With Ryanair we stand in the jetbridge for 20 minutes in the cold, then walk down to the tarmac, back up to the plane, sit in the freezing cold plane for 20 minutes before they close the door.
Here in Brussels, Ryanair make you walk to your plane through outside corridors. Then they make you wait to board. It can be -5 or 35, they don't care.
Going back to the topic, I have been bussed with all airlines I frequently use (AF, BA, LH, KL,AY). I only used TK and QR once with stopovers. I have been bussed 4 times each. The only airline I used without bussing is IB in Madrid!
