If they mean it, these are all very welcome changes.
Can it be that Ryanair is going “mainstream”????
Apart from being the Airline that people most like to criticise – Ryanair offer me the opportunity of going anywhere in Europe for under $50.
Its the Greyhound bus of Europe.
You get a seat and you arrive in less then 2 hours.
I don’t want Trans Atlantic Service.
Just relax – read the newspaper – arrive safely.
I don’t expect any Silver Service at these prices !
This morning’s Skift newsletter lists an article about RyanAir. I quote: “Ryanair Holdings Plc will limit the use of bright yellow in its cabins and uniforms as Europe’s biggest discount carrier embraces a more refined look…”. Who was that politician that mentioned “lipstick on a pig”? (I know, I just won’t say the name), but a useful phrase in this context, Mr. O’Leary. Skift article here.
RyanAir is the only airline I swore to never fly again, under any circumstances, and I haven’t abandoned that stance. Given the management remains the same, as far as I know, I see no reason whatever to be seduced by any promises they conjure for the purpose of seeming to be what they aren’t, an entity I’d give my money. Not a chance.
