I flew Ryanair a few weeks ago,not as bad as I was expecting the world is changing,rapidly,its shrinking at a phenomenal rate,long gone are the days when sailing off to Australia meant you would never see family again ever,i know a guy who is coming back to the UK this year from Australia for the first time in 30 years,none of his family have seen him in all that time,though to be fair none of them are travellers and his mums in bad health.
