Isn't the whole point of these airlines that you get a cheap flight, if you travel lightly and are ok with no-frills. That's how I've always treated easyJet and Ryanair, weekend away, everything in a carry on sized backpack, flight for a score, jobs a good'un.

If you want the frills you either pay for a more expensive flight to begin with or buy all the add-ons. It's like buying electronics off a market stall and being annoyed they don't offer the years guarantee that John Lewis do.

Pretty much this. I've just flown with Ryanair and it was super easy and no issues. Just read the instructions and you'll be fine. I think the main bulk of complaints come from older people who are used to the older all in one price style.

Like it's ~£40 a ticket. Pay the extra for hold luggage and your still quids in basically.
