Just when you thought Ryanair airlines couldn't get any cheaper (and I use that word in the 'stingy and mean' sense) - not only are they hiking the price of stowed bags in summer months from £15 to £20, but they'll be charging you to use the toilet!

Yep, that's right - £1 to spend a penny on a Ryanair flight. Next they'll be charging you for oxygen too.

Yet another reason to fly BBI or Air Lingus etc to Ireland and other European destinations. By the time you compare their total cost to the total cost of extra fees + inconvenient seating + the sheer total bloody aggravation of Ryanair, they come out streets ahead.

Aer Lingus always, always, always ends up being a better deal than Dickhead O'Leary's Wanktrain in the Sky. Why yes, I do feel aggrieved by feckin Ryanair!

I'm flying Aer Lingus to Vilnius in June with [livejournal.com profile] puddingcat (and hopefully [livejournal.com profile] new_kate, if she can indeed take time off then)! We aim to sample the delights of Lithuanian cuisine and culture, and (mostly) booze. In a fit of confidence I'm attempting to learn some Lithuanian - it appears to be a language constructed by sadists. Seven cases, dude? Really? Perhaps I'll just learn "another bottle of vodka, please" and leave it at that :-)

Vodka? The Polish drink? Shurely you mean Lithuanian Death Juice, dude!

(Have just had to explain the bout of cackling that resulted from your name for RyanAir.)

Just be careful with the plum brandy - one of the only two times I've had alcohol poisoning was from that. [shudders at the memory]

I've been warned of the LDJ by a friend who gave it that name :) I have a feeling it was actually this, or possibly this. We have plenty of time to try both!

Oooh, Vilnus is supposed to be lovely. Take lots of photos! Had some friends go to the country next door (Latvia?) which they said was gorgeous.
Seven cases?!!? Whoah. How on Earth do you manage to think that up?
Yup, that sounds like the important bits to learn. [grin]

I'm amazed that a company run like this can still stay in business! The ultimate cheapskates' airline!

Yep, and they laid off a whole
lot of staff last year too!

Heh, I'd been avoiding RyanAir because they were always damned inconvenient, but now I can avoid them on principle, too. Wee, principle ;)

(sorry, had to update for more appropriate icon)

LOL! Very appropriate!
Heh, he's looking for principle and has lost his principles along the way...
I've taken them to Scotland and Dublin from London - never again though.
