trying to book a flight with Ryanair

Aye, 1 euro flight -
8 euro booking fee
8 euro for taking a bag
8 euro for checking in
8 euro for getting on the plane
8 euro for breathing while on the plane!

Mind you they have a sense of humour, every flight I'm on I seem to have a screaming child sit next to me, I'm beginning to think snowed under works for them. 

The only good thing about them is they stopped that nonsense of allowing parents and children on first although the downside is they can come on after you on the plane and sit down beside you whereas before if they were already seated you could avoid them.

There is the proof that you will never be happy, whichever way you get it, its always going to be a lose-lose for poor POG in his eternal fight against those damn selfish parents  :D

Thank you!

It is ridiculous, could we not get some sort of soundproof compartment for the children?

A crying room like in the chapel?

People who don't know the differences between a chapel and a church ;)

Ill have a quiet word to richard and see what he can do. Once Virgin implement it, it will "take off" so to speak. The idea might even be a flyer. On the other hand it might not get off the ground...

Why don't they just ban children flying altogether or maybe have special planes for them.

I think this was so that kids and parents were together and some ignorant bastard didn't kill them in the rush for the plane, thank God Easyjet still does it.  Do you think that if two parents and two toddlers tried to get through the rush of ignorant gits that seem to be on these flights, only to find 4 seperate seats all over the plane, it would be good for the kids, havent to be seperated and God forbit end up beside you.  Oh that's right you'll turn this round about the parents being selfish, you will make up some crap about not hating kids and that parents who try to sit with their kids on a flight are selfish as well as those try to keep them safe in other situations, Jesus wept.  ::)

Or put them in cages and in with the luggage like cats and dogs. They'd like that.

As long as it was sound proof.

So what age do you think kids should be before they are allowed to enter the same room as yourself, ffs catch a crip.

Sums you up, its good though that you have special parking spaces, as you obviously have major issues judging a space.
