Well, Heineken have been claiming for decades to be "probably the world's" best catspiss...
Hmmm, looks like Carlsberg could have saved all that wasted advertising money ...

There's no doubt that RYR is a popular choice for the budget conscious masses who are perfectly content with that style of product. The irony is that they can sometimes pay higher or similar fares with RYR than on legacy carriers in the misguided belief that there just cannot be cheaper than RYR. If MOL wants a real challenge he should try and sell me his product

Well done Fr

Can,t argue that FR don't know their market and that they don,t serve it well, so they have earned their marketing opportunity

Well done,


Just leave the little green planes out of it , just for once !

Anyone care to name the date they hit 100 million customers in a rolling 12 month period? Some achievement ,

yeah racedo, do you honestly think that was really out of choice, or perhaps more to do with good PR for the masses? "Oh look people, we're really just like you".

I note the statistics are manipulated purely on "international" figures, what are the real figures bearing in mind that, just as an example, US carriers carry the majority of their punters domestically rather than internationally?

How about the world's favourite domestic airline? ... I'd suggest, that based on the geography of Ireland, the mad Irishman's mob would come close to bottom.

Howsoever the figures were derived doe snot matter. MoL has been aiming at that advertising slogan since he became CEO.

Have you any idea just how much MoL hates the Brits? I saw him interviewed about ten years ago and he spat out the names of British carriers and said "I'll show them what a Paddy can do", whatever his precise words, he DID use the word 'Paddy' in referring to himself. He was consumed with passion. it does not matter how he came to feel that way - today he has reached a goal he has striven for.

Well done to MoL and RYR.

ps not MY favourite airline.

Choice because there are others..................U2 fly to South of France and had adverts published assumming Blair travelling with them, Queen Sofia could have had Iberia look after her easily and Call me Dave well no idea what goes through that little brain.

Kind of kills off the idea you promulgate that people have no choice in Flying Ryanair..................they do.

And your point is what ?

IATA - WATS Sample - Scheduled Passengers Carried

They said INTERNATIONAL not Domestic but if you wish to toil away then IATA stats are there for all to see.

And kind of kills of, quote Branson, that the M25 is the world's favourite motorway ..... Drivers/Customers could use alternative means to avoid the frustrating "passage of convenience" but ... "To hell with it, it's only for an hour or so, let's grin and bear it".

We all have a choice, some go for what is the least favourite because it is cheapest, others have more pride!

Cue Ryanair haters agononising over dictionary
If it is me to whom you are referring, I am not a Ryanair hater; however, I did check the dictionary and the correct spelling is agonising.

Gee, can you guess what the I in IATA stands for? Yes, they are providing statistics on International Air Transport, that's what they do. Cryanair obviously doesn't care as it suits their purpose.

Tightslot - this thread was dumped here from R&N, can I suggest you dump it on JB, this really isn't SLF! Thank you for your consideration.

Has anyone tried the in-flight hot dogs? €5 Bloody rip off!!! If I fly with them again I'm bringing sandwiches. Got my own back, I needed water for my medication (EU law and all that) free bottle.

With almost 80m bums on seats doesn't the gamecock deserve to crow? Makes some green with envy but still it's a brave rival who'd try to step into the cockpit.

And I'd suggest that Luxair is amongst the world's least favourite domestic airlines ... With only one airport in the country it kind of hampers domestic services!
