Ryanair Reviews

Ryanair is the absolute WORST airline I’ve ever flew with in my life. HUGE waste of money!! And the staff do not care whatsoever!! Never flying with this airline (as already planned after I booked this ticket months ago) ever again!!!! Because I had trouble checking in on my phone, they charged me 55 euros at the airport! They literally rob you for your money at every chance they can get! I was never informed of this process ahead of time and there is no flexibility or accommodation with this airline whatsoever.

A word of warning: NO!!! Ryanair is terrible in my experience. Let me explain. We scheduled a flight from Tangier to Lisbon with a layover and plane change in Paris. Due to a bomb scare in Paris, our flight went to Belgium. From there, we sat on the plane on the airstrip for about an hour with no answers as to what would happen next. Then, they made us all get off the plane. No communication, just left there. I had to go to the ticket office to try to book another flight. There were no flights available, so I had to research nearby airports for possible flights.

I bought a flight on Ryanair from Portugal to Hungary after flying them from Morocco to Fort Trickle. When I showed up at the gate, they said my bags were too large. I showed them a picture that they fit, and I was abused, bullied condescended they actually asked me to stand in a corner and wait to the very end, and then I said I’ll pay I don’t care. I was trying to get business and I paid for priority, Etc. And when I showed them the picture, they said you’re using this against us now you’re going to board last I have the power I’ve I’ve seen it from Customs once in a blue moon but I’ve never seen a power trip like that.

Ryan Air's own website says it publishes fares at least 6 months in advance, and sometimes up to 1 year in advance. For over 4 months, I have been trying to book a flight from Paphos, Cyprus to Amman, Jordan. Flights haven't been released to book yet. It is now under 5 months away, and flights still haven't been released to book. Ryan Air isn't keeping its commitment. When you text, or chat, or call - you get the same response with everyone that works there. "We don't know". "Flights haven't been released yet". "We don't know". "They don't tell us". "We don't know". "We're clueless". "We don't know". Somewhere at RyanAir, Mr. Wizard, the only guy that must know anything, is sitting behind some curtain, and he's derelict in his duties, and not following his own company policy. Will someone at Ryanair please wake up Mr. Wizard so he can released the Paphos to Jordan flights for November.

THE IRISH FAMILY THAT CONVENIENTLY FORGOT ABOUT IRISH HOSPITALITY. This company is abysmal. They take advantage of people. The unfortunate piece is that they have such a hold on the short flight industry in Europe that you don't have a choice if you want to get around Europe. They claim they are the cheapest and they are if you have no issues at all with your flight experience, you want to bring one bag and sit in the most uncomfortable seat made by in the industry. I ended up paying $502.66 for a roundtrip 2 1/2 hour bare bones flight (including one checked bag) from London to Palermo. The original flight was $265.81 which IS NOT CHEAP, it was $170.85 to change my flight because I missed it due to issue on another intercontinental flight and $66 to check in with a human person. I also had to pay for a night in a hotel that I didn't expect and a night at the place I was supposed to be staying.

Before leaving our remote Oregon location by car for SeaTac Airport, I made very thorough prearrangements via the only resource available - my laptop. The destination was a hernia clinic outside of Krakow, where my husband could have expert surgery at an affordable cash cost. Every detail worked like clockwork, EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK IN INFORMATION RETENTION BY RYANAIR. It cost us an extra £110, because the service representative could find no record, online, that I had conducted this procedure with them AND THAT THE PAGE HAD CONFIRMED OUR CHECK IN.

Tried to modify flight within 24 hrs. for no fee as they advertise. Website only allows a few changes, then charges you a fee! Customer Service in Ireland is not helpful and would not allow me to speak to a supervisor. Paid the huge fees $241 to make the changes and will fight this extra charge by involving my credit card company. Try not to use Ryanair....

I was traveling from Valencia to London at 5:55 am. I was one of the last ones on the boarding queue, and in front of me was a person with a oversize bag refusing to pay for the extra size. One of the Ryanair staff came to and told me that my bag was oversized as well and I would also have to pay (even though I’ve been traveling with this back for 6 months and I never had to pay extra for it).

I flew with Ryanair from Bucharest to Sofia. The Staff at the counter in Bucharest was awful, I have never experienced anything like that in a decade of frequent flying. I had purchased my wedding gown from Romania and carried it with me as a carry on baggage on the flight. The lady at the check in yelled at me consistently to fold my dress, she just wanted to see it folded before I get on the flight. The yelling took place while I waited in line in front of the entire plane passengers, I was mortified. Additionally I kept explaining I will fold it in the airplane so it will fit for sure. The dress was close to 2,000$ and I explained to her that my wedding is that weekend and I cannot ruin it but I will make it fit. She kept arguing with me rudely in front of people and wouldn't stop.

I recently had an unpleasant experience with Ryanair going from Barcelona to Budapest. The flight was delayed by around 3 hours due to reasons I wasn't told. This has caused spending an extra overnight stay at Budapest with hotel and transport expenses from my own pocket and booking a new flight the next day. Because the flight was delayed by so much I have lost my connecting flight for which I had a 2 hour layover window. No desks were operating when I got to Budapest at around 23:00. Received no apology or guidance at the time of the need. Disappointing experience being a frequent Ryanair flyer. Caused me a lot of problems. I have filled the Ryanair form and also sent an additional query. Have not heard back for almost a month now.
