I flew only once with Ryan air, my experience was that I was forced to pay 80 gbp because I hadn't checked in online (when no other airlines force you to do that) and they had us all wait on the tarmac under the rain for 45 minutes before boarding. Plus seats were really cramped.

So, no not worth it for the slight difference of price they offer.

You wanted to play the game, but didn't care to lookup the rules.

Well, I didn't have a choice back then to fly ryanair, they were the only flight that flew from where I was to my destination. I just assumed that they followed the same rules as every single other airlines I had ever flown.

Ryanair make their own rules, other budget airlines have started to follow them now too. As a precaution I never fly without checking in online before reaching the airport.

They can be a bit crap like that but I think I've been stung by a similar fee (luggage small print) about once in 50 flights so it still works out cheaper than most rivals. Choosing to delay your return by a day is also often expensive.
