I flew 10 separate flights with Ryanair last summer, all within a month, all around western Europe and Morocco. Nothing spectacular, but not a single complaint. I was alone for all but one of the flights and typically boarded in the middle. Lucky for me, everyone always went for the very front or very back seats for easy off access and I had an entire row of emergency exit seats to myself for nearly every flight. The buses out to their respective airports (Girona, Beauvais, Ciampino) were annoying sometimes. But I liked the smaller airports. Met very nice airport personnel at BVA and BHD. I ended up stranded in Pisa one night due to a late flight and the airport staff knew nothing of any busses to Florence for the night. Luckily, the random b&b I told the cab to take me to had availability.

I recommend it to other people. It was a lot cheaper than trains and since I booked in advance, I know I saved a lot of money comparatively.
