Yes, Manchester airport 11th Sep 2015. I'm not saying the plane didn't run, I'm talking about the waiting to get a plane that's not there yet. Three Ryanair flights, passengers waiting at the gate to board for 20 - 40 minutes before the plane even arrives let alone everyone gets off. Sorry, I don't have flight numbers etc if that is what you are looking for :roll:. Funny thing is I don't feel the need to winge when I fly with other airlines , and I'm not even winging about those flights - I wasn't on them. As I said, it was Easyjet that I commented on the customer service of. The reason for not flying Ryanair is the way they treat their staff.
I can back you up from personal experience. Chania to Athens is a regular route I use, normally using Ryanair for that leg.. Its normally a lot cheaper to fly EasyJet UK to Athens, and then get a connecting flight to Chania than flying direct to Chania from the UK due to Athens having 2-3 flights daily at least vs 2-3 flights a week to Chania.
At Chania they have the bus from the gate to plane ready to go before the plane has landed. It drives out to the plane as soon as plane is parked up, and don't open the doors of the bus until the crew are ready. Literally minutes after unloading. I've seen this on several occasions.
