They are all yours daz. Not for me, thank you.

Just for the record, I have never questioned their safety record and in fact have in the past said positive things about that on these forums when posters have. As for aircraft age, that doesn't bother me as it's irrelevant if the a/c has been properly maintained. Furthermore You will find that some of RYR's older B738s are almost 12 years old, which is still of course relatively young compared to the DC-3 I flew in last year But an aircraft can fly for 20 years at a rate of 2 cycles per day whilst another flies 10 years at 6 to 8 cycles per day. So, as I said, it's down to good maintenance and not age. The only reason I choose not to fly Ryanair is that I don't like their product and I am prepared to pay more for what I consider a better and more consumer friendly product. You like their product, that's fine. I don't knock people who fly with them, it's just that I won't. As you say, each to their own.
