    Unless it's an emergency you won't be let back outside the security after going through.

    It was while we were waiting in line for the security when they came to us and told us we would have to check it.

    Ryanair dont control security of course, and the original Ryanair girl did get it wrong. To be fair, she was - originally - trying to be nice, if misguided.

    When you came back she could/should have let check-in a new item for free, but maybe that is not possible. They seem to make is impossible for the checkin people to do that, they need a receipt for every item.

    Brainwashing people, that's what they are good at. I have friends in Italy that would embark in absurd train journeys to remote airports to catch a Ryanair flight, while they could have flown from their local airport with another airline. More often than not, they don't even check fares for other operators, assume Ryanair is the cheapest and even if that was the case, they end up blowing more money on trains and taxis than the difference between the airfares would have been.

    As for the argument "LCCs bringing down flights cost for everyone",it is an old argument that is debatable at least: prices came down on all high-frequency routes, even those that have no low cost carriers operating them - such as transatlantic routes. The advancement in aircraft technology and efficiency brought the seat-per-mile costs down, even with increased fuel prices, and most airlines figured out that a higher volume of business means better margins. The emergence of LCCs might have sped the process up, but it's not the sole responsible for it.

    Attitude wise, there are loads of low cost carriers right now with none of Ryanair's rudeness.

    They are the cheapest, i checked everything from Venice to the Netherlands, cheapest was Ryanballs to Maastricht at 50 all in one way inc charges and 2 check in bags for 2 people.

    Transavia was 160 with bags for 2 people.

    Klm was 200 yoyos per person

    nobody cares what you believe.
    Look in the mirror.
    bully for you.
    Why thank you !
    their not idiots, their being penalised as part of a money making racket.
    Oh they're idiots alright ! :D
    its their job to keep their cool, wouldn't expect anything less.
    which they do - contrary to your fictional contributions.
    ah it is though, very very hard to tell.
    Actually it's very easy to tell .. It's the same names over and over again :D

    Well it certainly wasn't my fault and I ended up paying the extra 60 euros and got absolutely zero apologies from the Ryanair people at the airport for their mistake and when I contacted Ryanair customer service after I got home.

    Depends on the Airport, I had no hassles in Warsaw airport to go back out through security and have a smoke.

    Is it true in Dublin, and how? I genuinely don't know.
