No one mentioned BA did they?
However from a customer service point of view (in-flight) Ryanair are sh1t I'm afraid. However if the price is right or they are the only ones going...
They could 'tweek' a few more things other than reserved seating (those already mentioned) before I'd choose them over Easy. And I'm happy to pay a bit extra if Easy duplicate the route.
Oh and on the BA subject daz211... At least they're conversational in 'English'. Comes in handy should said plane suddenly burst into a ball of flames *or similar*.
