Overall conclusion:
Ryanair is a friendly ultra-low cost airline, however, I'd personally avoid them on flights longer than 2-3 hours. Regardless, they have made significant improvements within the last 5-10 years by expanding their route network, taking delivery of new aircraft with enhanced legroom and quieter cabins, namely the Boeing 737 MAX family which burns less fuel than the NG family. One of the improvements I highly appreciate is the fact that they have relocated from Skavsta to Arlanda Airport which is closer to the city of Stockholm, generally more convenient and easier to access for passengers. Ryanair has done an excellent job by opening up several new routes and bases from larger and busier airports to attract more customers and opening up many new opportunities. Will definitely fly with Ryanair again in the future, but only short-haul.

Love the sound!

Nice video my friend 👍🏼✈️

As a Swede, I am so thankful and satisfied Ryanair finally made the decision to leave Skavsta for the true and only Stockholm airport Arlanda. Also it makes me satisfied they actually use the jet bridges at ARN and that Swedavia didn't accepted a "special offer". Now, as Stockholm ARN is my primary airport there are suddenly plenty of airlines to choose from now!

Were u not afraid of the max

[@munkboyaviation]

Nah not at all

[@justdancegold5211]

was it a good seat related to window placements? I think I'll catch a sunset and I was just curious about this seat

[@munkboyaviation]

Yeah I think it's fine

[@pretentiousarrogance3614]

how would you rate the comfort(?) of that seat out of 10?

[@munkboyaviation]

Maybe a 5? The old Ryanair seats are only slightly more comfortable.

[@Victor-oz3zo]

How does the Ryanair 737MAX8200 compare to the 737-800? Is the seat pitch smaller?

[@munkboyaviation]

I'm not 100% sure but it seems to me that they're the same.

[@mstrmren]

It's actually two inches less legroom per seat

[@Sr68720]

Its smaller by 2 inches, which sounds not to bad, but it is massive, never fly the new airplane if you have legs.

[@ben-ih1ox]

Ryanair using an air bridge?

[@munkboyaviation]

They use it at some airports
