Does anyone remember when Ryanair were an airline, not a punchline?

I flew with them once, because they went from an airport much closer to me than the big carriers like BA. I'm not a fan of flying generally, but this was such an unpleasant experience that if I ever make the same trip again, I will surely fly from a different airport with a different carrier even if it means a significantly longer journey from home to airport.

I've flown with Ryanair a few times between the UK (Prestwick) and Sweden - I thought it was perfectly OK.

However, their website is an abomination.

My only real problem with Ryanair is no one wants to compete with them. They are a bit like a virus. Once fully established in an airport, their competitors scale down and move away. Worse still, if they decide to move on themselves because the airport starts charging normal rates, that airport is then in a poor position.
