Maxalt, I cannot understand why you are so anti Ryanair, in my company we have been flying with them at least 10 return flights throughout Europe per month for the last 3 years and I can count on my hand the times we have had any problems worth mentioning.
For us Ryanair at the moment is by far the best airline there is, both in terms of availability and of cost, on board service is reasonably good and they are generally on time. We regularly fly economy with KLM, BA, SAA and Air France to connect to intercontinental flights at much higher prices and no detectable service difference. Often we book flights at short notice and we pay relatively more but on the day of booking we hardly find cheaper alternatives ever.
How often do you fly?
