(Sep 2025) · planespotters.net fleet data via aviospace (Jan 2026) ## When to choose Ryanair Ryanair dominates European short-haul with bases across the continent. Fares can be extremely low on sale routes but rise sharply with add-ons. Punctuality is generally better than legacy carriers on comparable routes. Avoid if you need flexible tickets, included baggage, or a comfortable seat pitch. Compare with easyJet for a slightly more inclusive LCC experience. ## Editorial Ryanair Reviews ## Verified reader reviews Coming soon We are building verified reader reviews for Ryanair.
