Having spent the last 6 weeks commuting from Luton to Dublin, I have found Ryanair efficient, easy to use and on time 95% of the time.
BA, Aer Lingus are you listening?
Ryanair - shorthaul perfection

If this is a cry for help there are other, more suitable forums.
The only compliment you can pay Ryanair is that it doesnt even try to hide what it thinks of its customers, unlike BA and the rest. They call it managing expectations. You dont expect much, they satisfy you. Sad world we live in

Surely it's a case of you get what you pay for. If you choose to pay next to nothing for cheap flights, you can't expect much. Ryanair gets you from A to B, what more do you want for the price you pay?

I have flown Gatwick or Stansted to Shannon return for 13 weeks and only one flight was late and that was on a day when there were very high winds in UK and when many BA and other short haul flights in Europe were cancelled.Some flights cost me 12 pounds return.There was no choice but to choose RyanAir as Aer Lingus pulled the plug on LHR-SNN services In my previous job I travelled over one million miles in a ten year period with Thai Airways usually in Economy-10 percent of the time they were excellent,40 percent not so bad but 50 percent of the time the service was very sour even given that I have been a Gold Card holder for over 9 years Ryan Air is exceedingly consistent in terms of offering what they describe as part of the offer-you know that you have to pay for drinks etc I was very surprised with BD on DUB-LHR to have to pay for food and drinks and my Star Alliance Gold Card counted for nothing Many flag carriers on long haul in economy are no better than low cost carriers

What must also be remembered is that Ryanair serves a great many business routes which are not covered by the traditional airlines.
Besides Ryanair, who else can fly you on useful routes like Eindhoven-Madrid, Manchester-Bremen or East Midlands-Budapest ?
I guess a good number of passengers overlook any negative aspects of the Ryanair simply because this carrier is more convenient for their needs.
