Some the variables should be illegal, though. But then again, no legacy airline, not even all legacy airlines together can match the network of Ryanair, it's really something else. Of course, you still need to walk to the plane most likely (sometimes you get on a bus) and then walk up the stairs - not as easy as a legacy airline with jetways for sure. You want leg space, here, book an emergency row, yes it has a price but again: you get what you pay for. They only sell a given amount of priority so the bags actually fit on board. You want to bring a bigger bag, pay for priority. I have yet to find another airline which would so readily disclose the actual sizer dimensions. There's no opaque 'personal item', no, it's a 40 x 25 x 20 cm bag and the sizer is 42 x 30 x 20cm ensuring anything compliant will really fit. I find them one of the best price/fee wise, it's completely clear as what you pay for and what you get. Indeed if you search enough on flyertalk you could find old posts of mine claiming I wouldn't fly Ryanair if I were paid to do so.īut that was before 2018 November when they have changed.
