]]> Comment on Ryanair: good or evil? by Murphy http://backpackpodcast.com/2009/04/ryanair-good-or-evil/comment-page-1/#comment-110 Murphy Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:02:17 +0000 http://backpackpodcast.com/?p=109#comment-110 Ryanair has taken all of the fun out of travelling.Its a nasty,badly led rip-off company that uses sharp practices to cheat its clients whom it has no respect for. Its a no frills Co in every sense of the word !! Further,BAA,the airport administration Co treats travellers with contempt, it only supplies grossly overpriced car parks & insuffient staff to carry out the necessary security checks. Again, pure greed £££££££ Controls its policies.

My parents lived os for a year and must of visited the Cinque Terre at least four times they loved it so much. Highly reccommended!

Last time I spend there I found a really beautiful small island located near Elba where it's really nice to stay. From my expirience the great thing about shouthern europe is the contrast between the small "fishing" villages and the big cities like Rome, Venice, Florence.

For example: the over inflated £5 handling fee per flight, per person if you don't use Visa Electron and the unavoidable taxes which are lumped on the end. However, I'm in no position to complain, I have no constraints to when I can fly, so it's just a matter of checking skyscanner every now and again and finding the no-tax days. Every time I've flown has been between £5 - £10, ironically less than the coach journey to the airport.
