We may be going from Gatwick now, but are organising our June holiday first (the Ryanair one is October. If we go from Gatwick we can go BA. |

Errol so what was your experience that makes you agree with Rollos comment? |

We fly with Ryanair at least once every year. We've never been delayed either going or coming back and have had no cause for complaint in the last twelve years. They have rules like any other airline but, if you abide by them, you won't have a problem. We always have a good meal before we fly so can't comment on the food they serve, although we have bought some snacks on a few flights. We're going with them again in June from Bristol to Ibiza, as we do every year. |

Oh yes, meant to answer Errol's 'you get what you can afford to pay for' Not if it isn't available you don't. |

ERRol, many moons ago you did tell me that you had been to Tenerife, once, and many years ago. You were on a walking holiday. You enjoyed the experience, or so you said at the time. Never once did you mention a knife wielding local bandit! |

Another way of 'reading' Ann's comment "Not if it isn't available you don't." - there may only be budget airline flights available from her prefered airport at the time/period she wants to travel! |

A valid comment nonetheless - it merely means that if people pay for a budget airline then that is precisely what they will get and many people choose that option because it is all that they can afford to keep holiday costs down. |

I have flown Ryan several times with no problems, not my 1st choice but then I am not yet a millionaire So I close my eyes and fly and be thankful that I land as I do with every other airline. The only airline I will not fly with is flybe. |

Thanks Uzzi, Det's comment was correct, it was only Ryan air flying there at that time from Birmingham. Then we were going to go BA from Gatwick but while discussing it the price rocketed up. Realised that the second week we are booked for is half term in Scotland. Lanzarote is very popular with Scots. |

I'd be happy with any airline that did direct flights from Cardiff but sadly they are few and far between. |

We have often done Tenerife north via Madrid with Iberia from Heathrow. It is a long day but it works well. |

True Tenerife N is far more civilised than the rest of the place but by far the maj. of tourist go to Tenerife for cheap hotels, all day english breakfast, clubbing, very loud music, cheap alcohol and so on and so forth. Much the same in Ibiza and other Spanish islands and enclaves. |

Seems they prioritised taking off on time rather than waiting for supplies. |
