Flight FR1138: Shannon - Bristol

Booked over four months in advance for €76 for a return flight, the flight times were then changed two times after the booking. The original outbound flight was due to depart at 2pm, then it became a 6pm departure, and then finally a 6am departure, which was the best option for me as it allowed me more time in Bath, however the return flights also changed, so I opted to fly out from Birmingham.

The flight was quite only about 2/3 full; this meant I was able to get an emergency exit row, which has excellent seat pitch. The trip over to Bristol was relatively uneventful, the flight was extremely smooth, took off & landed on time, and the onboard service was typical buy on board bar.

The in-flight magazine provided an interesting read and broke the journey quite nicely, along with the tea I purchased from the bar service, which is always on the steep side.

Overall Ryanair have a great product for short hops at a reasonable fare price, and the exit rows have a great seat pitch.
