   RyanAir is truly one of the world's worst airlines. With Spirit Air in   
   the US doing their best to emulate them.   
      
   As a libertarian, you should hate them even more, because they do their   
   very best to milk government subsidies; they like to fly in and out of   
   tiny regional airports attracted there by regional development agencies   
   that want to bost that they village airport has international airline   
   service.

   I suspect the weight of your body is more that the weight of you bag and   
   coat, so there may have been some rational thought in her answer, too.
