a “fat tax” after more than 30,000 passengers voted to levy charges on
overweight passengers.


Knowing Ryanair it'll be levied on anyone over 50kg...


I flew with Ryanair once. I wouldn't do it again - they're a joke.
Overpriced compared to regular airlines (once you take into account
all the hidden extras - phone call charges, credit card fees, etc.)


What a load of bull****. As you know I live in germany, and so many
people fly back and forth for less than the taxi fair to the airport.

If you want to big it up fine, but dont blame them for bringing the
prices down for the average commuter. You want all the perks? Grand. Go
first class BA.

mg voice LOL

and entirely misleading destinations (we flew from "Frankfurt/Hahn"
which is like "London/Penzance"). Let's face it, Aer Lingus must have
been ****ing abysmal for a shower of ****e like Ryanair to do better.

UD


Don't fly them then.
