"Our flight back from Tenerife on NYD ran on time, had hot food to serve and was adequate. The flight out in December was delayed 7hrs with no communication or information from Ryanair. I think this overall amounts to a neutral review!" Yes 50 50 | |||

"I once had a girlie weekend in Edinburgh and on the flight back there was the worst case of turbulence I’ve ever experienced. The plane just seemed to drop down suddenly and I (and quite a few others!!) thought we were going to die! Anyway, we didn’t, and the pilot had the biggest round of applause by their very thankful passengers. So their customer service may have a dodgy rep, but their pilots are shit hot at flying. "here to tell the tale Luna xx | |||

"We were meant to fly to Pisa many years ago but hit a storm so we’re diverted 173 miles north to Bologna where we were stranded as they hadn’t organised any shuttle buses to get us back to our destination. When we asked the Ryan air staff what we should be doing, we were met with an attitude much like “You’re in the right country aren’t you?” Eventually 6 hours later we were herded onto a bus for our 3 hour trip back across Italy. " TBH their only obligation is get you to your destination They did that Weather diversions are not covered by the EU compensation scheme That applies to all airlines, not just Ryanair | |||

"We flew some years ago on a 'buy this (expensive) outbound flight and get the return for a penny' deal. The 7pm return flight was delayed and eventually cancelled at 11:30pm. They only flew to this airport twice a week and we're offering another flight in 3 days, or your penny back! -which is right, it's just shite. C" Again, not peculiar to Ryanair I had the same with another airline Sunday flight cancelled - next available flight Thursday - or we can get you back to another UK airport tomorrow We had to pay for a hotel for the night, the train journey from Gatwick to Manchester, the additional car park fees at the airport etc All they covered were the train fares - as that was their only obligation - to get us home Again, no compo as the cancellation was weather related | |||

"I have used them a lot, for long weekend breaks in Portugal and Spain with no issues at all. Set your expectations for what you are paying for and all should be well as they tend to do what is says on tin. I have had no long delays, that costs them money and kept to a minimum. It is a coach in the sky, job done. Learn to pack what you need and not what you might need and you can get past the gotcha costs for baggage. Learn to pack like a pro, roll up t-shirts and items into flat pack with air removed. Be flexible with dates and the prices can be amazing, I went to Tenerife return with luggage for £118 " 2 adults and a child return to Tenerife in Dec/Jan was £198. We had a great time. | |||

Not at all however the 6 hour wait in the airport thinking we had been dumped there wasn’t exactly professional was it. More information and I wouldn’t have had a complaint "So, a plane diverts to another airport because of bad weather How much notice did the airline have, in Italy, of the diversion How much time must it take to recognise the diversion and, at the same time, arrange for transporting 180 people to where they should be Arranging coaches isn't quick and it is often a messy affair between ground staff, air crew, head office, coach companies, driver etc Also what do they do with the passengers who are waiting in Pisa for their plane? These are not 5 minute decisions, or even 1 or 2 hour decisions It takes time But, in true human form, the minute we are inconvienced we expect full and accurate information within minutes It just doesn't happen like that I once sat in Belfast Airport for 9 hours after my flight was cancelled - the ground staff got all sorts of crap We eventually left Belfast gone midnight after the airline had to find a replacement aircraft, a replacement flight deck crew and a replacement cabin crew and fly them in from two different places It was a long 9 hours, but I did, eventually, get home safe & sound | |||

Look that’s my complaint, like it or lump it pal. "I don't think there's any need to be rude or condescending I am merely pointing out that the problem you had isn't exclusive to Ryanair If you had travelled with any number of airlines, given the situation, you would have found yourself in a very similar situation I agree that Ryanair don't have the best public relations, but a lot of the issues people moan about is just bandwagoning because of their tabloid reputation Now then, if someone came forward and said they wouldn't fly them because their staff conditions are dreadful, I would wholeheartedly agree, but pulling them down because of one experience that was beyond their control and could have happened on any airline just seems unfair | |||
"I once had a girlie weekend in Edinburgh and on the flight back there was the worst case of turbulence I’ve ever experienced.

Anyway, we didn’t, and the pilot had the biggest round of applause by their very thankful passengers. So their customer service may have a dodgy rep, but their pilots are shit hot at flying. "My daughter and I had a very similar experience , we’re used to it as we fly a lot and short haul trips often don’t go as high so it’s normal, but people were screaming and praying , things falling all over and we were enjoying it like a roller coaster | |||
" Now then, if someone came forward and said they wouldn't fly them because their staff conditions are dreadful, I would wholeheartedly agree, but pulling them down because of one experience that was beyond their control and could have happened on any airline just seems unfair" The title of the thread is "any good Ryanair stories". Yondu shared his personal experience (not so good), as did a bunch of other people. Some good, some bad. Many have made generic negative comments without any specific experience shared, yet it's Yondu's personal experience that's being torn to shreds? We also experienced a weather related delay of 7hrs in December. We had to be transferred from Leeds to Manchester due to fog. I'm a wheelchair user but they hadn't taken that into account when planning the transfer to Manchester (I wasn't the only person who couldn't scale coach steps). There was absolutely zero communication from Ryanair at any time, all we got was confused and garbled nonsense from the poor airport staff. Ryanair didn't give us ANY information. Nothing. Everything we found out was by having to ask ground staff working for Swissport to call Ryanair and even then, much of the information was wrong. We were told twice that the flight had departed Manchester (it couldn't possibly have, because all the passengers were stood in the check-in area, trying to find out WTF was happening). The disorganisation was spectacular and incredibly stressful. Once we finally boarded, it was a plane that had been sitting on the tarmac for over 5hrs - the Captain said he and his crew had been waiting for us since 2pm and we boarded at 7pm. In those 5hrs sat at Manchester, we had no idea when we'd depart, no offer of food or water (bear in mind original departure was midday at Leeds). We just sat at a gate that was miles away from anywhere, for 5hrs, hoping we'd eventually depart. We lost our transfer from Tenerife airport to the hotel and had to pay an extra €85 to get a taxi on arrival (bear in mind the wheelchair needs). Ryanair couldn't help the fog, but they sure as hell could improve their communication, including with their own staff! The pilot seemed as confused as we were about why we had waited 5hrs. The return flight was very smooth and no issues. | |||

" Again, that could happen with ANY airline I have had issues with both low cost and mainline carriers and when it goes wrong, they're all pretty crap, they just don't have the people in the right places I've lost count of the amount of time I've sat in terminals waiting for an airline to get their cards in order Ryanair and Easyjet carry millions of leisure travellers every year from the UK and, as such, their names will always pop up when our holidays get off to a bad start Ryanair carried just short of 150 million people in 2020 (that is over 50% of european passenger journeys that year) - the chances of someone having a bad experience is pretty high Their sheer scale denotes some people will have a poor experience What is of note, however, is that in 2020, Easyjet carried only 800,000 less passengers than Ryanair and you don't see many threads about them - because Ryanair has a bad PR presence In 2021, the UK airline with the most complaints as a % of passengers was actually Virgin Atlantic Then Easyjet, then BA, then Ryanair Virgins complaints were almost four times the level of Ryanairs So, yes, Ryanair may not be perfect, but it is their public relations they need to work on, perhaps more than their service This is why I find threads like this aren't helpful and just satisfy the media frenzy around this airline And no, I don't work for them

"The thread is about Ryanair, hence people sharing experiences on Ryanair. If it were a thread about airlines in general, you'd more than likely get all sorts of stories about different airlines." Why is Ryanair singled out so much though? I haven't seen a thread about Virgin being awful, yet their complaints are almost 4x the level of Ryanairs Is it bad PR? Is it good PR? O'Leary is very good at grabbing headlines after all Does the bad press work for them I wonder? | |||
