Even I would fly with Ryanair for this !!

I don’t get the negativity towards Ryanair. In fact I’ve found them to be one of the most on time airlines, and everything always very efficient. When I can fly to Krakow, Budapest or Geneva for less than £20 each way as well.

Their service is definitely superior to the very expensive British airways

I don’t either. Always had good flights with them. They are after all Europe’s largest airline with most legacy airlines copying most of what they do, so they must be doing something right.

I haven't had a problem with Ryanair but that's because I've double-checked and triple-checked that I've jumped accurately through all their hoops regarding check-in, boarding passes, cabin baggage, hold baggage etc.  I have the impression that they make their profit from the expensive charges imposed on passengers who fail to pass precisely through a hoop.  And having to avoid this makes me feel more stressed when I fly with them.
All this said, once I'm in the air I've found the flying to be similar to other airlines, and I would consider flying with them again.

From the newspaper clipping ...

On a flight you are guaranteed a seat, you don't have to stand up for hours on the train and it is quicker

Yes, she did say that a flight is quicker.  However, it would have been totally silly to claim that the journey was quicker, when it patently wasn't - which was not what she said.  Was the 8 hrs on the beach really part of the flight ?  Actually, the flight WAS quicker, 5h 05m as opposed to 6h 15m on the train.

They make the hoops very clear at the booking stage in all fairness to them. I’ve recently made a booking and each stage it asks if you’re sure i only wanted an underseat bag of dimensions x y z. I’ve then got an email reiterating those hoops, trying to sell me more.
