When I was in LPA last month on a short trip (just to try IB A340) I was waiting in lounge for my return flight to MAD and spotted this..............
Ryanair ordered 747s for the service? All economy layout of about 600 seats perhaps?

Oh NO! That would be hell. I can barely stand being on an FR B737 never mind a B747. Oh, but maybe a Ryanair first class with a PTV and decent service, anyone else think so
Quoting Stitch (Reply 1): Codeshare with another carrier? Short-term lease? Practical joke?
I think it might just be a picture put up by the airline as I have seen that somewhere before (can't remember where or what airline) but Ryanair usually do use a picture of a 737 on their adverts so there might be a Ryanair 747,

God knows if the concept of standing PAX that was dreamed up but canceled by airbus ever went into effect they we'd see a A380-900 for ryanair with 1000 PAX all paying 10 bucks for a flight and 20 bucks for pop.

Well that doesn't make sense anyhow, as they haven't even announced a LPA service?? I personally can't see FR filling 747's to Fuerteventura, and probably not Los Rodeos either? and Im sure he'd use a 747 as an opportunity to start transatlantic flights?

Ryanair has as much chance of using 747s as easyJet. 107 have now been ordered.
Ryanair. They make Southwest feel like first class.
I'd imagine the way ryanair packs people into jets, they could get like, 650+ easy into a 744. I'd love to see it.... probably not fly on it though. Can you imagine deplaning? Baggage claim?
Too bad MoL hates airbus, we could see like 900 people on the Ryanair A380 ..... whenever Toulouse gets the kinks worked out.

FR's legroom is better than most UK charter airlines' and better than U2's legroom on its 737s. Naturally, they aren't mentioned. Moreover, I am just over 6' and have no problem whatever; indeed, I am confortable.
Why stop at that? You have a nice cargo hold and you can always make use of that above-ceiling space, oh, and don't forget the aisles! It will be like Operation Solomon!

If EK can squeeze in 3-4-3 in a 777, I'm sure MOL wouldn't have a problem with 9 (or 12) abreast in a 330....

I don't think the A380 is FR-airport "material"... I'd like to see an A380 maneuver around at MON... (Middle Of Nowhere)

I must admit this was a fun thread to read. Perhaps MOL may want to consider a new motto for FR "Ryanair -- the airline everyone loves to hate!"
Don't let them get you down Pearson, I like the way you defend FR.

Not at all. I am used to arguing in my career (law).
I find it very funny how a lot of self-confessed aviation fans completely disregard the truth in favour of nonsense when discussing FR. The truth is, they prefer the old times when you had to pay a lot for the priviledge of flying. Sadly, they can't accept that times have changed - in responce to both consumer demand and the fact that airlines have to be profitable (unlike when they were owned, run and financed by governments). Hence, they'll always moan about things which the vast majority of normal customers view as being perfectly fine - as evidenced by statistics from independent reports.
People are shocked that an airline which transformed European aviation is so successful. It is, I believe, a lot about jealousy.

I can vouch for that. A friend is 22 stone and about 6.4 feet. He regularly flies FR and says that he can comfortably sit in FR (and not the emergency exit rows) whereas on the majority of other airlines his knees are normally pressing against the seat in front.

Simple explanation. They love to mock FR because they are jealous of its success.

Gentlemen
This is Spain, where paying for a professional graphic designer or photo copyrights are a thing of science fiction. Someone just nicked a bad computer rendering of a 747 and texture mapped the harp on it.
Having said that, this is a fun thread.

Quoting Poitin (Reply 18): Perhaps MOL may want to consider a new motto for FR "Ryanair -- the airline everyone loves to hate!"
Nah, then they'd actually have to have a motto that's accurate!
The two at the moment that I see are:
"Ryanair - The Low Fares Airline" - This is crap. I can fly Dublin-BHX or DUB-MAN cheaper on Aer Lingus than I can on Ryanair. In fact, last time I flew direct to Manchester with Ryanair, it was so expensive that I would have saved money if I had booked a return flight to BHX on Aer Lingus AND a first class train ticket from BHX to Manchester on Virgin Trains!
"Ryanair - The On-Time Airline" - Every time I've flown Ryanair they've been late. Enough said.
Quoting BCAL (Reply 23): They love to mock FR because they are jealous of its success
I don't mock/bash Ryanair because I'm jealous of their success. I mock/hate Ryanair because everytime I have flown with them the flight is late and the service is rubbish, and don't give me that "you get a cheap fare so you don't deserve service" line, because as I've said above, Ryanair are in many cases for me more expensive than Aer Lingus. The only times I use FR now are if my schedule won't allow me to fly EI, or it is one of the rare occasions where FR actually are significantly cheaper than EI.
