They also claimed that every hotel (roughly 400 in Malaga city) were completely full in October and that they upgraded the crew to the VIP lounge, which has since been found to be also untrue. Poor form from O’Leary. In the photo that’s circulating it only appears to be Cabin Crew?  Ryanair has done a lot to correct their image, new marketing strategy and in areas new management I believe. No matter how much your crew earn no one should sleep on a floor. More strikes and salary increases on the way one would expect.

Ryanair claiming the photo was faked...

Something wrong with my macbook as it won't play videos embedded in tweets, hence the use of the word "claiming".

Was getting a flight with Ryanair from Lviv airport to Warsaw Modlin this morning at 09.35. had a flight then in Warsaw back to Dublin at 13.35 with Ryanair too. So get to airport at 8am, go through security, grab a water and sitting at gate at 08.30. So about 09.05 they say, they will begin boarding soon, plane isn't even at gate. 09.10 plane lands. Tannoy says for all priority customers to come forward. So people stream up and are cramped in a  stairwell immediately behindthegate as is the Ryanair way. SoI'm standing about 2metres to the side of the desk. Screen still says boarding in green, the flight attendants have the tape across the doors still as they clean and last of the passengers get off. So at 09.17  I walk the two metres to the desk and hand over my stuff to board. Passengers still all cramped on stairwell, boarding still on screen at gate, no announcement whatsoever after priority boarding one and guy says the flight is closed, you are late and we have deleted your names. A further 5 passengers who were all standing by the gate waiting for the queues to go down followed over and all hell breaks loose really. Gate staff said I must be at gate 30 mins before departure. I said I was there over one hour before departure. He says you must give documents 15mins before departure. I went the two metres from where I was to gate 18mins before scheduledd departure and 23 mins before actual departure. Having none of it. Had to pay 500 quid to get home today with Lufthansa. All because of some jobsworth in the airport, absolute nightmare. Complained to Ryanair and no joy even though I complied with all their regulations to getting on the flight. Have flown with 22 different airlines and with Ryanair too many times to remember and never have I encountered anything like it. 

At one point one of the gate staff was on the phone and said ok ok, give me your boarding cards and mr.jobsworth then cuts across her and says no no, it's closed. Like I could see the people standing on the stairs metres away. Outrageous. 

f**king hell ...that bate all. Get on to a journo. That'll make front page news and may result in a refund.

“School” bag is fine.

Ryanair have a heap of 737-MAX aircraft on order. I wonder what’s going to happen there. I know Boeing will get to the bottom of it (looks like it could be an issue with airspeed sensors) but until they do, some customers will be jittery.
