Re: Top travel tips...
Don't get the gripes with Ryanair. Been on many a bargain European weekend break with them. You get what you pay for at the end of the day. If I'm flying to Girona and back for £40, then I don't give a shit what the experience is like.

So have I. Its not a gripe, its playing them at their own game.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.

Fair play. So many people just moan about it constantly though. If you do everything simply, carry on your luggage, and have a bit of flexability when you go, you can get some great bargains. I must be one of the few who actually loves ryanair.

Re: Top travel tips...
I would fly with them on my own or part of a group of lads but never with my family, the pov rush when the gates open is disusting.

Do not try and board the plane with a baseball bat in your hand luggage. Especially when it's less than a year after 9/11 and you're trying to fly home from Texas.

India is one of the places on my bucket list.
Just Delhi or the country as a whole?

Re: Top travel tips...
I would recommend India, but it is a challenging country to travel in and Delhi is probably the most challenging city. Full of so many scam artists you can't really relax and enjoy it and the grinding poverty is unlike I've seen anywhere.Wandering Willy wrote:Really?Harry Genshaw wrote:Don't go to Delhi. Ever.

In contrast, Mumbai is a far better city with more to see and do. The coastal areas, Kerala & Goa are truly beautiful. I spent 3 months travelling round and loved it but would I go back? Nah.

Re: Top travel tips...
There is a shot in golf called a "Ryanair shot" and I play it regularly. It looks ok in the air but it doesn't land anywhere fecking near where you were hoping that it might. Frankfurt Hahn???? Hahn's nearer to fecking Luxembourg than it is to Frankfurt!!!!!!

Never use the phrase "bucket list" in my presence on a plane.

Get on the right plane!
Two old dears managed at Palma to get on our plane 3 weeks after 9/11 despite having our boarding cards and passports checked every 2 yards! Then we had to wait while the luggage was unloaded to see if that was on the wrong plane.

Re: Top travel tips...
I've just booked a last minute holiday to Tenerife (fly tomorrow, booked it yesterday) and I'm on Ryanair. Never really had a problem with them, to be honest it's probably only idiots that do have problems with them with not checking in online or printing boarding passes off. Me and Mrs Platz have just got one case between us which the extra cost on Ryanair is another bug bearer with some, I would have about handled it with hand luggage but she's obviously got all of her crap to bring!jimbo wrote:Don't get the gripes with Ryanair.

Could have been worse, you could have spent a night cuddled up on a floor at Frankfurt airport the year before, missin all the pre match 'entertainment'. Oh...............Burnden Paddock wrote:Do book a hotel and have a good night's sleep before your flight. Don't avoid paying for a room, by sleeping in Munich Airport and remaining so until your gate has closed and also missing the numerous telephone calls from yours truly. That's precisely what my brother in law did after the game there. This results in a very long and very expensive train ride home.William the White wrote:Don't be two minutes late for Ryanair check in.

Amongst many of the f*ckovers that Ryan Air has tried to perpertrate on me was allowing me 20 kilos on my outbound flight, then including in the small print (do you read section 9 para b of your T&C's generally, idiotic if you don't) that I was only allowed 15 kilos on the return. Cue my stand-up refusal to budge from the front of the baggage queue, as they were after 10euros a kilo. They got nowt.
Between myself and my immediate famliy I reckon we have used Ryan Air an average of over 20 times a year the last 5 or 6 years. Do it often enough, and for long enough, and they'll f*ck you too. Fancy a 3 hour detour to a different airport 24 hours after your flight because they decided to flash cancel on the spot?
Remember, fools rush in.
