UK Flyer

OK, I know free means you pay the taxes etc etc, but that goes for all airlines...can you tell me of many airlines that allow you fly, if all you pay are the taxes!!!

And of course you would expect to pay more travelling on weekends and popular travel dates, but speaking from experience, and I am travelling from Dublin 90% of the time, FR generally speaking offers better value for money than EI.

As for service, ask any of the 290 passengers at Dublin about 2 months ago, after their DUB-LAX flight was cancelled how they were treated by the national airline..me thinks you might be very surprised at how "caring" Aer Lingus was about their troubles.

As for Frankfurt Hahn not being as far from FRA as some of your examples.....I can guarantee you, that if you fly into MXP and travel by bus into Milan city, it will take you longer than Hahn to Frakfurt city centre.

CDG into the centre of Paris, by RER takes at least 90 minutes (including exiting the terminal, getting the bus to the RER station) If you fly into BVA, it takes the same length of time to get into the centre of paris on the FR bus

FCo is the airport of choice for Rome by most mainline carriers, but Ryanair fly into CIA...now who flies you closer to the centre of Rome

As long as one realises the type of operation that FR has and service it supplies (or lack of), one cannot be dissapointed. I have flown on many "full service" airlines who live a lie about passenger service, and I have been let by them on numerous flights and told to look after myself, including a cancelled BA flight out of CDG and told to come back the following day and they would "see" what they could do for me
