Hi, is AirRyan reliable for this trip? They seem to be cheaper but does it work out the same as the major airlines when its said and done? We will have carry ons and checked luggage. I also don't want to go cheaper and then be delayed because AirRyan isn't reliable. Curious what others have experienced. Thx!

Is it really cheaper once you've added on all the extra fees? You could check FlightAware (or a similar site) to see the on time averages for your flights.

It's Ryanair.
They get you hooked on the "fare" and then get you on the options. Extra for larger carry on, extra for checked luggage, extra for water, extra for everything.
Compare what Ryanair costs when all is said and done with the other airlines flying that route.
Ryanair is as reliable as the next guy.
