Some were drunk, some complained about nuts not being served in a small bowl, etc. I'd like a source on your that "this kind of incidents daily" on FR/U2. FWIW the problem isn't any better on other airlines (e.g. have a look at the thread in the BA forum where a drunk passenger well onto a FT's +1 in business class).



I haven't seen Ryanair advertise a lounge and I don't think that the typical FR passenger seeks that kind of perk. Re: punctuality, FR seems to do reasonably well. As far as planes are concerned, FR has a relatively aggressive fleet policy, makes large orders with hefty discounts and keeps their fleet very young. Their current average is 6.8 years. U2's average fleet age is in a similar range. That's not too bad. For comparison: LH 11.6 yrs, BA 13.7 yrs, AF 12.8 yrs, KL , AA 10.3 yrs, DL 16.8 yrs, UA 14.5 yrs, WN 10.8 yrs, B6 9.6 yrs.

PS: I don't understand your dislike for European LCC. It does what it says on the tin. It's a cheap way to get from A to B. What makes them so much worse than their Asian and American counterparts?

PS2: Oh, and my last Ryanair trip was $1.23 for a return (including exit row). Had a nice day trip from London to Spain.
