    Did they always have this fare finder? I find it brilliant http://www.ryanair.com/en/cheap-flights/

    It's clean, it's easy to navigate. The homepage is good for basically everything, it's easy to navigate. Considering what the website looked like last October, it's a miracle!

    RYR feel like such a lean machine strategically; they may not be perfect (who is?), but when they set out to do something they just do it no delays, any errors fast rectified.

    On the other hand what else are people supposed to do? There is not a lot to do in plenty of terminals so you might as well queue as you are just standing around anyway.

    Or they could sit down in the empty seats they stand beside :)

    I'll be nostalgic about the old website and the way it used to mess with your head :)

    Now if they would just reconsider the yellow seat headrests!!

    Maybe the 175 new B738's will have a new cabin design

    The customisability of the fare finder is fantastic, it's basically skyscanner but just for the ryanair website (and no bullshít third party operators popping up).

    What a great feature the fare finder is, just a shame we had to endure the previous Ryanair website for so long!

    Possible. The currency symbol is in the wrong place as well. Minor things that are fixed easily.

    Anyone else having trouble logging in?
    Registered and when I try to login I get into some weird loop telling me I have been sent a temporary password (which I haven't) and to set a new password.

    In fairness there are normally far more passengers than seats at the check-in areas.

    True, each boarding gate has enough seats for about 60 people, the a/c holds 189 and then during the busy times you could have a flight due out at 4pm and another one at 16:30, meaning you'll have an average of about 300 people at a gate that is designed to seat 60

    Normally neighboring gates have plenty of free seats as they are for later flights I find so if there's no room to sit at my gate I'll just sit nearby, and since everyone starts queuing ages before they start letting people through, most of the seats at my gate become free so I just sit and wait for the queue to start moving before joining it.

    Depends on the airport too. Downstairs departures in Shannon are very much a low frills cramped area with limited seats.

    Very true! :p

    Seriously good luck to them, I always wondered why O'Leary believed he had the universal right to treat his passengers like c*nts and his excuse was well theres x million flying with us! I think it finally clicked there's more money to me made with flexi fares etc and treating passengers like actual beings for once.

    But as Mueller said, ''good luck to them, but erm.. thankfully we've been doing it for 77 years now.''

    What is Mueller on about with that arrogance..how many people across Europe have heard of Ryanair compared to EI! Very silly comment

    In relation to variable products, Ryanair are only coming on-stream with that now i.e. tailored business etc. :)
