    Where to start! The mobile site does not let you enter your DOB except by flipping back one month at a time from today's date. When you finally give up and use a laptop they finally inform you that you cannot have a boarding pass and need to go to the counter. How many 1000s of human hours have been wasted going in a circle this way because of nothing less than rank incompetence and apathetic indifference. These are trivial things to code, this company is willing to simply crap on their customers. Shame on everyone involved.

    I would avoid this airline at all costs. For anyone familiar with Spirit or Frontier---Ryan Air is worse. Experience from airport to landing to connecting flights were not good. I travel the world and experience many airlines but this one takes the cake. You would be better off burning your hard earned cash than flying Ryan Air.

      Staff very rude and shouting at passengers while doing the boarding. The size of the handbag that they want you to have has to be very very small and most of the time even if the bag fits in their "baggage stand" they would still say it's not OK, shouting. Very bad experience. I will definitely won't be using Ryanair again. And the flight was 45 minutes delayed. They know to take money from people for mostly nothing and they can't even leave on time. Definitely NO for Ryanair.

      The cost looks great at first but they ding you for everything! Don’t check in early enough? You pay extra. Have a bag larger than a backpack? You pay extra. Want a beverage? You guessed it…extra costs. You also have to walk outside to board plane, rain or shine. You will have to carry your own luggage up the flight of stairs to the cabin. This isn’t easy for older adults or people with kids. The staff is very unfriendly and seem to enjoy making your life harder.

      He is scamming innocent customers into paying for checking in luggage even when it fits in their test boxes and fits in their cabins. He held my prepaid cabin luggage and flight hostage unless we paid £150! (by comparison, the short hour flight was less than £40 even with prepaying for the cabin bags) for our prepaid cabin luggage to be double charged as check in luggage too.

      On top of that, he never even took our bags for check in, we took our bags on the flight and stored them in the cabin as we originally paid for them. We took 2 other Ryanair flights (3 in total) in 2 weeks with the same bags without issue but this crook and his female coworker targeted us out of the line to say we violated their baggage sizes policy which clearly we didn't. Our bags fit without issue. It was obvious that they are making commission. How can anyone condone this from a company? The employee in this image refused to show me his badge as clearly he knew he was robbing me. I refuse to let ryanair and their criminal employees get away with this. Avoid this man and this airlines at all cost. They are refusing to refund me as well. I filed a dispute with my credit card company and hope there is some hope for justice in the world.

      The app glitched and wouldn't let me check in; when I got to the airport, they acknowledged that I had tried but still charged me $220 Euros. Dishonest, I don't mind fees for a low fair, but if it's your fault, fix it. Never again. The service agent was rude on top of it, and the customer service barely even bothered to read my email.

      Garbage airline that manufactures last minute charges. By the time you are told it is too late to change anything. You will also wait outside in the cold and rain despite the plane not having even been deplaned.

      Ryan Air’s carry-on size limit is 22x16x8 in. My carry on was 20x14x8. My wife and I were the last one to board the plane because it was our second flight. We traveled with the same size carry on. They asked me to put my in the box and see if it fits. It was 0.5 inch higher because of the wheels. They say it’s oversize and will charge me $100. I asked him for a measurement tape, to prove that my car on is with in the limit. They didn’t have one. I was ready to remove the wheels, but they didn’t let me. My wife and I travel a lot and never had a problem with our carry-on luggage. It is a scamming practice and it will be my last flight with Ryan Air.

      My son is 10 with a hidden Disability. We had exit seats booked. A child can't sit on exit seats so asked crew to move seats. Son was wearing his sunflower lanyard but crew ignored this and asked to sit him (10-year-old with Autism) alone. I told the crew he has a lanyard to make them aware he has a hidden disability. They replied "Don't be rude" to me only due to me making them aware he has a disability!

      We then moved seats and sat down quietly. After we sat down one of the crew shouted loudly, "We still have time to kick them off the plane" as she walked off to show off her ego. This is how Ryan Air Treated my 10-year-old Autistic Boy for no good reason at all. Bullying my son and threatening to de-board a 10-year-old disabled child.

      I made a complaint and they replied by saying they acknowledge their crew were "discourteous" and "could have handled it better." No apology at all and just fobbed us off. Ryan Air claim to be part of the sunflower lanyard network to recognize and assist passengers with hidden disabilities. The reality is they acted with impunity with my disabled child and treated him very badly. We have all the correspondence with Ryan Air to prove this. Anyone who has a hidden disability should read this review.

      Disgusting business practices. Charges for things that are not clearly presented. Warning - if you don't electronically check in 24-hours in advance - add another $60 per ticket!!! Miss it by an hour? Add the $60! Employees clearly hate their employer. You can see it on their face, as they are on the front line of PISSED customers. Luggage - - get ready to get everything measured, and challenged if it's a tight fit in their undersized box. Yep, another charge.... Simply sickening how the drive for cash flow is at the expense of overly taxing rules that are created to make it difficult to travel within the fabricated box.

      Ryanair author review by Erika Armstrong

      Ryanair is a Dublin based low-cost airline that is Europe’s busiest international airline by passenger numbers. They fly 1600 flights daily to 185 destinations and boast the most on-time flights of any airline in Europe.

      • Won’t lose your baggage: Ryanair claims to have the most innovative way of handling baggage which they boast is nearly “perfect”.

      • Low cost: They don’t hide that they are the cheapest for a reason and they’ll do anything to keep air travel affordable. In exchange for unbeatable fares, be prepared for non-reclining seats, no seat-back pockets, safety cards on the back of seats and life jackets stowed overheard.

      • Price guarantee: If you find a cheaper fare on a qualifying route with another airline, then they will pay “double the difference” between the air fare paid to Ryanair and the lower fare quoted on another carrier, but watch the fine print.

      • Newest fleet: Ryanair claims to have the newest, greenest and quietest fleet of aircraft in Europe (primarily newer/retrofitted Boeing 737s).

      • Business Plus: Even though they have the lowest fares, they offer a Business Plus program that can help you get through security faster.
