Ryanair Flights

In 1985, Ryanair was established as a small company in Ireland. Lately, it has transformed into the largest low-cost airline in Europe. Ryanair's largest hub is at London Stansted Airport, with its second-largest base at Dublin Airport. The airline operates daily flights to 178 destinations in Europe, providing services to 50 million people a year.

Since 1991, the low-cost airline has switched its traditional model of services to the “low fares, no frills” model. Its main idea is booking at the lowest prices, without additional privileges for passengers. In fact, the company operates the majority of its flights to regional airports; passengers are required to get from the terminal to the gangway on foot, which significantly reduces the cost of flights. As a low-cost company, Ryanair is the safest airline in the world, which can be proved by the fact that it has not faced a single emergency situation throughout its history.

Ryanair travel classes

Nowadays, Ryanair offers an economy-only product. Since the airline is a low-cost carrier, priority services are not provided on board. The main task of the company is to deliver the passenger to the destination.

Ryanair check-in

Today, people can check-in online 48 hours ahead of their flight. There is no registration fee. After registering through the company's website or using the application, you must print out your boarding pass or save it on your smartphone in order to demonstrate it at the airport.

Menus on board

All snacks and meals are chargeable on board. Meals can only be pre-ordered on flights departing from Dublin in the morning. During the flight, passengers can purchase meals from the proposed menu for an additional fee.

Ryanair flying with children

Children under the age of 16 are not allowed to use Ryanair services without an adult. The child must be included in the booking of an adult.

Ryanair loyalty program

Ryanair does not have a customer loyalty program. In turn, passengers can book a Flexi Plus ticket, which offers the opportunity to benefit from expedited check-in, as well as priority check-in and boarding.
