Six years of roasting the people who pay us2019 → 2026

It started when the planes stopped.

Ryanair used to tweet like every other airline: gate changes, apologies, refund forms. Then COVID grounded the fleet, there was nothing left to sell, and in 2021 the account was handed to a 20-something with two rules: no jokes about safety, don't laugh at the Queen. Everything else was fair game. Here are the receipts.

2019–2020 · the before. A normal, corporate, slightly boring airline account, grounded by COVID and fighting a €1.2bn refund backlog. Planes it couldn't fly, customers it couldn't please. So it stopped trying to please them.

2021They hired a 20-something, killed the corporate voice, and started roasting their own customers.

A customer asked about Ryanair’s endless surprise fees.

If we told you, it wouldn't be a surprise.

A note from the human who built this

I've never had a good Ryanair flight. Nobody has. But somewhere around the fifth "read that again, but slowly," I realised I didn't want an apology from them. I wanted to be roasted by them.

So I read five years of their replies until I could hear the voice, and built the thing I actually wanted. No affiliation, no app, no €75 bag fee. Just you, a complaint, and a boarding pass to nowhere.
