of the reasons i sometimes miss (d)Ireland!

[@UncleLance67]

This song went through my head when I flew Spirit Airlines.

I'm sitting on a ryanair plane right now, fuming with the stress of the experience and thinking of this. Two words. SPOT. ON.

[@maryallison4899]

Going to see them in a couple of weeks in the Edinburgh Fringe. Can't wait!

[@MrOp86]

thank you for the insight Michael O'Leary

[@jamesfoley4319]

Omg this one too just amazing 😻 xxx

[@Dori1951]

Watched Cheap Flights zillions of times (also the other version with subtitles which has justifiably received more hits as I think that the subtitles add even more flavour). Forwarded it to a number of people. Love it! I have paid extra to avoid flying a famous Irish airline headed by a Michael... though I admit they sometimes provide a good service to obscure airports that I need and that others don't. Just don't be fooled by any being near a major city.

[@monsterpopMusicFactory]

brilliant!

[@greatbritishmale]

Just realised they are touring again! Thankfully still seats going in London (all the good ones gone). Why wasn’t I on the mailing list?! So excited though.

[@khholli]

The best I have seen in a VERY LONG time! And oh so true!!!!!!

[@stretts]

Brilliant ! saw FA at Leamington Spa on Saturday and they were brilliant. Loved the song Criminal Union of Non TaxpayerS. When Dillie's speaker wouldn't work and had to be fixed, Sarah did a great ad-lib when she spotted an empty seat near the front, and found out than a member of that family had forgotten about the show, she then borrowed a mobile off the family and phoned the missing Tony. Had to be there to appreciate it. Loved the show - BIG THANKS

[@elizabethryan2217]

.. and as we heard this announcement, our hearts gave a terrible thump 💥! 😆

[@Knicksman76]

I flew Allegiant air here in the US after the feckin fees and taxes were figured my $99 ticket came to over $212. Tip #1 don't pay for priority boarding and "choose your seat" options. I saved $22 just not using these options... I got the seat that I would have paid $12 add'l to have and hell we all boarded at the same damn time. These ladies are feckin amazing... Makes me wanna do some dogging right now ;) thanks for the posts!

[@rockchik676]

Love this song!!!!!

[@1stgrelf]

Awesome as you ever were!!

[@luckilj]

Wonderfull ladies ! ! !

[@fIetzy44]

My hubby & I just got back from 6 months in the Alaskan wilderness. It was great... no TV, no radio, no newspapers. We just shut out the world. Still haven't looked at any news since we got back to Oregon 3 days ago. We love to take trips that are different than what most sheeple take. Today my husband said he found some great deals on flights to Libya & Japan, so I'm trying to decide which to take. Lord knows why the air fare’s so cheap, but it’ll be a great holiday, whichever one we choose.

[@trueandsimple]

Will see them in December - can't wait :)

[@HaFannyHa]

Brilliant! Always brilliant!

[@CJDJgamer]

Just came back to this after a few years, as trying to book a short winter break with my boy. A list of Ryanair flights from Stansted airport.....Feck off!
