This weekend, I had a lovely getaway with a very old friend to a small coastal town called Sete, France, after flying on an exceedingly cheap (EUR 25, roundtrip) ticket via Ryanair from Frankfurt Hahn to Montpellier.
It will be my last Ryanair flight. Not because of the flights (both arrived 30 minutes early!), or the staff, or the very friendly service, but because of my fellow passengers. The worst of what I saw included:
It will be my last Ryanair flight. Not because of the flights (both arrived 30 minutes early!), or the staff, or the very friendly service, but because of my fellow passengers. The worst of what I saw included:
- A large group of middle-aged tourists, pointing and laughing at a woman struggling to put her suitcase in the cabin storage.
- A twenty-something cutting in front of lines at McDonald's, who expressed no shame when I questioned him about why his time was so much more important than mine.
- People blatantly cutting in the seating line as and whenever possible.
- Shoving (!) to get farther down the aisle as people were attempting to board, store luggage, and take their seat. Heaven forbid you don't get the perfect seat for the ONE HOUR flight.
Granted, not everyone behaved like this, but I was pretty disappointed - I saw this on 2 of 2 Ryanair flights. Between that and the great inconvenience of their airport locations: no more Ryanair for me.
duly noted on ryanair. had been contemplating that.
