Filthy, greedy weasels trying steal out tax money.

I'll join your boycott, but i doubt they will notice as I never flew with them anyway

does say if they win they will give the money to charity in the article? Seems as if they are doing it to make a point - just can't see what it is really!

Hello

They were (are) just doing it for publicity. I saw the press conference with a Churchill look-a-like.

I would if they weren't flying me out to Riga on Friday...!

Pikey airline, I'd rather pay more to fly with a decent airline than have to fly with them.

Consider me added to the boycott.

I'll second that

Ryanair say they are going to allow you to use mobiles on their planes from 2008.
That will be another reason to boycott them !! God help the person who sits next to me on a plane yabbering on a phone for hours on end

Have only flown with them the once, and was good value I thought.

Think the guy ( O'Leary) has every right to be peed off with the government with their confused and well over the top security measures after the last wave of arrests.

Is it just me that remembers the absolute farce surrounding the cancelled flights and long queues at the airports?

sadly they are the only airline which can get us to where we need to go in Ireland.

I strongly disagree with a lot of their sneaky tactics. This baggage thing is a case ('scuse the pun) in point. They make SUCH a song and dance at this end when you are outbound. But coming home, you could bring the entire contents of the hotel room and they would'nt blink an eyelid.

Flying BMI baby tomorrow, just hope the pilots have abandonded their strike action.

There is nothing pikey about Ryanair at all, I've had better flights with them than many major carriers. If it's the people you are flying with that's the issue then it's the places you are going too; stop going to pikey resorts.

Yup! Three of us flew to Sweden with them, we had to pay 40 odd quid extra on the way out cos two of the bags were overweight yet on the way back we rearranged exactly the same stuff between all our bags including hand luggage which didn't even get weighed, no extra charge!

O'Leary has been acting like a petulent child ever since the baggage restrictions. Many airlines suffered, BA lost 10x the amount that Ryanair did but he is the only one saying he'll sue the Government for loss of earnings. He's got a bee in his bonnet because his business model doesn't agree with the current policy.

I actually quite like the smaller baggage allowance, quite frankly I am sick of people taking everything but the kitchen sink onboard planes and the accompanying free for all as soon as the seatbeat signs turn off. More than a few times some heffer has hit me on the back or shoulder while struggling with an obscenely heavy bag from the overhead lockers.

And mobile phones on planes would be a nightmare. ("Hiya.. we're just flying over you house now, can you see us? etc, as well as the incessant beeping of SMS when you are trying to have a nap.)
