If you don't like Ryanair, then don't fly with them. Don't rake up all the excuses you can why you think they shouldn't even exist.
I fly with Ryanair at least twice a year and never had a problem. Flying with them from EMA - FAO this summer because:
a) they are reliable in terms of punctuality
b) flying from a local airport (not big/near major city, but LOCAL)
c) great departure time (09:30am, return home 15:50)
d) they had the best price because we don't see the need to take a 20kg bag each
I don't want or expect anything other than that for a 2 and a half hour flight across Europe. The main reason why people don't like Ryanair is because they expect the service of BA but with a Ryanair price!
