Ryanair often gets a rough ride from its customers. My own experience, however, has always been very positive. I use Ryanair on many occasions during the year have have always found it reliable. I would travel by Ryanair in preference to other budget airlines and even national carriers. Easyjet and Vueling are, in particular, to be avoided, the former for cancelling flights at the last minute causing great and expensive inconvenience and Vueling for serious delays to delivering baggage. British Airways is none too wonderful either, also best avoided. My only difficulty with Ryanair is the small legroom and uncomfortable seating but on a short flight and at Ryanair prices one cannot complain.
