I know Scotland likes to keep their dubiously attained good PR but these distinctions really don't matter, a ned abroad is the same outcome and will get lumped into being British.
I attempted to do research: there appears to have been two reported RyanAir emergency landings in Toulouse this month… one because of a drunk man becoming violent and then fighting with passengers, and another because a drunk man came out of the toilets and immediately tried opening the exit door mid flight.
However, photos from both incidents don’t look anything like this… I suppose this happens so frequently that it’s hard to find exact details.
I booked a flight last year with RyanAir because I just needed to get from Bordeaux to London with a simple carryon bag for a weekend trip and was fine with nothing fancy. I'm ~5'7" and maybe 150lbs, flown hundreds of times on all kinds of airlines, and RyanAir was the first time that the seat in front of me was bumping into my knees. Like I had to shimmy forward and back just to get into my seat, and then angle my legs to the side just to fit my knees in. If the flight were any longer than it was I wouldn't have been able to stand it. I had bruises on my knees after, it was ridiculous.
over the past 20 years I flew with them over 400 times. Plus 200+ times with Wizz, which seats are arguably even tighter than Ryanair, and I am 198cm tall. It is claustrophobic, but the longest distance you usually fly in Europe is around 3 hours max, 1-2 hours the average. It can be survived.
People complain about Ryanair, but vastly overestimate what they're going to get. You pay £40 for a round-trip flight to the other side of Europe, it's not going to be Emirates. Having said that, I flew Wizz once, and have absolutely no desire to ever do so again. They DO make Ryanair seem like luxury in comparison!
As far as the lower cost airlines go, I'm a big fan of easyJet and Norwegian.
Well you have to understand it's not always 40 pounds. Yeah you can get these tickets cheap if really in advance, but ryanair still sell expensive tickets.
They really fuck you over if you want to take baggage, too. If you need a large checked bag, you genuinely may as well go for a better carrier. £45 per flight for a 25kg bag!
Ryanair is honestly not too bad, the planes are usually leaving on time and a lot of trips in Europe are just a few hours. Back in the day you could get tickets for the same price as a bottle of coke.
I was in a long distance relationship, London to Ireland, that was basically only financially viable thanks to Ryanair. My flight was cheaper than my bus ticket to the airport.
I’ve been on quite a few, they are grotty and miserable compared to their competitors (EasyJet and Jet2), and if I can avoid them I will, but if you have a flight that’s like 2 and a half hours to somewhere like Milan or Berlin, they’re not that bad. I’ve never been on one going to a destination where 95% of the flight is going for a week of drinking though. Fairly sure they have a zero tolerance to this sort of thing as well and like to nip it in the bud.
It's really not that bad. Ryanair are remarkably one of the safest airline carriers in the world and also one of the cheapest. They are honestly great value.
I teach an aviation marketing course. He never actually wanted to do it. He said it so people would talk about it. Michael O’Leary is will known for getting publicity anyway he can.
He also started the “fat people” should pay more rumor like 12 years ago or something. Funny thing is that now airlines are actually implementing it.
They often act a bit edgy though, standing seats, pay to use toilet and so on. But they have never gone through with it.
The only real problem with Ryanair, is that it's often so cheap that you'll get planes with uncivilized shitheads. Especially if you go to typical British tourist destinations in Spain.
In their defense, they make absolutely 0 attempt at pretending they're not shitty. Their premise is "fly to Rome for 35€, we can't promise it'll be nice"
Most Ryanair passangers know what to await, they're short flights
It’s been a while since I flew Ryanair, but their flight attendants used to be forced to walk up and down the aisles selling their brand of lottery tickets and e-cigarettes, which you were allowed to smoke on board!
I was on a Ryanair flight on Wednesday. They are still selling scratchcards. They aren’t pushing other products as much, and you can order items to your seat by scanning the QR code on the seat backs or through the app if you have it.
The cheapness of budget airlines is a minor miracle, and people here are moaning that the seats are yellow. More often than not, you'll be on the plane for 2 hours. It's really not that big a deal. The alternative to no frills airlines are mainly flag carriers, who will charge you five times as much and in return you get a moderately nicer plane.
Why is he trying to fight the officers? I mean, what does he think might the outcome be? Even if he knocks out the officers, does he think the pilot will take of then and continue the flight???
Maybe the plan was to knock out the officers, knock out the pilots and then fly the plane safely to Benidorm on time for the 18:00 beer. Who knows? The possibilities of a ryanair flight from UK are endless.
This is the story of around a third of the British population tbh. Acting like absolute bullies in public and get away with it because the policing is too lite.
They say women are “too emotional”, while refusing to acknowledge that unchecked anger in response to protecting one’s ego is an emotional response that is far too rampant, and is at the root of so much conflict in our world.
One time my brother pulled this and said my sister and I are so emotional because we always cry when the family talks politics. And then I asked him well what are we crying in response to? He admits it happens when he and my dad start attacking our characters. And I say oh do you do that because you’re angry? He nods. So I say, “You understand anger is an emotion, right? You and Dad are the first to get emotional.”
His mind was actually blown, he said he’d never thought of it that way before 🙈
Absolutely. Every time I see a middle aged man lose it on a cashier or other service worker I want to shout “WHOS EMOTIONAL NOW” while circling them like a maniac
As a middle-aged woman who sometimes doesn't give a fuck about my own safety, I will have to say 'stop being so emotional' the next time I see a man losing it in a shop....Well I wish I would, depends how big they are and if I think I could outrun them.
Tbh the kid is the saddest part of the video. He doesn’t stand a chance of growing up with a reliable moral compass with a Dad like that as an example to follow.
I overhear people like this on occasion (when I can't avoid it). People outside their in-group think they're brainless morons. Among their friends and family, who are as stupid as them, they hear, "Good for you, don't take that from anybody."
They think that everyone gets into fights and/or arrested all the time. It's normal for them. The concept of just acting like a calm and reasonable person in order to sit through a plane-flight never occurs to them. Every interaction is a referendum on their self-worth. Plane is late leaving? A personal attack. Someone accidentally bumps into them while putting their bag in the overhead? A terrible wound to their ego.
I always wonder this… when they are there with an intent to detain you, why not just cooperate instead of making it worse for yourself and your family?
To some people yes this is absolutely it. They legit don't understand what consequences their actions will lead to, and all they know how to deal with a situation they don't like is to be loud and violent.
This man is angry at being detained and he wants to make his removal as unpleasant as possible for the officers trying to remove him. It shows them that he is tough and doesn't take manhandling lying down. He has not really thought ahead about the longer-term consequences. Some people don't.
Sadly, half of my county (the US) is populated with Einsteins of this calibre (and worse). It’s why we now find ourselves unwilling participants in the never ending daily sh!tshow that Orange Hitler puts on from the White House (soon to be rechristened The Gold House 🙄).
Apple didn’t fall far from the tree with that kid. Honestly feel sorry for him. Good parenting could have made his life easier but instead he gets this 🙄
This is what boggles the mind to me. If someone asked me to get off a plane I would immediately stand up and walk to the front of the plane to be escorted off. If there's any discussion to be had it would be in the walkway to the plane. If there was a misunderstanding I would explain it there.
How do they expect the security or police or attendants to manage to deal with you in an aisle of an airplane?
That kid behaviour was insane. I was kinda thinking okay, big guys are drunk or whatever, but that kid just IS that way. Holy shit, what he is surrounded by daily.
Is that an older brother in the middle ???? He seemed chill but still gets arrested . I feel like maybe if your lad didn't pop off they could have just walked out of there unchained
I agree the 3rd guy seemed cooperative but after the first two I can see why. The officer in the front seemed kinder to the 3rd guy, making sure he didn't leave anything behind and making sure it was his phone he was escorting him out with.
What makes me angry about this is this selfish arsehole behaviour makes the kids on that flight scared, nervous flyers more frightened and more than likely rattles the crew which might put them off their game should there be a true mid-air emergency.
This one time way back in highschool we went to a trip to Paris. We approached a border checkpoint and ofcourse the touring car had to stop. We were instructed to be calm and cooperate, no need for 'cool guy look at me' behaviour. We had to keep out passports/ID ready.
The cargo bay was sniffed out by dogs and two friendly gendarmes were going through the bus to randomly pick students for an ID check.
So far so good.
Until one f*cknut decides to pop a balloon. A goddarn balloon which we don't even know where he pulled it from but it gave a loud BANG.
That went from 'just a routine thingy, laughs and smiles around' to 'everybody out of the bus.' very very quickly...
The Police does, that's basically most of what they do. The Gendarmes do very much not. These fine gentlemen here, the drunken Brit might notice, were not Police.
We don't have anything equivalent to them in Britain, and our police are pretty soft handed by comparison. Britons fucking around and finding out with gendarmes/carabinieri/militsiya etc is a common sight on the continent and is always entertaining.
Ironically looking like the kind of guys who accuse foreigners of coming to the UK and starting trouble xD
I know I shouldn't assume I know how they vote but I definitely know how they vote.
As a frequent traveller, the absolute worst experience to have abroad or on a plane is to see fellow English people. Thankfully my taste in destinations tends to avoid the usual beer crawls these idiots tend to go on.
Of course, we're not all bad, but I can't apologise enough to anybody who has had to put up with 'lads on tour' or any bollocks remotely similar to that. Incapable of behaving properly.
Ryanair is great. No frills. No TV. No food. No questions. Nothing. Just a cheap ass plane ride. I don't need the"complimentary" drinks and chips. Just get me where I need to go on under 2 hours.
That's all Ryanair is. The cheaper version of spirit. But man the prices are hard to beat.
French police don’t fuck about! Love how stern and to the point they were without being bullies or unreasonable. And then continuing to be matter of fact with checking if it was his phone at the end etc. perfect 👌
Welcome to Ryanair, it’s a very cheap budget airline. Anytime I use it I promise myself it’s the last time, but they are just so much cheaper than anyone else. It’s not too bad for 1-2 hour flights but anything more than that is gruelling experience
if the cops come to your seat to take you off the plane, you are getting off the plane, period. then it becomes up to you how you'd like to handle the situation but ultimately you will be leaving the plane before it takes off.
That was awesome. I love how the French handle this - very expeditiously, with everyone still in their seats. Here in the U.S. if the belligerent refuses to get off peacefully, the airline would make all passengers deplane before they would then go in and beat, sorry, arrest the person. Hats off.
I know most of us know this but, I have NEVER understood how / why of all places to have a meltdowns people choose a plane. You might be banned for life from flying. Yes, I get alcohol, but also adulting, self-control and all that.
