Default Bye Bye Ryanair

I had the misfortune last weekend to travel on one of those new Ryanair
planes with the non-reclining seats, and no-seat back pockets.

It was a real pain in the neck ! Especially when trying to have a nap.

Also they handed out those plastic coated 'menus', and, with no seat back
pocket people put them on the floor and then put their shoes on them, which
no doubt had previously trodden in dog-poo at some time. I wonder if they
get disinfected after every leg ?

The safety announcement even said to read the safety leaflet in the seat
back pocket in front of you !

Well that was enough for me - that was my last voluntary Ryanair flight.

Bye Bye MOL.

If I wasn't forced they would be voluntary !

(I meant business trips when I am not in control of making the booking).

What a good idea, to me at least, it means the person in front of me will
not be able to put thier seat back in my face!

I donīt mind non-reclining seats, but I wonder why they removed the
seat pockets. Surely they canīt cost that much.

Ahh......yummy ! Maybe they let some dogs lick them clean.

turn around.

Non-reclining seats should be obligatory on all short trips and on long ones
the seats should only be able to recline AFTER meals are served.

NO - minimum seat measurements should be sufficient to allow 99.5% of adults
to sit comfortably when the seat in front is fully reclined.
