I'm no Ryanair fanboy but they do have the best tech, no denying. Everything just works. EasyJet website/tech seems stuck in the year 2005

  Another rather minor thing is that if you look at the source of their confirmation emails, they include a lot of reservation data in XML tags according to the schema.org specification (https://schema.org/FlightReservation https://schema.org/FlightReservation). I was looking for a way to parse flight details out of confirmation emails before, and with Ryanair it is trivially easy to do because of this whereas with most other airlines you have to resort to parsing the plaintext or (awful) HTML. Again, not a big thing but I was surprised that Ryanair seemed to be the only ones who took a standards-based approach to these emails.

    That's cool, I had no idea!

    The now defunct Inbox from Google used to make use of these XML tags to organise your trips into folders. Wish they'd bring that to gmail.

  I'm always kind of surprised when things don't just work. Like having customers seamlessly interact with a computer is one of the cheapest ways of getting money.

    The overtime alone would be a nightmare!
