I wonder what personal experience you have from travelling with a wheel chair user on Ryanair. I have a daughter who is disabled and we have travelled with Ryanair more htna 6 times the last 12 months. I have also travelled with SAS and Spanair. Ryanair wins the service game here. Especially now after the enforced online checkin where you can book your needed assistance online without calling the service phone. On the airport the assistance has been great also. When arriving on the plane there are easily acceible seats very clos to the entrance with place for the assistants. Well done Ryanair! I have some horror stories from Spanair flights to tell you...
As of customer service there is the nuisance with the pay per minute call center, but otherwise I have been given good service when I have made mistakes in booking without any cost ...
For advertising I also do not agree with you. When Ryanair advertises 1 SEK sales I do not have any problem finding the tickets for a return flight for 2 SEK total. That is more than you can say about SAS and other's campaigns..
Some of you rother points are probably correct.
Still Ryanair does not sell on price only. Simplicity (small airports, quick away, no luggage lost etc) are also selling points...
