YouTuber Scott Manson flew 8 Ryanair flights in 50 hours across Europe, noting high on-time performance but criticizing crowded airports and tight connections.

YouTuber Scott Manson completed eight Ryanair flights across Europe in 50 hours, traveling from Glasgow to multiple destinations, and documented the journey. He noted that morning flights (7am–10am) had an 88% on-time rate, compared to 76% for afternoon flights (10am–1pm), attributing the difference to overnight aircraft prep and fewer cascading delays. Despite tight 20–25 minute turnarounds, Ryanair maintained an 88% on-time performance in January 2026 across over 73,000 flights. Manson experienced physical strain and criticized overcrowded airports like Bergamo and Venice, which lacked seating and food. Two flights were delayed by 20–30 minutes, leading him to jokingly label 3pm departures as “cursed.”
