"Capetonian",
By your own admission, you have flown Ryanair only once. I have flown Ryanair probably around a hundred times. My experiences of flying Ryanair have been very different to yours - the only feature of your flight I recognise is its punctuality.
So, with your one flight and my (let's say) one hundred, who do you think has a better idea about the reality of the "Ryanair experience"?
