Leeds Bradford: Ryanair Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Bigman]

What really hacks me off is when you see Ryanair announce routes like Cologne and Frankfurt Main to Manchester, instead of trying them from LBA, LPL or even NCL. Manny already has flights to these destinations care of Germanwings, Lufthansa etc.

Ryanair restart quite a few of its summer seasonal routes from Sunday what with the start of the airlines summer 2017 schedule. Also think the reintroduction of the Gerona route commences from Monday.

 

[a300boy]

I was fancying a day trip to Dublin and note that you have to return at around 1600 from Dublin now rather than a time of around 2000 the last time I went.
Is this new ?
It makes it much less attractive if you want to go and return the same day.

 

[lbaspotter]

As always with the summer schedule Mon to Fri FR156/157 is operated early evening by a Dublin based aircraft. where as you'll find the weekend Sat - Sun are still late night return using an Leeds based aircraft so still good for a day trip.

If you want to do a midweek Dublin day trip, why not try going outbound on the early Ryanair and return on the retimed later Aer Lingus service which starts next week.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

I know it is early for Summer 2018 but do any of you have hope of a 4th based aircraft?

Ryanair are very good at growing presence, seats and frequencies by using away based aircraft however it would be very good for the local economy if they finally after is it 8 years of 3 based aircraft.

 

[LeedsPilot]

Well, with no sign of MOL changing his outlook on the UK since before brexit was even voted for I highly doubt it, at least for next year. That being said, we will eventually have certainty about what's going to happen and so will Ryanair so I don't doubt UK based expansion in the future.
I too hope for another sizable expansion as we've seen this summer. Looking through the Ryanair thread it was summer 2012 (5 years ago) we got the third based a/c. Ryanair is currently the only airline capable of driving expansion into new markets from LBA - especially year-round city destinations. Interestingly, we used to have flights to Milan/BGY, does anyone know what the loads were like? Madrid is another destination I think could do well. Additionally, I think RYR could actually help to greatly increase passenger numbers on city routes to Rome, Budapest, Prague and Berlin which currently have a relatively high priced, limited operation courtesy of Jet2. Finally, I'd like to see further expansion into eastern Europe. Bucharest currently supports 3x weekly A321 flights from DSA with Wizz and Sofia 2x A320 flights.

Just a little heads up for anyone that may still need it, Ryanair Boeing 737-800WL, EI-DCL which is painted in the Hybrid Ryanair/Boeing livery is currently one of the 3x Leeds/Bradford based aircraft.

 

[Bigman]

Great...another based old crate!!! When was the last time we had one from the FRx or FZx ranges based here??

 

[airforced]

That's a bit rich Bigman. An 'old crate' as you describe it may well be a geriatric bird as far as Ryan are concerned at 12 years old but it can't compare with the Jet2 old crates we have seen and are still seeing on a regular basis at Leeds and elsewhere.

I'm not ar Ryan fan either but had my third flight with them last month but have to say (annoyingly perhaps) that my flight to Chania and back went without a hitch.

CWL will happily take that old crate off LBAs hands! 🙂

 

[Bigman]

I give up!!! All I was pointing out was that we never seem to get any nice new air frames based here. It is not as if they haven't enough to pick from.

 

[White Heather]

Perhaps our ribbed concrete runway shakes all the nuts and bolts out of them so they don't stay new very long here!

Not just Ryanair either, As it seems to have the same effect with Jet2 newest aircraft as well.

 

[Seasider]

I had 3 flights with them earlier this month and they were all on time with attentive crew and no "hard sell".

 

[Finger66]

Ryanair have made huge customer service strides in the last 12 to 18 months. They also do have a comparatively young fleet. If I had MOL's money then I wouldn't be overly concerned about things with my airline!

 

[Bhowani]

Can anyone suggest when the summer 2018 flights "outline" will be out. I am particularly interested on what might be offered to the Canaries Thursday.

Yes, I know it's 12 months off........................
