Yeah, damn Ryanair. I paid about 70 euros for a one way ticket to Luton
from Dublin (was coming back on the ferry via Dilwyn's house) so not bad.
Met roadworks on the way to the airport which delayed me by over an hour,
and I missed my flight. OK, I'll pay a small fee and be on my way I thought
- sorry, no "late fee", I had to buy another ticket from scratch!! Another
70 euros later, its getting expensive. I go to check in my bags at the
desk, and I'm told I'm overweight (well, I'm a big guy, I could have told
them that ;-))
"No... Your suitcase is too heavy sir.. that'll be another 84 euros
please..."
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT???
I couldn't believe it, but had to pay it as I was already 3 hours late
meeting Steve at Luton.
What really annoyed me was that the flight was EMPTY - there were about 20
people max on the boeing 737 and yet they charged me extra for weight!!
Never again - the contrast between Stena Line and Ryanair is unreal - Stena
line is 48 euros RETURN to wales and that INCLUDES a return ticket on the
train out to Bangor (from Holyhead) near Dilwyn's house. No Contest.
Still, the show was fun, although I didn't sell that much, and I agree with
Chris cave's comment on the food - excellent bit of catering from Roy's
wife and family, and cheap too. That Lemon cake was to die for, and the
Sandwiches... ;-)
