I can fully understand all those who, almost without exception, comment adversely about Ryanair. However, I have flown with them as SLF four times now purely because they had a destination in deepest France that was both convenient and not served by any other carrier. I did so with reluctance and some trepidation. However, I cannot deny that the aircraft seemed clean and well maintained. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room (I am not small). They were utterly punctual and the CS were efficient and as polite as any I have met on any other airline. Yes, there are disadvantages but you get what you pay for.
