Currently Playing: Flying RYANAIR For The First Time... Is It Really That Bad?

Thank you for watching! In today's video we take a look at my first experience flying onboard the notorious Ryanair on one of its 737-800s from Porto to London Stansted. Is it really that bad? I tell you my thoughts on that, a bit of Ryanair’s history and more in this comprehensive review. Btw I forgot to mention in the video that I booked through trip.com as I had issues booking through Ryanair itself.

I try my best to provide the most accurate information I can, but please note I cannot 100% guarantee I got everything correct. Ticket inclusions could have changed from when I booked it, and all inclusions may not be listed on this description page. The content shown in this video may not be shown in order of when it was filmed, and may sometimes be from a different day. Videos may also be sped up without it saying so on screen. This video is based on my personal experience and thoughts and could differ for you. I did not inform the airline that I would be filming prior to the flight (unless stated otherwise), and the airline didn't have any say in what made it into this video. #tripreport #ryanair #b737 #boeing #boeing737800 #aviation #flightreview #economyclass
