Re: It's a good thing for the town (mostly)

Ryanair's good sides:
- One of the most 'on time' carriers - flies punctually or even ahead of the schedule.
Cheap. You can find true bargains, flying for under 20 euros p.p., including taxes
Very extensive network
Bad sides:
- Point to point airline only, doesn't care about any connections
Limited baggage allowance
Very limited customer service
I agree with the Ryanair's good and bad sides mentioned by ps1.
My personal opinion is that actually the good sides are far better than the most of rest of airlines anyway.... Punctuality is really good, which is very appreciated... and prices are simply the best, or at least the best offers you can find... I still remember now when Ryanair had offered to pay you 1 pound if you flew with them.... Do you know any other airline that has offered something like this ever?... I don't....
I agree also with the mentioned bad sides...., but in some extend..., I think these are usually general bad sides for many other airlines?.... As an example..., Iberia, which usually charges at least 10 times more for a ticket, has also a limited baggage allowance, otherwise you have to pay the overlimit..., I remember 2 years ago when I had to pay a supplement on my baggage allowance for being only 4 kg over the limit... :?
Anyway, I'm really glad Ryanair has decided to fly to Galicia...., now the other airlines (say Iberia)..., will have to either retire from Galicia or put the prices down..., something they should have done many years ago..., but of course..., this didn't happen because the had the monopoly of Galicia, .... not anymore..... THANKS GOD!!!
One other thing I wanted to talk about is the flight times of the current (Santiago - London) Iberia flight and the future Ryanair flight.
I really hope the Arrival and Departure times of the Ryanair flight will be in the late afternoon or night, and not in the midmorning or midday as the Iberia's flight, this is again just ridiculous!!!
When you have to fly in the midmorning or in the midday, that day is clearly lost... I think the best departure times are usually in the late afternoon or night.
What are your opinions on this regard?
