44 Stages Of A Ryanair Flight That Everyone Will Recognise

No one expects a great experience when they pay €9 for a flight but most of us can admit catching a Ryanair flight is a tedious experience. You can expect to put aside half a day to get to the airport, through customs and out to the gate - so here's 44 stages of a Ryanair flight that everyone will recognise. We feel your pain:

1. Cool I'm just going to print off these boarding passes now but yay my printer's fucked.

2. No I don't want your bloody extras. Yes I'm sure. Ah shit I clicked one of them.

3. I wonder if I can bring 30kg of carry-on with me? I'll just wear 5 layers instead.

4. Okay on my way to the airport. There is literally nowhere to put my bag on this bus except next to this baby.

5. What time do I even need to be at the airport? HELP ME RYANAIR.

6. Alright it's an hour til my flight - plenty of time.

7. Jesus Christ is everyone in Dublin at the airport? Is Justin Bieber flying in or something?

8. Gotta go through bag check... this shouldn't take lo - oh fuck everyone is catching the same flight.

9. Why did everyone conveniently forget to separate their liquids? I forgot but that's understandable. I'm v. busy. These other people though, FFS.

10. Yes, give me ONE SECOND. ONE FUCKING SECOND, Mr Airport Security Man. I am putting this away and no there's no aerosols in here. Yes I'm sure.
