How Ryanair Could Cost You 3,000€

"Yesterday, I flew my first Ryanair flight in over two years. Friends have asked how I could do that, claiming that I am always telling people not to fly Ryanair. But I have never said any such thing. To me, flying Ryanair is like jaywalking - it's risky, it could go horribly wrong, but sometimes it's the only practical thing you can do. If I had wanted to get from Seville in Spain to Fez in Morocco, I would have faced a bus journey to the coast, a ferry from Spain to Morocco and then another bus to my final destination. And anyway, how else can I learn about Ryanair than if I don't fly with them? And, oh, how much I learned. For example, I learned that my suspicions on how Ryanair manages to get the best punctuality record in Europe were right. Find out how they do it here: Ryanair Punctuality."
