Not my idea of a nice flight. Ryanair will be using more Boeing 737-800 aircraft on this rout. Not my idea of a nice flight.

The only problem i do find is that their airport destinations are always miles from the city, ie Brussels and Paris airports both add on an extra hour journey time..that is a real pain.

With regard to business class, yeah, we'll see... O'Leary, always keepin' it classy, did promise "beds and blowjobs" when they <a href="http://crankyflier.com/2008/06/18/oleary-wants-to-offer-blowjobs-on-airplanes/" rel="nofollow">floated the idea</a> in June... <object width="380" height="307"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UfIY24BErBE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UfIY24BErBE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="307"></embed></object> I like the idea of using your own candles.

From the top: your method of payment, every possible method of payment they can think of bar one that's not available to beyond 2% of the population. Check in, bags, seats, reclining seats, boarding number, exit rows, aisle seats, window seats, centre seats, carpets, water, your own water, food, your own food, drinks, trash, magazines, reading your own magazines, in-flight entertainment, your own in flight entertainment, a pilot, a co-pilot, cabin crew, bag handlers, airport security, the road to the airport, your own car, the house you live in, the house you don't live in, the ability to complain, the ability not to complain, engines, wings, glass in the windows, electric light, using your own candles, seat cushions, life vests, a safety demonstration, not watching the safety demonstration, a smile, a scowl, toilets, toilet paper, soap, lights in the toilet, the toilet door, the lock on the toilet door.... you get the picture? And no, they won't do business class, that's just O'Leary pulling your chain.
