Never been to Europe where Ryanair operates... But they are kinda a notorious airline. Mostly known for trying to nickel and dime their customers as much as humanly possible and treating them more like cattle than humans... So good luck?

I tried flying from Glasgow to Dublin with Ryanair a few years ago on a family vacation. Mysteriously, our luggage had collectively gained 40-odd kilograms since we left home, which meant they were going to be charging us some 600 in extra luggage fees (and presumably the same amount on the return flight). The clerk that was checking us in (who apparently gets a bonus based on the amount of extra luggage fees she charges, which is insanely sketchy) was pretty upset when we were like "lolno" and skipped the flight. The tickets were only 5 each (plus 30 for an extra bag that apparently didn't give us any more allowed weight, just let us split the weight of one of those bags into two bags), so we didn't lose too much there. The logistics and extra hotel rooms needed to change the next leg of the trip around that ended up costing a sizable chunk, but if we were going to have to pay that much either way, I'm glad the money didn't go to those scumbags.
