This last couple of weeks was the first time I have flown on “full service” airlines for years, after being a RyanAir frequent flyer.

Now say what you like about RyanAir, they understood the core brief of “airline”, which is “fly people places you say you’re going to more or less when you say you’re going to”.

The “full service” guys include a lot in the very high prices they charge, but it seems what they don’t include is what you actually want: a plane that goes where it says when it says.

I am … very disappointed in all of you. You know who you are. Go and sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

Oh yeah, I can reliably get a hot gluten free meal on RyanAir too, instead of the excuse “nobody told us” served with a packet of crisps and a can of coke.

BA gluten free was funny, with main course swapped but the roll and crackers the same as everyone else.

Thing is, their selling point is that they offer through ticketing and stuff, which RyanAir don’t, but there’s literally no point in that if, when things go wrong, which they seem to, a lot, they make no attempt to actually get you on your connecting flight and also turn reclaiming your clothes into some sort of messed up escape room.

Airlines have been undergoing enshittification for many years now and the rate seems to be increasing. Flying is just horrible these days.

RyanAir, great budget airline as long as you're not taller than 150cm. Every time I have flown with them I haven't fitted in the seat. I wont use them any more. Jet2 is my preferred carrier.
