Oh, dear. Another pejorative post with little to offer except misleading generalisation.
I'm no apologist for Ryanair - they have Michael O'Liary for that. The fact remains that (i) nobody is compelled to fly Ryanair and (ii) what they do they do very well. They also operate to numerous destinations not served by legacy carriers.

True, though as always YMMV.

I must remember to look for the rural roads on my way to "'abandonded' military fields" like STN, LGW, LTN, BHX, MAN, LPL, EDI, DUB, ORK, VIE, PRG, NCE, SXF, BSL, BRE, MAD, KRK, OPO, AGP, ALC, PMI to name but a few of Ryanair's destinations.
Did I mention there´s no miles and no better treatment for FFs?
No need to. It's a
low frills operator, no miles offered, no FF treatment offered. I thought everybody knew this.
