Ryan Air Officially Worst Airline!

It seems it isn't just Santa that dislikes Ryan Air.

Online travel service Trip Advisor polled over 4000 people for their opinions on a host of travel related issues. Can you guess who was voted the "worst" airline? Yep, that's right permanent naughty list member Michael o'Leary's Ryan Air. Those polled sited reason such as cramped seating, unfriendly staff and delays.

This is a company, let us not forget that makes its staff pay for their own uniforms and training.

Its a little known fact that Santa doesn't use the Sleigh all year round, simply put after a night in which me and the boys get round nearly 6bn homes, the Reindeer are too exhausted! I have to take flights and subsequently I have sampled the service provided by airline carriers all over the world.

Without doubt the worst is Ryan Air. What particular annoys me is the way their baggage policy is hidden away so that they can extort more money from their passengers. What's more it is totally non-sensical. If there are 4 of you traveling then you each have an allowance of 15kg. That's a total of 60Kg right? So far so good.

Ryan air are all about turn around times to keep their costs low ok? So it would make sense for them to load that 60kg in one bag, two bags even three bags wouldn't it? That would be quicker than loading 4 bags surely. Not to Ryan Air it wouldn't.

Ryan air would charge you in the region of $120 dollars for you trying to help them turn around baggage quickly.

Then in the ultimate hypocrisy Ryan Air try to sue the British Government for implementing baggage checks to protect its subjects from terrorist attacks. The reason? Apparently they slow down baggage check-in.

Here's a thought Mr O'Leary try looking at your own policies first.

I'd leave him a big bag of coal this Christmas but he'd probably find a way to sell it.

Keep those moral compasses pointed at the North Pole.

Santa.
