Ryanair

An Ordeal

I have travelled with Ryanair frequently and should therefore be aware of their service (or lack of service) I know that my experience will be a cross between a cattle market and a rugby scrum but I prepare myself for this. The heaving of my hand luggage into an already overflowing overhead locker, the pushing of other passengers in their attempts to do the same, are all well known features of this airline. However, my last flight with Ryanair on the 18/02/2013 was even more unpleasant than usual as I unfortunately fell ill during the short flight from Stansted to Dinard. I had put my handbag in my hand luggage (as requested when boarding) so I had no money with which to purchase a bottle of water. I had the temerity to ask for a glass of tap water and after some bemusement by the young steward, was promised that he would return with the water requested. Needless to say I waited in vain. I am only grateful that I only felt nauseous and was not experiencing something more serious. I am 68 years of age and quite possibly could have been. They only seem to care about selling their scratch cards!
