Has anyone on here used RyanAir?

Question

Ok, I've never used this airline before but my friend has and he didn't have bad experience at all. I've only used EasyJet and the experience was good.

I am wondering about the users here.

Answer 1

I have a friend who uses them alot.  He swears by them as a cheap option for Europe.  The website looked almost like a gimmick to me, but he swears they are awesome.

Answer 2

I have used RyanAir many times.  It is a great airline, very reliable and cheap!  The only thing is to be aware of the hidden costs...they charge for you to check in bags...etc.  All of it is on the website.  They are totally legitimate.  The other thing to be aware of is that RyanAir flies to secondary airports which are usually a little farther outside of the city.  For example, they fly to London, they land at Stansted Airport which is a good thirty to forty minutes away from London by train.  They will sell you tickets to the train/bus at the check-in and on the plane.  Just research the airport for the city you will be visiting.

It would be nice if the US followed suit and had some of the same kind of low cost air carriers.
