Advantages: Cheap Tickets and new planes

Disadvantages: Italian Crew- Were not really fluent in English! Plane arrived Rome Ciampino very late!

I flew Ryanair from Durham Tees Valley Airport last July to Rome Ciampino! Having heard so many bad things about the airline I was unsure about how the flight would be!

It was a free seating flight, so it was a matter of pushing your way in and grabbing a seat! The tickets were really cheap at only £10 each! (excluding taxes), So there I felt i'd really bagged a bargain!

On boarding at Durham Tees Valley Airport, I was really pleased to see the plane opperating the route was one of the new 737-800's with the leather style seating, the yellow really brightened the cabin up! It was clean and the leg room was pretty average to most other airlines. I noticed they'd removed the recline from the seats (must be to save on maintainance and leg room etc?),also the safety cards were stuck to the back of the seats and the magazines and inflight menus for food you cna purchase were handed out after take off and collected in before landing! There really wasnt anything you could take away from this airline!! They are sooooo tight! But i assume saving money wherever possible counts- and thats how the costs of the tickets are kept low!

The crew were really friendly- they had smart profesional looking uniforms, but my only concern was during the safety demonstration as I couldnt understand everything they were saying- though they were speaking it in English!

The flights outbound and inbound were both on time! I really could not fault ryanair for anything really! Only on the Fluency and also on the flight time for the outbound!! The outbound flight to Ciampino arrived just before midnight and me and my friend didn't have a clue where we were going!! The taxi fare was a rip off! 30 euros for a 10 minute taxi ride!

Getting back to the airport was easy! there was a bus for 1 euro from a central Rome sttaion which we got to via the metro! bargain!

Summary: Would fly Ryanair again!! They are so cheap!
