When it comes to travel, it is no secret that travel is by no means cheap! Despite the hefty costs that some airlines charge travellers, it is still worth every penny to be able to experience a part of the world you've always envisioned visiting.

Although dishing out hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars for airfare might seem impossible, there are a number of no-frill airlines that don't require you to dip into your life savings!

One airline, in particular, that really can save you money is RyanAir. However, you'd also be buying yourself a headache alongside your ticket! While saving money is great, you're sometimes better off skipping out on a deal with RyanAir merely for the sake of avoiding the stress of flying with them!

Let's get right into it! Here are 20 problems with RyanAir that explain the cheap fares.

20 The Airports Are Small & Disorganized

Considering most low-cost airlines within Europe, where RyanAir operates the most, are so cheap, you will find yourself having to check in at a very small and obscure airport! According to Simple Flying, the airports RyanAir operates out of are quite small, compared to your major airports, which can lead to an array of disorganized problems.

19 RyanAir Charges You To Check In At The Counter

While your lovely $35 fare might seem cheap, you have to read the fine lines very carefully if booking with RyanAir! According to The Independent, RyanAir is an online check-in only airline, and actually charges flyers nearly $80 USD to check-in at the airport counter.

18 They Have Crazy Baggage Restrictions

In addition to not being able to check-in without paying a fee, RyanAir also has insanely restrictive baggage rules. According to MyBaggage, if you aren't a priority flyer, you are only allowed one small item that fits in the sizer prior to boarding. If you want to check-in anything else, be ready to pay for it!

17 RyanAir Planes Do Not Have Seat Pockets

If you've ever flown on RyanAir, you'd know that the airline does not have any seat pockets on their aircraft! While seat pockets can come in handy to store some of your personal items during the flight, RyanAir felt it would be best to completely eliminate these so you can struggle with everything on your lap.

16 Non-European Citizens Have To Wait In A Second Line To Get Ticket Stamped

Another great perk that comes along with flying with RyanAir is the number of lines you are required to stand in. Ticket scan line, security line, boarding line, you name it they've got it! Well, according to RyanAir themselves, non-European citizens are required to wait in an additional line for what is known as a "visa check."

15 They Sometimes Enforce Carry On's To Be Checked In

Considering RyanAir operates on smaller sized aircraft, there is definitely not an abundance of space for every passenger and their baggage. With that being said, you might arrive at the boarding gate and be asked to have your bag stowed with other checked baggage due to there being no more space.

14 They Charge Ridiculous 'Admin Fees' For Card Use

While the fare might be cheap, you literally have to pay for just about anything and everything else. Although it's great that RyanAir offers beverages, snacks and other items for purchase on-board, it's important to know that you'll also be paying an "admin fee." According to E Dreams, a 2% fee is added to the total value of the transaction with any debit or credit purchase.

13 RyanAir Does Not Give You Free Water, Not Even A Sip

RyanAir tries its best to get every penny out of you as they can! It's always nice to have a free cup of water, coffee or soda on your flight, however, RyanAir does not give you any of this for free. According to Fox News, the airline can be so stingy with water that passengers on a RyanAir flight were stalled for 6 hours and denied water! Talk about frugal.

12 The RyanAir Yellow Is Painful To Look At

It is important for most travellers to have a relaxing and stress-free flight, however, with RyanAir, you can bet yourself a million bucks that you will have anything but! Considering the plane is decked out in yellow just about everywhere you look, the very distracting and chaotic colour might not make your flight as easy as expected.

11 Do Not Get Sick, Because There Are No Air Sick Bags

Flying can induce motion sickness due to a plethora of reasons, turbulence and constant movements being one of them. While having sick bags on flights is by no means a law, says Aviation, most airlines include it for passenger comfort. Well, when it comes to RyanAir, comfort is definitely not key, as they do not include sick bags on any of their flights.

10 You Stuck Looking At A Safety Card The Whole Flight

Do you know how most airlines include their safety cards in the seat pockets? Well, considering RyanAir does not have any seat pockets, there's no better place for them to post the safety card than directly in front of your face. With that being said, you'll be stuck looking at it for most of your flight, it'd be hard not to!

9 RyanAir Sells Scratch Cards During Your Flight ... Let That Soak In

When you buy a ticket for a RyanAir flight, you are also buying yourself a ticket to a very low-budget casino! According to RyanAir, the airline offers passengers to purchase scratch cards during their flights with chances to win cars, money and other prizes. While it'd be great to win something, the odds are most likely not in your favour.

8 They Are Aggressive When it Comes To Selling

According to Investopedia, RyanAir is quite aggressive in its ways of making as much money as possible. Considering you are paying very little for your ticket, it's no surprise that you will be constantly bugged and bothered for purchases pre, during and post-flight. Get ready to say "no thanks" a lot of times!

7 Airport Locations Are In The Middle Of Nowhere

With small airports come very random locations. Considering low-cost airlines like RyanAir flight in and out of small airports, you'll most likely be stuck heading to an airport very far from the city centre. According to Euro Cheapo, airports are sometimes so far out that the city in which you're landing is quite misleading.

6 Getting To The Airport Is A Hassle On Its Own

With airports literally being hours out of the city centre, you can find yourself having to travel quite a long time to reach the airport in which RyanAir flies in and out of. For instance, London Luton Airport, which RyanAir operates out of, is over an hour away from London itself.

5 RyanAir's Flight Times Are Not On Par With Major Airlines

Ryanair does not offer as many flights per day as other major airlines do, and you might not even be getting told the proper times to begin with! According to the Telegraph, RyanAir has been caught lying about flight times in the past, so much that there have been 77-minute differences in what passengers are told versus the proper time of travel.

4 Their Website Is An Absolute Mess

If flying with RyanAir was not bad enough, booking a flight can be an absolute nightmare. Their website is a hot mess, one that is worth avoiding the airline to begin with. The booking tab is probably the smallest area on the site, which is surrounded by large adverts trying to sell you car rentals, hotels, train tickets, event and attraction tickets.

3 Managing Your Booking Is Nearly Impossible

Trying to manage your booking? Good luck! Getting a hold of customer service is nearly impossible with RyanAir and managing your booking online is just as confusing. According to HoppingFeet, travellers have found it to be an impossible task to accomplish online when it comes to changing their flight or simply trying to check-in online.

2 Enjoy A Lovely 'Hot Meal' On RyanAir Flights

When flying with RyanAir, please do not expect any sort of fine dining. According to the Telegraph, RyanAir was voted as the airline with the worst food! While airport food might be extremely expensive, it's far more worth grabbing a sandwich from the terminal, than buying a meal on your flight.

1 For Your Sanity's Sake, Book Elsewhere

If everything mentioned from their website, small airports, crowded lines, and incessant extra fees aren't enough to keep you from booking with RyanAir, than we don't know what is. For your sanity's sake, it's definitely worth looking into other airlines, even if it means having to pay a little bit more!
