Precicely the point. Also you dont have to endure the shouting of stag parties and the rude crews selling everything except the overhead lockers.(especially on a certain Irish Lo-co). Last month I made a multi-flight trip which had both EI and FR in it. The difference is amazing, and the fare for EI over FR on the same route was €10 each. Well worth it. No scramble on boarding, no screaming, hassle, and best off all ploite crews who dont go for the hard sell. What they do sell is much better(and cheeper) than that rubbish British Rail wouldnt have the cheek to serve, which FR pushes, along with scratch cards, train/bus tickets and holiday villas.
As I reclined in my personally selected exit-row seat, ate and drank well, I thought to hell to FR its well worth the tenner.
to the poster who thought BACON announcements were too frequent....DO NOT try FR, the PA never gets a break.
