Blog T2

Well I´ve seen it all now. Planned to bring a guitar back from my next trip to the UK. The airline insisted I book a seat especially for the guitar; It did not allow me an extra ten kilos of hand baggage, just the seat for the guitar..... but now plans have changed, I figured `well, if I´m not bringing back a guitar, there´s a couple of nice bathroom fittings I could get instead´...  No, the ticket is solely for a guitar; no guitar, the seat goes empty; no extra 10 kilos of something else?; I booked in advance like setting my life in concrete. Know any Irish jokes? I know one; RyanAir; my recommendation? If you can find another carrier, DO, as these guys have barely gotten beyond neanderthal in their abilities to accomodate a slight change of plans; I once heard `autistic´ described as `like a train, not easy to change tracks quickly´, and that is how I´d describe RyanAir; Autistic Air; cheap but stupid. Welcome to the 21st Century. If I can choose an airline again, I´ll make sure the Irish are at the bottom of my list. I fly EasyJet usually; WizzAir is another option. I´ve just been stymied by a crap website, a crap level of interactivity, and, damn my prejudice, by a set of Irish rules as thick as two short planks.
I´d like to cc a copy of this to RyanAir, but they don´t offer such a relationship.
Nuff said.
