I love Ryanair!

they are as cheap as chips if you know what your doing, we must use them 10 times a year.

yep the service is pretty naff, they have stupid rules and their gates are miles from the terminal

but they get me to spain and back for Â£20, so whats to complain about

I cant get the train to the airport for that price!

Always amazes me to see folk complain about them when they spent more on the cab to catch the plane than they did on their flight.

Take a packed lunch, get the emergency exit seats, sit back and enjoy, its cheap – end of story.

So it may not make any difference to the express reader, but I bet google research drive a lot of their traffic. A small difference in Google ranking could hurt them.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m fully in the camp that thinks holidays are too valuable to waste on these jokers. But I do have a sneaking respect for the way they maintain there brand position, this and other ludicrous stories, like the mobile charger ban, build a clear picture of an obsessed brand in the head of the consumer.

I don’t think they underestimated the power of bloggers, but weighed up the impact against the benefit of sounding old fashioned and sensible to express readers – as many evil geniuses should

Just seen this .. it was up to 3 staff. The #7 was a hoax and has been removed.
