As long as they DO get you from A to B you're fine.

Most Ryanair horror stories are about the times when they DIDN'T get passengers from A to B... like those Scottish passengers that got stuck in Lubeck last month (I happened to be in Lubeck at the same time). For those who are not familiar with the story, the aircraft went tech and the passengers were offered the choice between:

- a full refund (great if you were on a "free" ticket)
- seats on the next available flight (a minimum wait of four days as flights for the next three days were fully booked), or (wait for this!)
- seats on a flight to Italy

I understand that most of the stranded passengers (many of them elderly) ended up going home by train - a VERY long journey.

I appreciate that most Ryanair flights operate without a hitch... but it's the times things go wrong that worry me. I would never book a Ryanair flight if I have to get from A to B... at least not without making sure I had alternatives in case things go wrong.
