Consider this. Airlines know that they can save more time, get more flights in and make more profit by reducing the turnaround time on the ground and reducing down time for maintainace. A plane in the air is making money, a plane on the ground is losing money. It is the little things that Ryanair does that amaze me.
- Ryanair planes have saftey information stickered to the back of the seat infront of you => because they have no seat pockets => because with no seat pockets it takes less time to clean and prep the plane for the next flight
- Seats on their planes do not recline => because moving parts of seat mechanisms breakdown and need to be repaired => by not moving, the seats don't need maintainance
- Ryanair policy is very strict about the weight and size of carryon baggage => this means that there is enough room in the overhead bins for everyone's luggage => which means that they can load everyone very quickly without fights over having to check bags that don't fit.
Very impressive... but still very miserable. (Although, these also contribute to Ryanair having the highest on time arrival rating of any European airline, which is nice)
