Ryanair is basic transportation. Period. and you get what you pay for,
which, in the case of Ryanair, doesn't include amenities in the event of,
among other things, weather delays. If you want some of the basics, like
seats that recline, windows with shades, complimentary soft drinks, more
than 15kg of luggage., spring for the majors which aren't that much more in
the end.
