Recently, I went with my sister and bro-in-law to Arnhem, to visit the grave of my uncle, who died there in the airborne ladnings in 1944. Arriving at Stansted, we got to the gate and I was confrinted by a young lady, who asked me to put my miniscule "case" into a frame, then decided it was "too tall" to go into the cabin, advising me that I would be charged £45.99p to put it into the hold. It happened to my sister as well. When we got on the plane (none of us wanted to miss this pre-arranged trip), only two of ALL the overhead lockers, along the length of the cabin, had any luggage at all in them. The case I took has been on many flights with me, both short and long-haul and often, I have flown Ryanair. I never came across this before. I knew Ryanair were sly, but this took the biscuit, especially as the overhead lockers were all bloody empty! We plan to go back for the annual Arnhem memorial service in September - I won't be taking a bag. They can stuff their £45.99p charge! Shysters.

well done LEE with the lady and shocking they didn't just give her a cup of tea 🤬

Cash is King,Just wait until the Government get there way.We will be sorry.

Coffee, tea, water should be free on all flights. I mean for goodness sakes how much does a bag of tea and some hot water cost? Shame on these airlines.

Not the case. The food&drink is not from the airline themselves. If we did not pay for these items then the suppliers would go out of business then you would simply get nothing. Even has crew we would get a small cut from everything sold onboard.

Never mind beverages, O'Leary tried to charge a pound to have a wee-wee several years ago. He said that people should go before getting on the plane. He gave up on it when people started using empty plastic bottles and jam jars which they had brought with them for the purpose.

@@TheCarlanthony Sorry but that is BS. Food and drink are free on most international flights. The airlines could pick up the cost at least for coffee, tea and water. Just like they pay for paper towels and toilette paper.

As I said when you first went back to Tenerife, didn't have a lot of interest in these videos, as never been to Tenerife, but I do enjoy your travel and flight videos like this one. It has me excited for my first solo trip away to Ibiza at the end of September. Looking forward to the upcoming New York and USA trips and videos, and am now starting to plan to go back to New York next year, either spring or summer, with my son. Will defintiely try and visit Hoboken this time, and Bleecker Street Pizza is calling again! Onwards, my freind. 🕶

I feel I’ve been hoodwinked. Sat through the whole video. Only to find Ryanair doesn’t take cash . Like most airlines now. I thought it was going to be about something serious. Like flight cancelled for a day . Or someone kicking off . Or a medical emergency. No, far from it. Some old dear couldn’t get a cup of tea , but did . And it wasn’t Yorkshire tea. But the screen shot gets you sucked in big time like a major issue . Classic salesmanship at its best . Bravo.

Shame on Ryan air . Well done Lee for buying lady a brew 👏 👍

Indeed.. problem is elderly people may struggle to obtain a credit cards and won't be familiar with using debit cards. There is a real gap here which the likes of Age Uk and the Government should address to help elderly folk and make them feel more comfortable in an ever changing modern society.

Good on you buying a cup of tea to the lady next to you. Small gestures can make someone's day. It also just shows that some big organisations have lost what the concept of customer service really means. 😊

I agree, and its a shame they refuse cash. I in the last year now have tried to use more cash as its far easier to save that way rather than tapping everywhere! I was on Ryanair recently and they refused cash for 4 orders of drinks and food so I just said we wont have it then out of principle, only had an hour wait until landing. But its more the principle of taking that choice away from people like you have mentioned.

Another brilliant trip Lee as always thanks for taking us all with you🤩 brilliant reviews people and sights and adventures looking forward to the next ones!!😎😎

Hey mate - looks like a good trip was had. All the taxi tariffs on canaries are shooting up by a few eeuros. Theyre in the middle of changing all the meters at the minute - re-calibrating etc. So, if youre lucky, you’ll still get a cab with the old rates but as time goes in, these will be fewer & far between, until at some point soon, they’ll all be charging new higher rate 👍👍

Good video once again Lee! Michael O’Leary’s running the show there at Ryanair. As we say here in the U.S., “he’s nickel & dime’ ing ‘em”. Didn’t he want to charge for the use of the lav? Since your seatmate didn’t have a charge card, you did a nice act of charity by treating her to a tea (although it was not a Yorkshire tea). But seriously I think Ryanair should have some vouchers to purchase prior to flight for covering any on-board purchases just for those not having charge cards. She probably had a third party do all her arrangements maybe a travel agent. Ryanair should advertise these travel options. Anyhoo, your usual travelogues are much appreciated!!! Onward! ✈️

Hope you return to tenerife again soon absolutely love the vlogs thanks lee 👍🏻☀️😎

Well done Lee, for buying the lady a cup of tea. I take Wizz Air when I fly to the UK from Romania and they offer a 5% discount if you use a card: it saves them having to scrabble for change. But they also accept lei, GBP and euros. Glad you enjoyed Tenerife as did I vicariously. I stayed at the Alexandre Hotel Gala on my visit. Thoroughly recommended.

Lee, I've enjoyed this latest Tenerife series of videos. I find the bittersweet feeling of leaving to go home quite tough these days. Always nice to get home, but hard to leave the artificially nice lifestyle we have on holiday. A glimpse of how nice life could be without the financial constraints most of us have. Cheers me duck - when will you be doing Route 66 ?

I enjoyed the video and glad you're back. I've never flown with Ryan Air, and wouldn't do now if I were going anywhere, the seats look really cramped together and the no cash thing sucks and I'd rather pay with cash too. I don't have a credit card, never have and neither has my partner, don't want one, all we have are debit cards and cash and that's how we like it, we don't have contactless on our cards either, don't want it. If somewhere doesn't take cash, we will avoid and I'd avoid Ryan Air and others should too. It was good of you to help the lady on the plane. Another suggestion for a trip in future which I think would be interesting would be for you to go to Gibraltar ... hope you'll consider it.

Love your Tenerife vlogs and hope it isn't to long before you go back again. The quads is on my "to do list" next time I'm over. Downside I'm flying Ryanair to Alicante in July from East Midlands. 🤦

Always sad for me leaving all that beautiful atmosphere and coming home to UK 🥺 Great video Lee as always ❤💎xx

I never do the queue. I was queued once. Terrible experience. Beautiful plane-view photography. The lady was blessed to sit with you. I am blessed, too.

@The MacMaster great video. Remember when an airline stood for service and a smile?! Long gone.

Great video Lee, I remember as a kid on a plane you could spend your euros on the way back to the uk. But since Covid it’s all changed, it’s just card payments only !

I had some dodgy taxi fares when there last week, they pressed a button and added a couple of euros on and them some drivers didn't, 8 euros from Mercadona to paloma beach when the meter said 6 til she pressed, "The Magic Button"

Poor lady how can you expect an old lady to go all that time without a drink

Enjoyed the photography and lovely of you to buy the elderly lady a Cuppa even if it wasn't Yorkshire. 🤗

Great flight vlog as ever, top man for helping someone out with a cup of tea. Come on Ryanair, it’s a tea bag & hot water. Next short flight, try Leeds Bradford for a change. Why???? Because it’s in Yorkshire & it’s the best 😉😁

O'Leary can't keep track of the volume of coffee in the flask and a member of staff might put the money for ONE plastic beaker of coffee in her pocket. OH DEAR. I don't think that O'Leary trusts his staff to handle cash. He is after every penny that he can grasp.

Love these videos, especially the views of the UK near the end. At 31:24 Selsey Bill, which is also mentioned in the Madness Hit, I am driving in my car. Also 31:27 can see my house. Wish I knew in advance as would then take a picture of you flying by with my zoom camera :) Take care

You know it wasn't that long ago that tea and coffee were complementary on airlines ,the actual cost of a cup of tea is pennies ,I'm sure that a cup of tea isn't going to bankrupt anybody I know we're in a cashless society but still shame on you Ryan air cheers,

I noticed few weeks ago in East Mids Airport a place only took cards and duty free also its bloody crazy. Their loss ate elsewhere and it was cheaper on the plane for duty free

Great vlog as always..but yes it's a total nightmare everything being online these days has my mom is in her 80s and if you phone most places these days you have to start pressing numbers to speak to who ever you need to speak to what's happened to people to talk to because the is enough people in the world and it's the same when you go to a supermarket and use the self check out and you have got more members of staff there if someone has a problem than the is on the tills..so yes I can understand when the older generation say the good old days..plus the reason the taxi was cheaper going to the airport because the hotel probably set it up to get rid of you after you slated their breakfasts 😊

I think we have a duty to take care of the elderly and kids. Shirley might need to take medication, she might not have had anything to drink for a few hours. Discretion should have been used in this circumstance. Good man Lee for getting Shirley a cuppa. Shame on Ryanair staff.... That could be your mother or granny. How would you feel. 👓

Always booked a private transfer to and from the airport. I fancy trying a taxi next time.....Any problems encountered Lee? Good on ya for buying that lady's tea

What is really concerng is the fact that ordinary people [staff] are willing to allow a person to go without a drink. Would they allow it with their own parents? Same in other businesses. Society is in one big mess when staff and management behave in this [uncivilized] way.

Easyjet too are the same, they don,t take cash neither , they did before covid and haven,t reverted back. it is not acceptable, they should give you the choice.

What is unacceptable is to have your passengers standing in a queue, on the tarmac in the full sun when the cabin crew are not ready to board the aircraft. Just as disgraceful with the Easyjet parked next door. Whatever happened to decency in the airlines.

Another totally O.T.T. reaction from the MacMaster. I find it hard to believe that anyone in UK does not have a CARD of some description. How does a person access wages and PENSIONS , as these ,to the best of my knowledge, are no longer payed in cash. The only other way to withdraw cash is by cheque. I would appreciate it if someone would correct me, if I am wrong.

Was on a jet 2 flight over Easter they accept both cash and card, I think you should have the option really, great concept as usual lee 👍👍

Cheaper taxi going back could be cheaper due to the airport surcharge for pickup, not sure if it's applied to dropping off. I'd have asked to see their signs saying no filming lol. It isn't just Ryanair that are now card only after the pandemic, many, MANY airlines are now card only, and they do state on the website and at the time of booking that they are card only, so I stand that you should always have both card and cash, (on a flight it does make sense for a quicker turn around time and quicker service, but in most places, if I see card only, I avoid), use cash as much as you can, especially in the Canary Islands as a lot of wholesale companies delivering to bars etc are cash on delivery so it REALLY helps out the bars by not having to close/get extra staff etc to go to the bank and get cash out to pay for a delivery

I have a policy of not using a shop if they do not give choice of cash or card. As for Ryanair I would suggest plan ahead and take your own on board.

Hey Lee, it's a sad day when it's time to come home, especially these days and the standard of the UK etc. I've not been away for 10 years now, I'd so much love to but not possible. I'm sure if you didn't have Sarah and the kids you would be staying a lot longer! Great video as always. 👍

I went Dublin the other day from East Midlands airport and because it was late we had to wait outside as they had to quickly clean the plane before we could board and it was pissing it down, but £24 return I couldn’t complain haha, and yeah the priority could board first whilst we were waiting outside 😂

Another pleasant little vlog Lee xx

Sadly everything is going cashless today and the government and banks support this not just in this country but happening in many other countries across the world. Many bank branches are closing in many towns and cities where people especially who are elderly like the lady you helped have no Internet access to banks and may be unable to even know how to use a computer or smart phone. I have a younger sister who is nearly blind and has to be able to have access to her local branch where she lives in Lytham St Annes to assist her with finances. She can't use a mobile phone because she also has fits at times which would trigger her fits if she ever got one. Luckily she has a home assistant and a good neighbour to help her with things when needed. Thanks for helping the lady on the return flight it probably meant a lot for her. I would have done the same in that situation. Well done.

I used Ryanair return from stansted to Barcelona and was absolutely fine. Priority boarding cabin luggage own seat and was fine. Guess they hit and miss with some passengers etc

Nice one Lee, a true gentleman 👍

After working in retail for many years we were always told to tell customers not to record due to it actually being on private property and not out in public 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sometimes I wonder if it was so you couldn't see the pricing and how much it fluctuates over time.

I was delayed for 2 hours in January going to benidorm got to run way then had to turn back, due to a fault on the plane.we sat and waited to go on another plane .never even offered a bottle of free water and that was on jet2

Hi Lee, yes I agree should be a choice of card or cash. Many older people do have cards though especially if they travel, but the lady in question obviously didn’t. I know Jet 2 take cash or card….not sure what other airlines do 🤔 nice that you bought her a cuppa 👍

Your just sooo kind Lee ur lovely mum brought u up wonderful kindness and care is everything and your funny personality take care Lee HOW MUCH HAAAAA LOVE IT

The problem, Lee, is that choice usually comes at a cost. I’m not a great Ryanair fan but suspect that the reason they carry so many passengers is precisely because they cut costs to the bone and people then have a choice whether to fly with them or with someone else. If people choose to fly Ryanair, that’s where choice comes in.

That engine noise ;) Love it, thank you!

Nice flight! That shop in the airport, the food did look a bit posh but at the end of the day, it's still airport food!

It’s always the worst part of a holiday flying back home to rainy cold England. Great travel vlog nevertheless. What was the lady’s problem at Tenerife South Duty Free. Can’t see the problem with filming a bottle of whisky. Nice gesture to buy the lady a cup of tea at the end, but no Yorkshire tea! We certainly live in a cashless society now.

Not watched all of your video yet but wanted to comment on a couple of things you mentioned from the start. Airport to the hotel was probably more expensive due to a taxi pick up fee/surcharge from the airport. I’ve never been to Tenerife so only basing it on taxi’s here in thailand. Going to the airport is just a standard taxi fee of course as no surcharges. As for being ready to go home at the end of a holiday, I think that most people really don’t want to go home and would much rather stay on their holiday for as long as possible, as, let’s face it, once most people are back from their holiday it back to the grind again trying to save up enough money for the next holiday.

Good on you Lee I would've done the same shame on Ryanair I agree we should have a choice of card or cash as like you say there are older people and people with impairments who only use cash,I read a while ago of this young man with learning difficulties who can only deal with cash he went to take his mum out for mother's day and restaurant was cashless so he couldn't pay and he was distraught for a long time,they just need to think of others and keep the option of cash it's outrageous

Fair play Lee , my mum is old skool 81years if age , never used an atm card in her life and at this stage won’t ever lol, I’d do the very same thing , we’ll done buddy 👌👌👌
