I know in the past they had lots of issues. I think people just haven’t got past them. With them if you don’t pay for a seat, they just assign one to you. For a 1-1/2-hour flight, it just isn’t a big deal. Now, for that 10-hour flight I have coming up, I’ll probably pay extra for a premium seat if I can.

Personally, I’ve never used them. However I have had experiences with a super budget airlines in the US where you have to pay to get a seat- not change a seat, but to actually get a seat on the plane. Since there’s no option to stand, this “fee” seems ludicrous.

Yes, their website is quite clear. I’m pretty pleased with them as well.

I think this is a bang-on assessment of Ryanair. We’ve flown them a few times, and they can be a stellar deal as long as you’re very careful of their requirements; especially your baggage weight and size. To be fair, I found that they do list everything you need to know fairly clearly on their website. For the price, I’ve been pretty happy with them.

We experienced that with Wizz Air. I absolutely hate it. Now they assign seats, though, which is good. I agree the priority seating thing is a scam. So dumb.

Completely true. I was so relieved when I found out they do assigned seats now. I hate the free for all.

Totally agree!

You definitely have to factor in everything before hitting the purchase button, including the cost of airport transfer since they don’t always fly into the most convenient airports.

Better than Wizz Air, though, no?

I think you aren’t the only one who has been caught up in that considering they now spell it out clearly. Definitely only rely on them for point A to B. If you don’t, make sure you have good travel insurance to reimburse you if things go awry.
