I have no sympathy, and even less respect, for people who choose to fly with Ryanair and then complain about these patterns.

After 32 years of Ryanair in its current incarnation nobody can claim naivety. Dance with the devil and he pipes the tune.

Hmm… okay. What about routes that are under-served? Or where Ryanair is much cheaper?

Look, we hate Ryanair, everybody does. The seats are cramped. They keep piping stupid announcements. Dark patterns. Etc. But if we want to see family, it’s Ryanair or another airline. With a family of 3, it’s either 400€ or 900€, so we put up with it.

You’re being unfair.

Well yes but they have become worse.

It used to be pretty easy going if you just paid up for everything you need. I preferred it over the traditional Airlines because with them you have to suffer first before you build enough points for fast boarding etc. With Ryanair you could just pay and if you did you would be given no hassle by the staff. Even onboard food and drink prices were pretty ok.

But recently they've reduced the carryon bag to unusable proportions and their staff is ever ruder and pushy.
