In Brief: Woman Sings Out Her Frustrations With Airline Fees in “The Ballad of Ryanair”
Jesse Tabit June 23, 2015
A woman who apparently had enough of low-cost carrier Ryanair’s fees recently relieved her frustrations through a song at an Irish pub. The woman, Frances Kennedy, was captured on video singing about the airline’s extensive repertoire of fees for things like checked bags and airport check-in.
Frances’ performance, sung to the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky, included such lyrics as: “I didn’t read the small print, the tax was a disgrace and another €100 if you want to take your case.” The original song has since been dubbed The Ballad of Ryanair.
Ryanair responded to Kennedy’s performance with a simple statement. “The only relevant aspect of this six-year-old song is that our fares are still lower than Aer Lingus and every other airline.”

I don't get it, how can people NOT know about all their fees by now. As much as I dislike Ryanair, their fees are all there on their website but of course it does require people to have some reading comprehension.
As you see everybody has another way of taking frustrations out. My compliments to this lady! Karel Koes Hiranjgarbh Missier Paragh
