Suppliers who aren’t happy with the coverage the U.K.’s TimesOnline.com gives them might want to think twice about calling them up and howling about it. This morning, RyanAir apparently was none too pleased when reporter Ginny McGrath took on the task of trying to explain the low-cost carrier’s new no-frills check-in policy, which now includes a £5 online check-in fee. It has also doubled checked baggage fees.
After getting an earful, McGrath began tweeting about the calls to The Times' 4,235 Twitter followers….
Ryanair on phone again complaining we've got it in for them and arguing a point. Honestly, you bring it on yourself http://cli.gs/GYVSuP

As for what the world is tweeting about travel agents:
I found it interesting that the UK's EasyJet was advising a client to book direct (easyJetCare @pezholio thanks for feedback, we are taking this up with
your travel agent. We suggest you always book direct to get best fare
and service) as my lone experience with them was the absolute worst I'd ever had with a travel supplier...but I'm saving that for a future column.
