Ryanair

[Finger66]

Not going to be an option for me ever again based on my one and only return experience of them

 

[Finger66]

That was Wizzair by the way I was referring to. Dont have much of a problem with FR - other than work wise that is

How bad were Wizz??

 

[Finger66]

Pretty bad. It was from/to LTN which didn’t help. Just found on board service appalling and staff not friendly

Ryanair’s Summer schedule starts this Sunday. (27th March) good to see Girona, Alicante and Limoges back so far.

Alicante returns, crazy it vanished over winter!

 

[CM.]

Indeed. One I’ll never know the answer to. There’s 2 Ryanair Alicantes on Sunday.

With the clocks going back, Ryanair begin their summer season right on cue. Unlike easyJet, Jet2, TUI who gradually build their summer up Ryanair jump straight in both feet first so some strange routings happen in the "shoulder summer" months of April/October - especially considering some of these destinations won't be open, resorts, hotels, restaurants, bars - all still closed.

Nice to see 3 Ryanair aircraft departing LBA before 0900; DUB, GRO and ALC with IBZ, ACE and AGP been the arrivals back at night.

Here is hoping to a successful and busy summer for the airline.

The clocks are going Forward

Jet2,

We are doing so gradually as you say. But we are planning to see some Summer routes begin into next week such as Dalaman, Rome, Barcelona and Naples to name some along with increases on routes that already operate.

Slowly though - them daily Dalaman flights don’t begin daily. Once/Twice weekly and all to get the operations etc up and running for example in Dalaman. It’s not just about the airlines operating the route, there has to be the hotels, resorts, bars and restaurants, for the tourists. And they slowly begin opening up through April ready for May.

Which is where my point comes from for Ryanair. Greek routes operate but most resorts etc won’t be open just yet.

 

[CM.]

Agreed. As for most places the summer season begins in May as is the case for Jet2. But it’s a start and is already looking busy from tommorow with plenty of FR action on the ramp to tommorow

I had to have my brain overwork to figure out what was LBA based and what was overseas based. Lovely to see -and if it pisses the GALBA lot off and every single Leeds Labour MP I'm all for it.

 

[ls27]

Ther's no way that the MPs will be pissed off, in fact after their 26% pay increase they will be more assertive.

 

[Finger66]

The bottom line is the industry is seeing a far quicker than expected return, which is great news and very welcome. Nice Terminal extension to come and some returning routes. All very positive just now after 2 years of gloom

Knowing how MPs operate, they will probably claim credit in the future for generating sustainable growth at LBA through their actions. Particularly the MP here in NW Leeds.

Think you've overstated the pay rise, it's 2.7%, still too much!

Waste of money.

 

[Len Fish]

Doesn’t sound much but equates to an increase of £2212 per year. Apparently justified by saying it reflects the increasing workload of MP’s (opposing new green airport terminal proposals that would bring economic benefit to their region perhaps?).

Anyone else spot we had a new destination operate for the first time today - Paris Beauvais.
