This incident has gone around the world. Even the New York Times have published his address.
Hopefully the fact the incident was on the ground in Spain on an Irish aircraft will not enable him to wriggle out of prosecution here.
I want his face on every news bulletin when he walks into court.

I believe Barcelona council are registering it as a hate crime so he may in the future face legal action in Catalonia.

The media will on ever say him was from Brum as they shamefully did with the London bridge terrorist. I think they tried to land the manchester arena bomber on brum. But this one is from Barking. Whilst there are many fine people from Barking sadly it is a very large hotbed of racism.

Ryanair should have thrown him off the flight whilst the plane was on the ground. No excuses for not doing so. More bad publicity for them...and sadly for Brum, even though he is from Barking!

We’re going to Wexford in Feb for a quick break.

Ryanair WAS first choice, but now we’ll be booking Aer Fungus.

Murcia swaps to the new airport from Jan 15th.

I guess we're lucky they didn't drop it, Vilnius is still not bookable.

A strange sight indeed..... Waiting to board with Ryanair at Faro on Monday three Ryanair buses passed in front of the airport departure lounge heading for the Ryanair planes parked way off to the left. The buses were all blue and seemingly had opaque windows with the word Ryanair painted full length along the chassis. They looked just like airport buses anywhere.

I travel a lot with Ryanair both in the UK and abroad and i've not seen Ryanair buses used anywhere before... Are they now handling their own passengers at some airports or are they possibly opening up another revenue stream: pay for your on-board case, seat and now are they going to park well away and charge passengers to be taken to the terminal...?

Anyone any ideas?

They handle themselves at Dublin i believe.

Alicante and Malaga will both go up to 13x weekly at the beginning of June with Alicante being 2x daily except Wednesday and Malaga being 2x daily except Saturday. Both were previously scheduled at 11x weekly.

Athens, Bergamo, Berlin, Bologna, Brindisi, Catania, Gothenburg, Lisbon, Marrakesh, Marseille, Rome, Seville, Valencia, Vilnius and Valencia..... all unserved, under served or ending routes yet we just get even more to Alicante and Malaga

Every little helps I guess.

Some of the winter programme is starting to be loaded.

The bad news is that Verona drops to weekly on a Sat.

The good news is that Porto continues at 2x weekly into winter where previously it was summer only.

Madrid stays at 4x weekly, Barcelona is daily and of course Vilnius is dropped at the end of this month.

Many changes to come I'm sure.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Krakow is now loaded and continues into winter at 3x weekly.

Compared to last winter we have the 2x weekly Vilnius gone but Porto operating 2x weekly for it's first winter. Verona is cut by one weekly flight but Krakow gains one.

Unsurprisingly I think the rest is more or less as you were.

Sorry Ray, this isn't about your post but more about Ryanair

Woo hoo, even more flights to Alicante.

Of all the routes that Ryanair could offer this is exactly what we need

The budget carrier announced extra summer flights to Alicante from Birmingham today...... sees its output from Birmingham increased to twice daily.

Could we be seeing these planes on flights to Modlin?

https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-sun-to-be-rebranded-as-buzz-in-autumn-2019/

This isn't the first time Ryanair have used this brand. The original Buzz was based at Stansted with a BAe-146 fleet. I think it was one of the first in that trend of onomatopoeic names for low-cost carriers (FlyWhoosh, Zoom, Wizz, Clickair, Swoop etc).

 

[nwoody2001]

Humour me ....are these flights extra growth or moved from elsewhere? What was the original frequency?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Alicante was originally 11x weekly. At the start of Feb it was announced that it would go 13x weekly from June and now 14 weekly, so really we're only seeing one extra flight per week.

I believe the first UK low cost airline to use such naming for its brand was 'Go', the British Airways subsidiary which operated initially from Stansted and later also from Bristol. I used the Bristol routes several times during its brief existence before being bought out by the orange monster. It was a good service, and the novelty of fares which normal people could afford was really exciting!

As we were straying quite a way from Ryanair (my fault I know) I've moved the chat HERE

Anyone know what is happening that weekend?
