Tasteful Ryanair Advert

[Swedish Paul]

Has anyone seen it?

“The Covid vaccine has arrived to book your summer holiday now with Ryanair”

 

[Harry]

Dreadful! I’ve always made a point of avoiding using them and that’s a good reason not to change.

I saw the Onthebeach.com advert earlier with Iggy Pop.

I felt they got the balance about right... albeit I still won't be rushing out to book a holiday any time soon.

Avoid Ryanair at all cost if possible.
Alas, cheap flights appear to be over.
The easyjet changes with carry on baggage now make it almost compulsory to add a bag into the hold, doubling the cost of a typical flight.
We have some flights booked with Easyjet for half term to Geneva skiing. Unlikely to happen, but to change them to 2022 (out already), would cost us 5 times more, no longer viable.
We have also just had some flights cancelled by them in March 2021, which where originally for March this year. We have actually booked better flights with BA, cheaper than the original Easyjet cost, although not hopeful it will happen.

I’m pleased to see this in the news today.
“Ryanair has been told to remove "irresponsible" adverts depicting misleading claims about coronavirus vaccinations.
The Advertising Standards Authority said it got 2,370 complaints - the third highest ever received for an advert.”

Ryanair rapped over 'misleading' Covid adverts

The Advertising Standards Authority got 2,370 complaints - the third most of any advert.

[Harry]

I wonder what the 2 most complained about adverts were? Was one the Wonderbra advert?

 

[CatmanV2]

Can't find any that even get close!

That’s 2370 people who’ve got too much time on their hands.

Off to play on the internet...

Not sure why people get upset by ryanair, you buy a ticket, you get to where you what, generally on time and what's wrong with that. So the CEO is a c0ck, the on time fanfare is annoying, no I don't want a lottery ticket and the decor is eugh. But it works...

Beat me to it. You get what you pay for. I have flown all over Europe with them over the years and never had an issue at all.

A Bentley will get you from Chester to London..........So will a Punto!.............But your bum might be a little numb!!

As a consequence of paying all that money to feed that W8? Are you suggesting that the Punto is the better steed? It seems @CatmanV2 is going to be going in a very different direction with his next car purchase.

I've flown Ryan Air! (And Easy Jet) Horses for courses isn't it? If I had options, I'd not do it again, but there's nothing to complain about if you make the choice to shave your price to the bone.

Specifically though, people were complaining about the advert that suggested they should get a jab and go on hols in July. There's not really much to link them

Ryanair .. like catching the 22 bus except it flies.. you get what you pay for, same with Easyjet etc. I have used Ryanair a few times in the past when going to Ireland for work meeting day trips and it is fine for that but happy with other carriers for my own $$ on my own choice. Would never choose Ryanair unless it was in fact literally the only choice..

 

[Gazcw]

I made the mistake once of not booking seats and allowing them to select them on the basis that they would not split up a parent and young child. Wrong! My daughter who was under 5 at the time was near the front and I was at the rear. When I rang customer services they just said well you should have paid the fee! So I got on sat in daughter's seat and she sat on my lap until they sorted it. Which they did. Not the air crews fault at all, but I could not get over the customer service. So I made my choice. The ..nt will never have any of my money again no matter the cost.

I think the 'Moggy' would get there a tad before me and would be less needy of a Buttock rub!!

 

[Vampyrebat]

And I know which one your thinking of!!

 

[Navcorr]

Was one the Wonderbra advert?

Which one?

 

[Oneball]

Took me a while!
