Just one more reason to boycott Ryanair
- piltdownman 7mo agoI mean they're the discount bus of the skies, designed for students and people on weekend breaks inter-EU. Avoid flying to Paris (Buvais) or certain other 'city' airports, keep your carry-on luggage within limits, and they're basically fine. They've a safety record that's beyond reproach, and where else are you going to get flights for ~€50 across Europe? If nothing else they disrupted a predatory pricing cartel. I'm old enough to remember when a flight England->Ireland or Spain->Portugal could be the guts of €300 or €400. Now we have a complete revision on pricing and it paved the way for multiple good budget carriers like Transavia. Not to mention Michael O'Leary being an absolute rogue with his PR - particularly the recent spat with Elon Musk https://www.euronews.com/business/2026/01/21/big-idiot-boost-ryanair-cashes-in-as-musk-feud-takes-off-on-x https://www.euronews.com/business/2026/01/21/big-idiot-boost...
