A flying shithole

To get to Germany and back, I flew with Ryanair for the first time. I never expected much from it because it was pretty cheap and I just wanted a ride. I've been on easyjet a few times and everything was fairly good, but when it comes to Ryanair.... I have to say they have managed to show the world how bad can an airline be. The horrible experience starts from the moment that you type ryanair.com into you computer, then the homepage shows up. For a moment I thought I accidentally gone into some website that some primary school kids created for their school project, but no! it's their actually site... The yellow and blue colour is everywhere and is horrible, the choice of font is a joke. Even booking the ticket is a pain, there are millions of extra charges that you have to click through but I'm not going to go on with that. 
Once you managed to get into the plane after you passed the challenge of fitting your stuff into the metal box (they use it as an opportunity to rip people off another £40 for over size bags) you don't get the normal interior that you would expect, instead everything is blue and yellow, they even stick thousands of ads on the overhead storage. And of course, the seat is in blue with a bright yellow piece of plastic covering the back. The safety card is stuck on the back of the seat, so you will just have to stare at it for you whole flight. Oh and btw, you will want to bring alone your iPod with you because if you dont, all you are going to hear during the flight is the flight attendent going on the PA selling crap that no one really needs like lottery tickets, cigarette, tickets that you don't need. What is most annoying is how as soon as the plane touch down, they play some triumph music and blah about how they are the most on time airline in europe.
As you can already tell everything about the airline pisses me off, except the price... so I guess I will end up going on it again some other time...
If you want a cheap ticket the site is www.Ryanir.com, have fun dealing with the website and good luck with you flight!
