Shame the photo isn't at LBA!

 

[White Heather]

Shame the photo isn't at LBA!

Probably their home base, Dublin.

 

[Finger66]

Definitely can't be LBA, there is blue sky lol

 

[Len Fish]

Well the Ryanair Learjet was at LBA yesterday, but never heard anything about a broken 737 to fix, so maybe something better?

Probably flew O’Leary in so he could be the 15 millionth passenger and claim a prize!

 

[HX3]

Shame no new routes on the back of the announcement- I suppose we live in hope

 

[LBA4EVER]

Definitely can't be LBA, there is blue sky lol

Definitely not LBA because you can see a digger doing some work on the apron! Haha

 

[Finger66]

Looks like it's on the verge of digging up some grass ready to accommodate Turfish Airlines flights to IST!

MM Turkish Delight?

Hope this is the right thread..We are flying at silly O Clock to FUE on Monday. First time with hold luggage on Ryanair. We are checking in on line but hope someone can advise on how you check in bags..ie can you go straight to a bag drop or do you have to use one of their machines first..If so, how exactly do they work? ..All advice appreciated..Thanks

 

[752]

I presume you would just go to Bag Drop if you are check in online at the FR desk? Ive used the Jet2 self service machines before and they are straight forward but im sure there will be a staff member on hand to assist. Enjoy your trip

 

[Aviador]

Don't get yourself all worked up. Somebody will be manning the self service counters to assist those who are unsure about the process.

 

[paully]

Thanks for the input.....we`ll see how it goes..appreciated

I would imagine some of those will be to cover for cancellations on Christmas Day.

It's that time of year again that Ryanair are messing with the schedules

The Leeds to Bratislava & Paris Beauvais routes no longer on sale for the whole of the winter 2023/24 season.
Both routes were due to operate 2x weekly Fridays & Sundays but the last flights depart November 5th 2023 and look to recommence from March 15th 2024.

Cant believe Bratislava had been curtailed.

Just an observation of our flight on Monday with Ryanair to FUE... excellent flight and for the money a bargain...after about 3 hrs though the seats are challenging but crew were excellent and I'd heard from inside the trade that they were recruiting local cabin crew now..That was the case on our flight, 3 female and No1 was male, all sounded local very helpful and pleasant...Jet2 rubbing off on them?

 

[Finger66]

As an airline they have definitely become better. Other than chopping our VNO, BTS and BVA that is lol. Seriously though they do seem to be doing very good things for LBA in general
