    thank god they have got rid of that annoying trumpet on arrival!

    The question is, have they?
    It could now be a violin, to be more suited to business travellers. (lol)

    Go over for a tenner and catch an Aer Lingus back.

    What are the bets Shannon will see these flights, because Dublin isn't.

    + 1 on that. I think there great. Play by the rules & you won't have a problem. My taxi from the airport to the hotel is more expensive than the flight

    Fly with another airline... well any other airline really... and you`ll land a lot closer to where you want to go.

    Used them once for Paris. Journey from airport to Paris took longer than the flight.

    It takes an hour or so. How long does it take to get from Dublin airport to the city centre?

    I`ve seen them in airports I think. Are they the ones waiting to charge through the gates to get the best seats? I wonder ..... Michael wouldn`t have come up with that idea one day out looking at his Angus herd would he!!:D

    I love Ryanair.

    If I am travelling on short hops within Europe, all I want is a place for my bum to get me across the puddle.

    Even if I want to go to America, I would be happy to sit in Ryanair-style settings for 8 or so hours.

    No-one forces anyone to fly Ryanair, I for one, love them. I love their no frills style.

    Been flying the Liverpool Dublin route a long time. Flight time on the website is 55 mins. Never taken longer than 30 mins even the pilot says before take off " should take about 30 mins", that's why they have the best on time record.

    You do realise that the figure on the website is the journey time so including the time when you push back from the gate, taxi to the runway, cue behind other aircraft waiting to use the runway and waiting for other aircraft to land before take off, also when you land, taxing to the gate and parking all that can easily add another 20-30mins to total journey time

    Stay clear so, in case you get sucked into one of the engines - nothing worse.

    They are grand at best,

    I take 50-100 flights a year and if I had the choice I would take Aer Lingus, but if I am going on holidays and I have no air miles and there is a noticeable difference between ryanair and aer lingus, I would fly them.

    It's not just the trumpet, but what annoys me is that they don't shut up for the whole flight. Hey buddy, it's 6.00 in the morning, I don't care about buying a god damn scratch card

    I got a flight with them recently. They gave me free priority boarding as my seat was randomly selected in the first 5 rows. I got a text telling me to check in online to avoid charges. Bag drop off was instant. They are a pretty good airline and reliable
