Flying over to London at the end of the month with my wife and 4 yr old and flying with Cityjet into City airport. Deliberatley not flying Ryanair for a number of reasons.
-Bad experience with some of their staff at Dublin airport who had no manners. Not unique to Dublin thought, similer experiences in the past in Italy and Stansted
-Price wise, when you factor in the cost of the Stansted Express into London, the cost for the 3 of us was only an additional €80 combined to fly with Cityjet. Ryanair are not as cheap as they make themselves out to be when you factor everything in
-Really scary landing into Stansted the last time I flew with them. Not the first time I might add and don't want to give the smallie a complex about flying
I remember when Ryanair started off and in fairness, they did drive the price of flying down and did beat Aer Lingus up, who in hindsight, were a complete shower of rip off merchants back in the 80s/90s. I'd be far more likely to fly Ryanair in the future if they'd actually try to be nice and polite and helpful. Manners cost nothing and earn far more
