Ryanair Barcelona Malaga is part of the Gold Medal Trip Report.
I write this quick review to say that I do not understand why so many people believe that Ryanair is terrible. This is the second time I have flown Ryan and like the first time, have no serious complaints (see Ryanair LUX-LIS: Not as Bad as Expected). It is critical to make sure that you have paid for the appropriate luggage (see 100 GBP Carry-On Bags? Scammed by Ryanair & Trips.com). If that is sorted, you should have no problems.
Going forward, I will skip my ‘review’ of Ryanair until there is something worthy to say. 
$132 to get from point A to point B can’t be beat (see Bus-Ted: Gold Medal Trip Report Points & Cash Summary).
I appreciate this review! It’s refreshing to hear a positive perspective on Ryanair, especially since so many people have strong opinions about the airline. Your experience on both flights sounds satisfactory, and it’s a great reminder that being prepared, especially regarding luggage fees, can make a big difference. Thanks for sharing your insights!
