Ryanair have fucked up the booking I made back in January
Now two weeks before I fly, they've got in touch to say that I have made duplicate bookings and not seperate ones for me and the Mrs.

Total flight cost £54, total to change the name £100. No way to get it done on them, I must pay and appeal and I think we all know how that's going to work out.

Tits

but thats cause Brussels Airlines is shit.

coming back here from Brussels two years ago, we were delayed by 4 hours - no one knew anything - how long it would be, what the problem was, nothing. They couldn't even tell us what it was when the plane finally did arrive.

I once ordred a flight from Gatwick to Larnica, and return, via phone, on Thompson.
When I arrived at Gatwick, the return fight was Pathos, they said "It's not that far, it's the same country", I pointed out it's a 5 hours drive differance, it's like wanting to be in gatwick and ended up in newcastle. "Ohh, never mind, when you get there you can change it around, no problem", so I did my flight, got there, and they told me it was £150 to change it around, which was more than the flight.

In the end, I told them to go fuck themselves, and went with BA on the return flight and extended my trip by a couple of weeks.

I probably could have sued them or something, but lots of offline shit was happening and I couldn't be arsed.

My cousin insists we fly with Monarch at Luton every time to save something like £15 agmonst 4 of us.
The fact that it costs about £50 more in verious things like the cab fair, drinks and food, and that the seats are so tinny that I can't even lower the tray without it digging into me and there are tons of greek grannys insisting that you give up your asile seat and then you get dirty looks when you tell them to fuck right off and there there is _no_ in flight entertainment, seems to be irrelivent to her because she can save her £15.

that's the difference between Wiggy and one of his stoner mates
he can have several joints and still be fine to function, but his mate will have one or two and then not be able to do anything. He'll often say "yeah I'll just have a joint and then I'll come and meet you in town" and never shows up. He also goes to bed early in the evenings, even if he's invited friends round.

the saving by going from BA to Ryanair/easyjet/thompson is going to be at most £30 on a shorthule.
Devide that by the amount of hours, say, 3 hours. Then work out if it's worth spending £10/hour to be comfortable for that amount of time, esspeically if you include that all drinks and snacks are free on BA, which would come to at least £10 on the crap airlines. Plus if there is a fuck up, and fuck ups do happen, it'll cost you more than the flight to fix on the other airlines.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 1 Jun 2010, 15:45, Reply)

Then work out you're spending around £100/day or whatever it is, then is it really worth skimping on £30 to have a bad start to the trip.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 1 Jun 2010, 15:46, Reply)

£30?
I don't think so. Take an average flight to Ireland. If I book in advance and only take hand luggage then on Ryanair it will cost me about £20. If I book same time at Aer Lingus it will cost me at least £80 if not more. That's a sizable difference.

Flying to Rome there is an even bigger difference
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 1 Jun 2010, 15:52, Reply)

I only really know to cyprus, where that is approxmatly the differance, which I thought percentage wise it would be the same.
Maybe it's difference for what they class as holiday destinations and residential ones, or the airport itself, for example, heathrow is more expensive than gatwick or luton.
