Default Important changes to Ryan Air travel...

1. You must now insert £1 for your air mask in the event of an emergency.

2. All woman are to travel naked to make the planes lighter and therefore economical

3. It is mandatory to travel with a cashless card like Barclays Glide so that a payment of £10 can be collected when disembarking on water, say the Hudson

4. Aircraft now only have only one wing.. This guarantees you a return flight in the same trip.

5. Sharp instruments are banned. This means all todgers have to pass the bottle test before being permitted onboard!

LOL Oh dear. I am hoping these aren't true!

I wouldn't fly with Ryan Air anyway after hearing from my Grandy about her experience with them.

Theres nothing wrong with them at all. People complain about ryanair, but when you're flying for a penny somewhere what the **** does anyone expect? The planes still pass very rigorous standards, the service is none existent, but thats the whole frigging point! You're not paying for any service!

I expect the cabin crew to retract the steps before moving off but I can remember 2 occasions when passengers have had to tell cabin crew that the steps were still extended.

I expect the cabin crew to let people get seated before giving the captain the nod to push off stand. On the last RA flight I took there were at least 10 passengers still in the process of finding a seat when the plane pushed back.

I refuse point blank to fly with RyanAir. They're not as cheap as they imply on their advertising and they are a complete shower of s***e when it comes to dealing with cancelled flights.

I always found the baggage limit rules amusing.

If two people travel, you get 10kg each. But it is strictly each, as in 2 bags. You can't have one bag between you that weighs 20kg, that incurs an £80 fee.

I'd quite like to be able to spend a penny without having to actually get change to do so.

I don't really expect much from a budget airline but it's always nice if they get you there relatively on time because I've usually got connections to make at the other end, aside from that and the ability to relieve myself should I feel it necessary (it works for stretching the legs too) then I don't have any further requirements.

It's anecdotal to me but I'm sure I've seen Danny suggesting that RyanAir planes aren't the most stringently maintained in the World, I could be wrong on that though of course.

They do slyly advertise things, and rules are very strict but they really are the cheapest. I'm flying to Belfast again for 2p return, literally 2p. Where can you beat that?

Divine what i find funny is you're only allowed x amount of luggage but you can wear whatever you want. Next time i fly, i'll have a tiny bag, but i'll be wearing 10 layers and look like the buckaroo donkey getting on the plane.
