Ryanair passengers ‘will not know if 737 Max is due to operate flight’
Ryanair’s aircraft allocation procedures mean passengers will not be told during the booking process whether or not their flights are due to be operated by Boeing 737 Max jets, according to group chief executive Michael O’Leary. (www.flightglobal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I cannot understand why anyone would fly with Ryanair - ever
Air lingua so
the complications o'leary puts his paying customers through would bankrupt him in nearly every other line of enterprise. Ryanair Restaurants?. bars? real estate companies? Hotels? Housing deveopments? Aviation seems to be the only circus this clown can get away with what he gets away with. Bargain-craving consumers are his lifeblood, especially those with short memories
I've boycotted mr o'Leary's circus since they made passports compulsory for domestic flights
Carriers inform you when booking which aircraft type you'll fly on but usually not which precise one. E.g, on Easyjet you don't know if you're going on an A320 or A320neo or on a 787 whether it's yet had replacement engines fitted. I use Ryanair. I don't like their practices but often they're the best or only option for my needs. I don't yet know how I'll feel about the Max but I'll review the material when it re-enters service
I've just done a dummy booking with EasyJet, I couldn't see anything telling me what plane would be used. I thought it might be on the seat plan page, but apparently not.
Possibly with EZY it's bc they only use A319s and A320s so maybe not a good example but I think the point stands. E.g. BA tells you it's a B777 for example, not if it's a B772 or B77W which to my mind are significantly different. But re Ryanair I don't find the lack of variant info surprising altho I'd prefer to have it.
IF you don't know the aircraft type from the airline website, www.seatguru.com does. But some airlines will change the scheduled plane due to demand, maintenance etc.
