I'm not playing anymore. You don't know my reasons and I'm bored now :mrgreen:

You ought to try 4 hours of ski lessons a day......

This is especially good for the return journey as you can book for 3.00 am but can turn up at 11.00 pm and still get on the next ferry. No pressure to get there.
I also quite enjoy the boat as i can relax for a bit after or before the worst part of the drive which is the English side to and from Dover. :)

We'd agreed that, in future, they would have a private lesson on each holiday, I think they'll benefit more from that and it'll make the family holidays more relaxed.

He does realise that he'll have to have lessons on the school trip and he's got another friend who's of similar ability so he's happy. Saying that, he's got two more ski holidays before that one so he'll probably be even better by then!

If my son had complained about being bored on a school ski trip, his name would have been taken off the roster and he would be having 1 less holiday that year.

Ryanair have clear policies. Its all written down on their website. As for attitudes, they are not in business to win friends. I imagine that the number of people like yourself and Wickers who have a chip on their shoulder about using Ryanair and choose to boycott them is something like 0.something of a % of the number of passengers that fly with them each year so I dont think they'll be too bothered about a couple of people on a ski forum trying to start a small boycott.
I am sure those of you who choose not to use them have what you regard as your own good reason, but like I said, if you adhere to their rules and requirements you should not have a problem.

I am not sure what the exact policy is regarding disabled passengers, but the 1 person on my flight back from Girona on Monday night was invited to board the aircraft first despite not having paid for priority boarding.
