With regards to removing the Recaptcha, I do admire their attempted spin (from the FR website)
Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said:
“Ryanair is continually improving our customer service and today’s removal of RECAPTCHA on our Ryanair.com website, will further improve the usability of Ryanair.com for our 81m passengers – and make booking our low-fare flights even easier and quicker!"
Ah yes, nothing like improving the site that you originally made worse.
