It’s finally happened! After many years of waiting I finally took the plunge and lost my Ryanair virginity!
My first ever Ryanair flight was between Venice and Fes. Which demonstrates perfectly the value and advantage of low cost carriers such as Ryanair and their ability to link secondary cities.
This Ryanair flight review – entitled Losing my Ryanair Virginity – covers the entire process from booking to checkin to boarding, the inflight experience and landing in Fes.
As this was my first Ryanair experience I ticked all the boxes and took all the optional extras. This gave me a flexible ticket, in person check-in, extra luggage and priority boarding and seating. I even pre-ordered my inflight meal!
So join me as I experience the very best that Ryanair has to offer on this Ryanair Flight Review.
Flight Date: 24 May 2022
Flight Number: FR5371
Flight Route: Venice Treviso, Italy to Fes, Morocco (TSF-FEZ)

Dennis Bunnik- the first person to receive dine on demand onboard a Ryanair flight.
Seriously though, you were much more patient with that supervisor than he deserved. Surely if you’ve deigned yourself ruler of all pre booked in flight meals, you’d check the manifest at least once. What a tool
It's so good to see Dennis back.
But €135, for Ryanair, OMG you must have bought the plane.
Try Lao Skyway. Flights from $15 dollars
This is classic Bunnik…really enjoyed this one… but its not the same without the pre takeoff glass of bubbly !
I'm up to 84 flights now with Ryanair, and continue to be pleased each time I fly with them. Once you understand the system and know how it works, it really makes each trip enjoyable.
Also to add, in 84 flights with them since 2015 I have yet to have 1 single flight delayed by 3+ hours (which would enable me to EU261 compensation).
Worst delay I have ever had was 2h 57 min from Port to Lisbon.
I thought "Ultimate Ryanair experience" would have been not to tick any of the boxes and getting the middle seat from the "totally random seat lottery"
😂 😂😂
Ryanair are great – as long as you know exactly what you're doing, can fit in precisely with their policies, and can follow their rules. If you can do that, you'll get a perfectly acceptable flight to wherever you're going. But step outside those constraints even one little bit, and your day will get very bad!
Looks joyless. Like taking the subway from A to B. And your fare wasn’t cheap at all …
Ryan Air is a decent airline if you don't add any extras and abide by their cabin luggage rules.
Food is dreadful and staff strict but it's cheap and cheerful and they set the price bench-mark for low cost travel.
Ryanair – Still "no thanks".
The european legacy carriers aren‘t better in the no frills class on their intra european routes, including north africa.
@Dennis The CCR called. They'd like your card back. Consideration will be given upon video evidence of through delousing. 🤣
As much as I give crap to AirAsia, they do low cost regional much better. No attitude when it comes to meals and even though seats may be similar, the service is far better. They even do proper hot meals on 2hr flights.
Ryanair is crap
I am flying them in September to Helsinki from Uk 🇬🇧
"Turns out Ryanair don't have a lounge at Treviso" – best comedy…. ever!
Ryanair catering, well in fairness 12 Euros for a beef or vegan lasagne or a green curry + wine or beer + a snack, is far less than you'd pay on the ground. I like that their vegan range is PETA endorsed and Lavazza onboard is good. Almost no one pre-orders food, so crew do forget, but I've only ever had to show my boarding pass to crew carrying out the BOB trolley and it's never been an issue. Generally now-a-days I find their cabin crew work hard and are professional enough.
Don't bother with the extras, although Fast Track is useful at this time of security staff shortages. Check in online as their app is quite easy and they have an excellent system for COVID documentation. Priority boarding just means you queue longer (stay seated at the gate until you can see people actually boarding).
Some time ago, just before covid, I flew with Ryanair and attempted to buy a nice inflight coffee. It took about an hour for the crew to work out how much it cost and how I was going to pay for it, after receipt. The shenanigans over this quite spoilt my enjoyment of the excellent coffee. I promised myself never to use Ryanair inflight catering again. This aside, I don't mind flying with Ryanair, not bad, if you can put up with their foibles!
Isn't the ultimate Ryanair experience to NOT tick the boxes?
Think you had a typical ryan air flight , I would try whizz next ?..
you should fly pakistan international airlines like other youtubers
Not too bad. I always was kinda satisfied, I mean it’s not the greatest experience, but still ok 👌🏽 to get from a to b!
I've flown Ryanair many times between Venice Treviso to see my sister in Bremen after spending a few days in Venice (which is always beautiful). Was so nice and convenient to be able to fly direct point to point like that, and remarkable that such a service is available and at such a low cost.
One time on Ryanair we had a pilot who had a very heavy accent that made him sound a lot like Borat. He made all the ladies giggle every time he made an announcement on the intercom. Just after we had passed through some turbulence so he said "Ladies and gentlemen now it is safe to make your seatbelt open".
But in any case the world always seems nicer after you have spent a few relaxing days in Venice.
Hahaha. I also recently lost my RyanAir virginity when my flight to Vienna from Cologne was booked by someone else. You handled it well. Not sure I could do more than an hour, but it certainly wasn't as terrible as I had imagined. On my flight the passenger in front of me ordered a full hot meal, including lasagne…. which finally arrived just as the Fasten Seatbelts and prepare to Land announcement came on…. lovely review Dennis!
This is how all flight will be soon its like City Bus.
Always wanted to go to Morocco, really want to travel their TGV
I never had any bad experience
From one Adelaide boy to another, you got guts. I've heard so many horror stoiries about Ryanair. Have you flown Spirit Dennis? Apparently the most hated airline over here in the US.
You don’t have to be a RUDE staff member if you work with LCC. Being polite doesn’t cost anything.
Never buy food on Ryanair. Always take it with you.
Ryanair are generally rude, but it is cheap and gets you from a to b. If you don’t buy anything and take some antibacterial wipes with you they are usually ok.
Your the one that makes all the other fares cheap by clicking on all the options lol, click nothing, then it’s the true Ryan air experience
Somebody told Mr Ryan that it costs nothing to be courteous….that got him thinking and he added a box to the booking screen which you seem to have forgotten to check in all your excitement 😁
Hilarious … I will not be breaking my Ryanair virginity it sounded like everything i have been trying to avoid, haha . Thanks for a great insight.
I flew both Ryanair and Easy Jet when I went to Europe, and Easy Jet was the winner for me. I would fly Ryanair again however, I mean you can't complain with 28 euro airfares. I know Australia is a much bigger place than Europe, but our low cost carriers aren't even that low cost when compared to the European ones.
"Quite an achievement in this era". How can another Scotch lover say that just as I was sipping a 21 year old Glenfiddich? LMMFAO!!!!!
Thanks, for the review , great to see you back.
Be thankful you're not traveling on a South African passport, Ryan air will expect you to answer 15 questions in Afrikaans, which in south Africa is unconstitutional.
That must have sent you never the edge.
Due to very often delays and cancellations, I was rather paying more on regular carriers. Now after I see how top paying customer has a treatment, I know I will awoid Ryanair even harder.
A dry turkey roll, and they call that a meal ?
Good and Cheap won't be Fast
Faat and Good won't be Cheap
Cheap and Fast won't be Good
Q. Which services model does Ryanair provide?
You did well to maintain your happy demeanour. Think I’ll stick to SQ, Qatar and Qantas whenever possible 😂
Evidently Virginity can be a good thing. How rude can a crew be?
Havent taken ryan air but did take Easyjet from paris to venice and was very happy with the flight for the cheap price.
Try Saudia, Kuwait Airways and Gulf Air
