Ryanair Ends Prime Membership, Claims Customers Saved Too Much Money

I'm grateful Ryanair shook things up in Europe 20 years.
But now they are just trying everything they can to screw their customers.
They are struggling against newcomers like Volotea and Vueling.
I'm pretty sure Ryanair will disappear in a few years

I’m guessing it’s both reasons you note.

They ended up simplistically net negative (fees-benefits, without accounting for increased revenue) and had hoped they could sign up more people who’d have used it less than the 55,000 grinders that they got.

Are you just really bad at comedy, or really bad at researching basic stats?

Why would the largest (by passenger count) and most profitable airline in Europe, disappear?

And how exactly has Ryanair been "struggling" against a carrier like Vueling, with lower (relative) margins and decreased performance y.o.y than it (Ryanair) has delivered?

Ryanair should sell gym membership.

Whatever does the real or fake Eskimo know about the commercial aviation industry?
That login has no name, it lost its name completely lately by posting dubious information which was easily gashed.

Ryanair who? I would rather take FlixBus instead. Or the train.

Ryanair's average profit on a ticket is -4.2%. They rely on anciliary purchases to be profitable and certainly can not have anything like this.

Good luck. I heard the train from Glasgow to Malaga is great.
Jokes aside - if your expectations are set right, Ryanair is just fine. Not superb by any stretch if the imagination, but does the job. I flew them a number of times this year, mostly because they were the only airline having direct flights to my destination, and the experience has been smooth and pleasant.

"Excessively transparent"? Ryanair are well known to be excessively cost cutting, unbundling fares too the extreme and introducing unexpected (not "hidden", as they are always very explicit about those) charges to things that you and I might take for granted. (If they could charge you to breathe on their plane, they would.) That's literally their business model and they are proud of it, and it seems to work for them. I'd actually saying their explaining the rationale for cancelling the Prime scheme - that customers are saving too much money and therefore Ryanair are losing money - is very on message.

I joined this. It’s a waste of money. The seats you get offered for free are rubbish so I often pay extra for other ones. Their “prime”sales seem deceitful , with fares even more than normal…
