Wait, Ryanair isn't awful??? 2 flights on the 737MAX 8-200

[@andrewhoult]

The problem with ryanair is the experience varies. Sometimes they load people onto gates waiting for others to get off a plane thats literally just arrived, sometimes the seats are hard because the cushion has been impacted with heavy use, older 737's suffer from this badly imho. The landings vary too, but then thats expected, weather, pilot skill, luck :) The second landing you had there was very smooth indeed. Given the price though, can you complain much? Ryanair gets people places which they might not otherwise afford, in that sense, they are a Godsend.

You are very right!

Hi Gabe, I just found your channel and I am absolutely amazed by your production quality even though you just started out. As a very, very small Aviation KZbinr myself I know how much, time, money and effort goes into all of that. I really appreciate it and see you as a huge inspiration. Keep up the great work and your channel is going to take off (pun intended).

Hey, thanks a lot, your comment means a lot!

Good question on the exit row. Had an entire exit row in an Alaska Max 9 to myself a couple days ago and was wondering the same thing.

[@airedition]

Gotta add that to the list of things I need to find out!

[@JNK1337]

To me thats solid 7/10 landing.

[@123fockewolf]

Amazing Ryanair as usual! Great video and review!!

[@airedition]

Thanks a lot!

If you're six foot or over and get assigned row 29 non window seat on a Ryanair 737 8 200... then pay for an upgrade. They have crippling legroom. The window seats are fine as they have no seat in front of them.

[@airedition]

Good info!

[@MsMonch]

so window sit row 29 is oke, like it have extra lag space, just other 2 not?

[@mac82]

@@MsMonch this was specifically for ryanair 737 8 200 (max 8) aircraft which has the additional exit towards the rear of the plane. Row 28 has 4 seats (no window seats) with additional leg room, row 29 window seats have no seat in front of them. (right side 29F has the flight crew seat facing you).

You should come try the Dornier 328 jets at Sun-Air, great opportunity to try the Dornier 328 before they go out of services. Its really a great little aircraft and it flies to London City if you havnt tried that approach before its amazing.

[@airedition]

Really great idea! I have done London City but never flown the Dornier. Need to do it!

Love these videos / vlogs Gabe! Keep them coming! That landing was a bit on the harder side but landing a plane isn't easy... I dont think Ryanair deserves that reputation of having hard landings, ive seen plenty of completely normal B737 landings from Ryanair! And EASA wont let any airline fly in Europe, they have to meet strict safety standards. And about that exit row on the flight back, I'm pretty sure there has to be an able-bodied person there in case of an emergency so they would be able to open the door quickly for people to get out of.

[@airedition]

Thanks for the comment and for watching! I've heard rumors there is actually something to the hard landings, that it's a strategic decision that saves money. This could be pure rumor though.

[@davesthilaire8111]

It isn’t a requirement to have someone in the exit row, at least in the US. I have worked many flights with an empty exit row.

[@airedition]

Interesting, thanks for the info!

[@mpbee78]

That landing isn’t as bad as that landing on a previous video of your flight to, what was it, Mallorca. Sure a hard landing but not too bad. What about the boarding experience for you? That’s my one main drawback with RyanAir-“board” everyone and then make them wait in the hallway before walking to the plane…

[@airedition]

You make a great point here. Their boarding procedure is the worst. No big deal on empty flights but on a full one with kids, a nightmare.
