  1. I voted give them a year because we are booked with them for October from Manchester 🙂

  2. Ryanair tried to charge a friend of ours £1 to use the toilet. When she refused and threatened to wet the seat the cabin crew backed down. I’d rather not go anywhere if Ryanair was the only airline.

  3. Hugely interesting question about Ryanair’s sticking power. They are a low budget airline flying into a higher budget destination that lacks the appeal of lower budget places e.g. Tenerife with nightlife, cheap ‘British’ style bars and low-end hotels & restaurants. If Madeira adapts to this new market Ryanair will continue to fly in. If they don’t then the travellers of that demographic will not keep coming. It’s largely up to Madeira to decide what it wants to be as a tourist destination. I have my own preference ???

  4. If Ryanair was the only option I’d never return to Madeira. Monopolies don’t work. Ask Prestwick Airport.

  5. Ryanair would only be my choice if I was very desperate They treat people like cattle, the seats are very uncomfortable and the end price is not that much different to other airlines at times! If you are on a 1 or 2 hour flight maybe you might be prepared to put up with them but three and a half to 4 hours noway.! It would spoil you holiday before you start. If some people are OK with all of this good luck to them.

  6. I suppose one positive is that this might bring a greater concentration of younger tourists, something Madeira has an errrr reputation of not cultivating so well? There aren’t boozy beach bars, never gonna be, so I doubt it goes too chavy. No nightclubs so it won’t compete with Ibiza. Intrepid nature-fuelled backpackers?

    1. No nightclubs?
      Have the ones across the road from CR7 closed down then?
      What about the one just along the road from Prince Albert pub? Is that gone?

  7. Matt, Plenty of bars clubs restaurants cafes nature and hiking something for everyone in Madeira don’t knock it ! Ryanair will do well bringing in much need tourism of all ages.

  9. How long will RyanAir stay in Madeira ? The answer as long as it is profitable, just like the rest of the airlines at present flying in.
    As to the £1 permission to pee, I despair of anyone believing that.

  10. I hate Ryanair with a passion. If they become the main airline I will not be returning to Madeira which is an island I love.

  11. I love Ryanair and am able to go on holiday much more because of their cheap fares. I was on the flight yesterday from Stansted to Funchal which was on time and landed early for a fare of £9.99 plus £22.99 for a large case – I can’t complain.

  12. I have never travelled with Ryanair but some of my colleagues do and cannot understand the negativity. My sister inlaw also has no problem and travels about 5 times a year with them.
