Hi Alex, Did you know that if you type your flight number into Google it'll tell you the gate it's flying from so you can get to the gate before most other people 😉👍🏻
Some of the comments on here make me laugh, how can people complain about Ryan air prices. They are so damn cheap and if you abide by the baggage rules there is no issue. Even if you pre pay for bags they are still cheap to use. If people weren’t always trying to sneak on more bags than they are entitled to then Ryan air probably wouldn’t bother to check them. A taxi from town to home on a Saturday night will cost you the same as a return flight to Europe, and yet people still moan. Some people think everything should be free.
Yes, life really is that simple (usually), isn't it? The comments amuse me too. Everyone hates Ryanair, apparently, yet they remain extremely profitable (unlike most airlines) and their planes are usually full of people - they can't ALL be Ryanair's staff, just there for show, surely?
Returned home last night from mallorca and let me just say I'm suffering deep holiday blues right now. If i could jump on another flight ✈️ bk over there I'd be gone in a shot. It's grey wet and miserable bk here in the UK. 😢 I love mallorca ❤
O'Leary will tell you (almost certainly correctly) that Ryanair flights are FULL of people who've sworn they'll never fly Ryanair again. I agree the company sucks in many ways (customer service and marketing especially), but they're cheap, usually reliable (albeit a million times worse than useless when they aren't) and rarely lose your luggage. If you want to waste your heard-earned on other airlines, that is - of course - your right. After all, companies like British Airways never lose luggage, arrive late, or whatever, do they?
@@arthurpewtey wasn’t cheap for me. They messed up the booking & charged me extra. They also messed up the boarding card & charged me extra as well. We now only use Tui for package holidays & have had no issues with them
Hi Alex I have been watching all your videos before we came over on the 10th it was very good information for us to be prepared for the holiday. We flew with TUI it was nice a quick to from the plane to the coach abit of a mix up with the coach for the right 1 but found it in the kept looking on the tui app but never shown. Last been to palma was about 10 yrs ago.
Just flew with Ryanair from Manchester today, not one issue with Ryanair, Manchester Airport or Palma Airport, was surprised how quick we got through both sides.
I was on the 13.05 flight from Manchester All was great till landing, .. felt like the plane had been dropped! Worst landing I've ever had. 😮. Bit of a shock.
Thanks Alex another fab video. As you pointed out people don’t comment on the good flights only the bad ones. So here’s a good review. I flew into Mallorca on Sunday morning with BA from Heathrow. The BA496 07:30 departed at 08:00 due to air traffic delays but we made up time on the flight and arrived at 11.00. Unfortunately we were not on an airbridge so had a short wait for buses. The flight was full but the crew were superb and as I was travelling business class I had a lovely full English breakfast shortly after takeoff. Passage through the airport was busy but delays were at a minimum, even the queue for the passport stamp was marshalled very well and kept moving. We were on a shared luggage belt with a Liverpool flight but the bags came up very quickly and we were out within 15 minutes or so. All in all a very satisfactory, if a little busy, flight and transit through Mallorca airport. I’m now writing this in my favourite resort, Port de Soller, having just enjoyed a pizza at a local restaurant. 🙂🙂🍷.
When we were in Alicante in March, Ryanair were fine with baggage. We were in a queue at the boarding gates alongside an Easyjet and their passengers were not happy they were having to pay extra for ill-fitting hand luggage while Ryanair were letting passengers on with their hand luggage no problem, no sizing required. We dislike Easyjet, particularly at Palma, and Paphos where they heard you and push you into lines. Had this a few times with them and we'd only ever use Easyjet as a very last resort. Jet2 first, Ryanair second, any other airline if we can't get a flight for times we need with Jet2 or Ryanair. Used Ryanair regularly for many years, no problems at all, used Easyjet a few times and there's always incidents with them. Plus, Ryanair has the best coffee of all the airlines.
You was lucky my 2 sisters and myself was flying to Palma airport in May this year with Ryanair the secrurity was checking our suitcase scanning our lotions with swabs like they do for looking for drugs, then checking gate checking size of our suitcase my sister got fined 70 pound as the little wheel was hanging off I said let me push it back in with my foot it fitted when I did, Her daughter used the same suitcase 3 weeks before nothing happened, They was just pulling random people and fining them.
The new scanners are much better at speeding things up. All Bristol Airport has to do now is to sort out the state of the car parks, bin off the charge to use a luggage trolley and to stop charging an absolute fortune to drop someone off. Then we may have a half decent Airport.
The strictness about luggage is a Bristol Airport thing. The gates are enclosed, the baggage size checkers are right as you enter the enclosed area AND they have someone positioned just to catch you as you enter the space. Had the same experience in January but with an Easyjet flight. Yes, the airlines have their rules, but staff at other airports tend to challenge the very obviouse chancers.
Flew on the same flight as Alex. No problem, you get what you pay for. By the way, met Alex and daughter at Bristol airport. What a lovely pair they are. Gave me a great tip about buying sun beds etc at Palma Carrefour. Thanks for amazing videos.
We are just back from 10 days in Mallorca and had no problems with queues at the airport at Palma, always got through pretty quickly. Longest queue was coming back through Glasgow passport control.
If Bristol was as good as Palma, I'd enjoy using it much more. Palma airport is a breeze and feels chilled, in the UK....not so. Dual energy scanners are cool, like a CT scan.
Bit of a scaremongering headline this one… Bottom line is really don’t take what hasn’t already been paid for and you won’t need to pay anything extra. Have flown to Mallorca loads with Ryan air, suitcases always slightly underweight, sensible sized backpack to carry on, check in online, no issues. Bit cramped on flight so we always pay for front with extra legroom even so it’s 2 hours not a 9 or 10 hour long haul. Only time we’ve ever been delayed has been caused by other airlines being stuck on gates and not Ryanair’s fault. Have flown with other airlines and it’s not all that different tbf…
Sorry to tell you but on 28th July 2024 had exactly the same experience on a Ryanair flight as your flight from hell. Nothing has changed, air stewardess continued to serve alcohol, when asked about the behaviour it appears Ryanair has basically told them to suck it up even if pushed around. Loads of people were intimidated there has to be a health and safety issue but Ryanair don’t care as long as they make money. They won’t make any from me as never ever again will I leave my self open to an experience like that. Never ever am I flying Ryanair, hell can freeze over first.
Large coffee in Spain airport was almost fiver aswell,airports everywhere expensive.ryanair 1 bag allowed to fit under the seat what's the problem,not 2 or 3 or bigger than it says.you won't get air fare cheaper than ryanair,there at least 2 to 3 hundred cheaper than the others for the same journey.hence why you use them , correct.enjoyed vlog but like I've said everywhere seems little quieter this year and will only get worse if the prices Keep going up . 👍 👍
Been to Majorca and back with Ryanair this weekend...Just. Will never fly with them again. Tried to bump us off a flight on the way out because they'd overbooked and then coming back they nearly put us ALL on a plane to Bristol instead instead of Manchester. Joke of an airline.
is the lounge open yet? Been closed for quite some time now. Bear in mind that, security side, t's gonna be more expensive hence the lounge is the best way to be able to eat and have some drinks while waiting for the aircraft as it works out cheaper than using the departure shops/restaurants. The bag sizer reminds me why I never fly with Ryanair. it's ok if you got hand luggage that definitely fits. If you're bringing stuff in the hold, Ryanair is more expensive than BA who don't measure your bags and treat you like scum. Thanks for reminding me why I never fly Ryanair, that and their Boeings really puts me off. Think I'd pick sleasyjet if I only had hand luggage. Something else to bear in mind is that Ryan/Easy also really push their timeslots so will usually gain a delay to the plane over time making the later flights more prone to delays. If only BA were at Exeter or Bristol, that would be great
I live ryanair for me personally have had more ussue with full service airlines but that just luck, cant ever get my head around the amount of people shocked at the baggage rule. Simple follow the rules and will get on fine. The guy at the airport is simply doing his job
If your flying Ryan,you take your chances,they are experts at ripping you off. Just make sure that you get the correct size,for your hand luggage, or it can cost you.
That break was over all too soon for you Alex. I never used to bother taking a passport in case I lost it. Ryan air is bit of a rip off. I'd rather walk back and save my money to get a cheap coffee in mallorca. 🌞🌞
Never had an issue with Ryanair generally go out on time and they are a cheap and cheerful airline you don’t expect much. As long as they get me there then that’s all I’m bothered about
Imagine how useful it would be if you measured all the sizers at the airport so we know exactly the size of the bags we can bring for each airline! And don't say "just check the website". We want to know what the sizers allow, no one is checking bags at the airport with a ruler.
We flew home last week and I have to say this we encountered the most horrible Spanish Ryan air check in staff we have ever encountered, she started by saying why are you late to wich I said why is check inn closed she said no but why are you late I said well. We were stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway because they decided to cut the grass and take it to one lane so that's why but if checkout is still open what's the problem she just ignored me ,then said wait around the other at the assistance desk wich we did but it was unmaned so I said iam not waiting here so we walked further down to another station wich was maned and they just took us through a door through security and done easy she set us up to fail I have no doubt why who knows but to make it even more ridiculous the flight was delayed by 90 minutes ,we later spoke to other passengers on our flight and they said we were behind you and were wondering why it took so long for you to put your bags through until they got to her and she started on them slamming things around and speaking spanish ,crazy ,I wouldent mind after getting through we still had a 2 hr wait,lucky it wasn't July 😢 😊
Love hearing all the moaning about rip off Ryanair. They offer the cheapest fares & if you follow their rules you'll be just fine. Despite their unfair reputation they fly more passengers than any other airline in Europe so they must be doing something right. Ryanair should offer another fare category specifically for rule breakers, this should be 4 -5 times the normal fare with free drinks & food onboard and no restrictions on bag size. They can then sit back and relax safe in the knowledge that they have not been 'stung' by Ryanair..
The rules on flying Ryan Air are clearly stated. Don’t see what your problem is. Ryan Air is still the best economy airline and the safest in the world. If you have the money to fly more expensive airlines off you go.
Easyjet are the same, it's like Alex says, the baggage checkers must all be on commission otherwise they wouldn't be so picky over 1mm deflection on a case.
@@kevinbegley5881you seem very anti budget airlines . The reason there so strict on the case size is so 3 cabin cases can fit in each over head locker . But hey , you can stick with tui and jet2 if you have £500 for a flight ! Unfortunately for me , I don’t so I’ll stick with the budget airlines
i would never fly Ryan Air i understand their cheap "Scotsman in Tenerife" would rather pay more for peace of mind, I'm a pensioner and not a wealthy one you will not get me on Ryan Air!!
@@anthonyhull1274 apparently he's a pensioner who who would rather pay more to go with another airline, pensioners need money but this one would rather cut of his nose to spite his face rather than fly cheap with ryanair more fool him
@@TheChrisvigeI had a nightmare flight with BA last year . Took 4 months to get my compensation . Got compensation off easyjet within 4 days the previous year . There’s a snobbery towards to budget airlines however BA , jet2 and TUI offer nothing more for European flights .
Thanks, nice video but totally misleading and unfair title IMHO. I suspect we all know what these low cost airlines are like by now. Just play by the rules - small bags!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun You mean to say they’ve made the bag measuring racks smaller and not announced new, smaller dimensions? If so that is indeed very, very naughty and your title could allude to the fact of a complete money-grabbing rip off. ;)
