We'll all have to learn to travel with just a toothbrush in our pockets and buy everything else when we get there.
A family going away for two weeks will not travel with hand luggage only.
And £70 will make the Ryanair ticket more expensive than the competitors. This summer was the first summer for a long time that I flew Vueling instead of FR....

But FRs strategy is different. They wan to reduce checked in bags to zero to sav weight and fuel (unless its a PR excuse for price rises!). But it does make sense on their short haul short stay routes

Its RYRs medieval tactics. Someone says something bad about RYR - their legal team get buzzing and similar to the deterrent of hanging a prisoner in public, they simply want individuals to post here so we can all sign and dance the RYR song like happy little campers.
No smoke from this fire.

I could be wrong so correct me if I am, I didn't think Ryanair carried cargo ie mail. So if they're working to rid all hold bags by increasing the price to take hold luggage, surely then the hold (or at least most of it) will be space wasted.
I know they're getting rid of hold luggage to save money on turn around times and baggage handling fees as said in the article, but there must be some other money making idea Ryanair can bring in to make use of the hold when there is no luggage in it.

Well I didn't expect Michael O'Leary to be boarding my flight back to London this afternoon from Dublin. Not to many airline CEO's would be doing it. He takes a very hands on approach.

If FR don't want any baggage in the hold, then maybe they can put some passengers down there. 189 passagers up above with a view (5 € charge) and a few cheap seats without a view in the hold.

you'll find most airline CEO's, Chairmen and Board members make a habit of whenever possible flying on their airline but it's rarely anything to do with being "hands on" or a "jolly good chap/chapess". The PR consequences of being seen/photographed travelling on a rival airline can be a tad awkward (especially in MOL's case - can you imagine what the press would do with pictures of him checking in at LHR T5?) and in any event why put money into the coffers of a competitor?

A number of posters were quite happy to make unsubstantiated claims without it appears proof and claim stuff which didn't exist.
A poster on here quite happily claimed that he did things against Ryanairs SOPs while an employee and boasted about it because he hated them.
Frankly if that person actually is real, people should welcome their outing, if they willfully ignored their employers SOPS, they put people lives in danger in acting unprofessionally because they appear to have a grudge.
In doing so under the cloak of anonymity they believed they would never be called on it and could just disappear before asked to prove what they say.
An organisation, any organisation has a right to its good name and also a right to defend itself.

well he does own a large part of the airline...................
Unless he owns shares personally it is more likely it is the shareholders of RYR who own a slice of EI.

A long while back I read that Ryr had approached Stornoway SYY to make a few improvements to the airfield .
It already has a very long run way. In return they promised to bring much needed direct services to london and the Med.
Whats the chance of this being looked at again.
Ryr seem to like out of the way markets.
I bet islanders would jump at the offer of low fairs to the med. London and probably prestwick or edinburgh.
Id bet it would be a money spinner.
Have local island flights operate feeders into syy.
Oban for Example that could have a feeder to Syy.
They could have littlr competition up there.
And im surprised they didnt take a look at Sumburgh. Offer Direct flights to the Netherlands. Flights to london and Manchester and of Course the central belt.
Lots of oil money up there but no direct service
