Just experienced Ryan air flights between Stansted and Perpignan. Bit of a mixed bag of good and bad.
The flights left and arrived on time in both directions. So in getting you from A-B excellent, especially for just 49p each way.
The outbound flight had the added bonus of cabin crew in good spirits and pleasant friendly to. There only down fall no white coffee at the beginning of the flight. (they use prefilled cups of tea coffee and hot choc)
The aircraft tray tables were dirty and had a childs artistic talents as a bonus on mine.
Inbound flight. No tea or coffee left at all.
Rear bev maker u/s and us in the mid cabin section knew all about it in the crews attitude. No1 inexperience showed through, getting rather "snappy" with crew and moving themself out of paxs eye. Tried serving too much at the same time ie tax free and train tickets paxs getting confused and calling crew back for either tickets or tax free. Crew did not know exchange rates. franc to the pound was quoted to the pax next to me at 3.20 something. mmm. This was corrected and the crew then handed back too much change.
Landing back at Stansted the No1 left us to disembark down dark airstairs and their head firmly trying to work out the bar takings and paperwork. No Good Bye.
As I went down the airstairs just noticed a dark cord tied to the airstairs which was connected to an object by the wing. Being dark bit dangerous this.
Yes I would use Ryan air again but never at there maxium fare.
Just one question. Why do the crew block off the first two rows?
