RYANAIR PUT TO THE TEST - ARE RYANAIR AS BAD AS THEIR REPUTATION - EUROPE'S WORSE AIRLINE... REALLY?

[@eoghanbracken7312]

Steve, my comment is that you are a legend. A huge amount of work went into this video. Hopefully you get back to Spain soon

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Lol thanks Eoghan! Yes, I can't be faulted for effort 😊. Oh I'd love to be back, and in Torrevieja I think! I'm not sure when it will happen but it will. Thanks mate 👍😊

Before ai moved to Spain and was back and forthing, I used to pack my two girls and partner a big packed lunch. Never bought food on planes. Ryanair never gave me an issue but in all these airlines they need to sort those horrible bolt upright seats out. After every trip it takes days for my back to stop being agony. They could at least have the first row of seats so they recline.

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

They are uncomfortable, if you look at them closely you'll notice they are very skinny, no reclining mechanism, more room more seats on the plane, cheaper seats. I'm afraid the uncomfortable seats are here to stay 😶

Hi Steve Good video keep them coming!

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

[@chrissybreege4602]

I am in agreement - it's cheaper to fly to another country with Ryanair than to use the carpark at my local airport! I am fortunate enough to have flexibility and always travel with hand luggage only. I buy an annual travel insurance policy and try to use public transport to get to airport. When travelling with someone or a group - I do feel the need to pay to sit next to someone I know just for a couple of hours. I am grateful that we have the option of using Ryanair as big airlines (eg BA) do not use my regional airport direct to the routes I want.

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Couldn't agree more, it's a matter of ensuring you do everything possible to minimise costs and Ryanair and a few others let you do that!

[@Mai-hb8ij]

I have never had an issue with Ryanair. I’ve flown numerous times with them. Never paid for add ons and always got exactly what I expected… a cheap flight with minimal fuss ( and minimal baggage!😂)

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Ditto 🤣

[@user-lv1ic1ix5j]

Hi Steve I agree 100 per cent. Follow their rules & never a problem I 🎉I remember paying over 200 pounds in the 1980s to go to the aUK

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Yep, flying is the one thing that has consistently gone down in price over the years and long may it continue, I'm happy to put that little bit of effort in when booking! 😊

[@WattsOccurring]

Great video....loved your airport, brilliant effort 😜 We think all budget airlines are out to catch you with hidden extras/charges. If you stick by their rules all will be fine. Great deal you had for 55 euros, as long as you know what you're doing when booking. Most complaints are by people who abuse the rules. We've never had an issue with Ryanair 👍

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! I'm worried everyone will think I'm loosing my marbles with the airport lol so glad you liked it. Yes, with budget airlines, great deals are to be had as long as your careful. I wish that logic applied to lots of other services! 😊👍

[@alveendavis5175]

Enjoyed your video on Ryan Air .. my eldest son always travels Ryan Air to Malaga with his young family often . He’s my boy 🤣, who loves a bargain 🥴🥴😎 however, I have just travelled with jet2 to Almaria using their airport assist for my 87 year old pop and they were amazing … if you you book airport assist they don’t charge for you choosing your seats on their planes …. It’s a win win with a cherry on the top ..as Scatz would say from you too spain you tube channel…👍

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I hadn't heard of Jet2s airport assist! That's good to know, my own dad is 91 and asking to go on a final trip abroad. 😊👍💚

[@alveendavis5175]

Your dad does no way look that old 🙈 take him away if you can …I was really apprehensive taking my pop on his jollies … I met up with friends in Mojacar and my pop has had a amazing week ..he doesn’t want go home …my two boys gave me grief for taking him away cus he said he wasn’t. Looking forward to his hols …hey ho…. It’s like having little ones all over again 😂😂😂

I traveled once with Ryan Air many years ago and had no issues, Dolly Parton 😂😂😂😂

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Lol, it was indeed 🤣😂

[@PhilHiggins-jn9bl]

Stick to Ryanair term and conditions and never buy food on Plane to your destination. I find Ryanair very good Website very easy to navigate. Ryanair has opened up Europe for me and Thousands like me. I agree with your Comments about Ryanair. How your Dad keeping?? Hope to meet up with you in Torrevieja sometime

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Hi Phil, yeah, they are exactly what budget Travelers need, long may they continue. Dad is ok, health wise he is much better but recently got diagnosed dementia but he's in good form, oblivious to a lot of it. Oh, I wish I was back in Spain, I miss it more than I expected! I just need to patient, the time will come 😊👍 We'll have a coffee when I get back ☕

[@PhilHiggins-jn9bl]

Sorry to read about your Father illness. My own mother had it for 7 years. I would not wish it on my worse enemy. Stay strong for your Father well being.. Be good Steve we will have that Coffee some time. @@TheRamblingIrishman

Hi Steve . I've only just started flying with Ryan Air. I havnt had any problems. a few minor delays. but keep to the guidelines and you will be fine. However there were two very ropey landings. One time the passengers did that, clapping for the pilot after landing. I didnt i also though the clapping was because we got down safe . 😂. But in all , they were fine. I have noticed, Aer Lingus Slipping , planes not so clean and broken seats, that give you about 2 inches of face room , when the passenger ahead decides to recline, never mind trying to eat something . looking down on the A-hole asleep infront of you , but they are another cut price airline. So what are the Charges on Steve Air ? I wouldnt mind paying the extra , for Sombereo head room. 😁. Any how Love To Molly and Buster. Hope all is well 😁. ( Rumour has it , you only went to Paris , for the cheaper 4 pack bars the had in LIDL ). ( Sorry cant remember what they were 🤔)

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

Hi Loftus, I hope all's well with you. I've had a couple of ropey landings too but in really bad weather and I survived lol. Around five years ago I taught a 17 year old to drive, first lesson on his 17th birthday yet already had his pilots licence and had started training with easyJet, qualified and started flying commercial flights when he was 18! He looked like he was around 14! He was so good in the car, I imagine he wouldn't have too many bumpy landings in a plane lol. Steve air prices are very good and you get a wee dram of whisky included! Molly is doing well, Buster bit another person recently but is also fine. Ps I did but Lidl snickers and I think they were 1.89 euro lol 😊

[@ingo.loftus8471]

@@TheRamblingIrishman Jeezs your the only man that would run a Marathon for a Snickers! ( did you see what I did there ! 🤣). Yes 18 year olds flying planes. I was beginning to think , that place at the front of the plane was a crèche 🥴. (Did I say Plane ? Sorry, I was reprimanded while in Team Are Lingus , for calling it a plane, apparently it's an air craft ). Dah !. Ok I have a scenario: your on a plane ( aircraft). The pilot and co pilot are incompasitated. And they are looking for someone to land the aircraft. Do you stand up and say. "Sure I could do that , I taught a pilot how to drive " 🤣. ( getting ready for your next video , I haven't seen it all but the answers are , Yes , for some people, F**k no and are you pulling your own pints back there 🤣).

[@TheRamblingIrishman]

@@ingo.loftus8471 😂🤣😂🤣 My answer is very very slightly better than "because I taught a pilot", it's because I taught a pilot and I had a single flying lesson in a Cessna! And.... even without my vast experience, I'd still be the one to volunteer to have a go! The way I see it, if I got everyone down safely I'd be a hero and if I crashed and killed everyone I'd be the hero that died trying to save everyone... almost a win win except for the dead part 😊

[@ingo.loftus8471]

Calm down there Sully Sullenberg 😂. 11:30 mins into the video. I assume thats your concience on your right shoulder . Jeez I've never seen a concience so hungry . ' A good job she wasn't eating fastfood. You really would have had a chip on you're sholder then 😅
