Apropos closeness/convenience; Eindhoven is one of the best, imo, low cost bus every 20 mins gets you to the station in 20 mins. The station has connections all over. Easy-peasy connections to A'dam and Maastricht/Aachen for ex.
Cannot be said for all FR destinations, I know.

A few days ago was in STN and got talking to one on the ground handlers and was told the FR profits on route from LPA,TFS,ACE and FUE have taken a hit and there has being a general reduction on flights for all 4 airports next summer. As a matter of interest what are the busiest International flights from the 4 airports in the summer months of July and August, I know it varies other months of the year. He also said he expects further cuts from STN next year.
In time will this not happon to the Greek, Cyprus routes as they will do well now as they are new to FR.

As it happens though, he may well be right, it is a simple question of distance. Most passengers might not be accountants, but they can do a simple cost benefit equation - if they can reach a sunny destination on the Spanish costas for £50, but the Canaries are £100, they won't go.
Now the sun may be better in the Canaries in the winter, but I think people still have certain expectations of the kind of cheap fares they think locos, and particularly Ryanair should deliver.
Ditto for Cyprus, slightly less so for Greece.

Would say they have with the cost of fuel, one thing is for sure there fares from Dublin last summer make Aer Lingus look like the low cost carrier.
As for the UK compitation could also be a factor.

Murcia flights back on sale. As for Canaries routes
Not certain but Dublin and London STN would have the most flights with the bussiest at that time of year being Glasgow PIK and London STN from TFS daily and Dublin from ACE daily.

Ryanair to raise peak baggage fees - RT News
We see PAX spending more on basic fare to avoid ryanair. In November most other airlines have been adding Pax at Ryanair's expense. BA, Easyjet etc can run normal program of flights.

I think Aer Lingus will be very happy about this in Dublin.... having used both Ryanair and aer Lingus a huge amount (approx 20 times) each year for the last 6 years I'm booking Aer Lingus a lot more now than a couple of years ago.Its not only the price has narrowed a lot but the inflight comfort too.Ryanair are still a great airline from Dublin with a super route network but Aer Lingus are catching up fast....
HUY-ALC days and times removed from the timetable though still available in the drop down menu. A victim of the dispute or could they be changing days/frequency?

Going Out From Liverpool - Tampere
Sorry, there are no available flights departing on the 15 May - 21 May
This may be because:
The flight you have chosen is full
The route selected has not yet commenced operation
...
It's Ryanair style, so to say.Sorry, there are no available flights departing on the 15 May - 21 May

Goodwill is lost every time Ryanair sting pax with £60 charge for boarding card or a fortune for another bag.

Quo vadis Ryanair, where are you going? Still do not realize anything? People keep flying as long as you are cheap. You wanted pax to make their choices only based on prices. As we've noticed, the prices keep rising. What do you offer instead... further cuts?

So KUN is becoming a base for W flights for RYR? They're building a station there, have an hangar, so kinda just quitting KUN does not seem viable.
But it's hard to understand RYR strategy for the KUN base now...

A good comment on RYR strategy gives The Independent today: Ryanair's new fees: £1 for your ticket, £5 for your sandwich – £100 for your bag.
By the way: these £1 ticket prices are not achievable any more, it seems. Good! What a high quality service will be introduced in return for all these price rises? Is it New Free Online Puzzle Game reCAPTCHA Security Check? Cool, pax will be extremely satisfied, I'm sure.

Can Ryanair see the % of traffic to its website ?
Can Ryanair see how many leave the site without booking ?
Can Ryanair see how many leave without booking after one attempt or two or three attempts and before and after "CAPTCHA".
I know of three groups of friends, 14 in total that have booked with Easyjet after leaving the Ryanair website, sick of "CAPTCHA".
I myself have lost all love for Ryanair and have booked ACE with Easyjet from LGW even though it adds an hour to the drive and even though the flight times are not as good with Easyjet.
You cant tell me that Ryanair has not seen a massive fall in booking since CAPTCHA was added to the site, everyone I talk to seems to be looking at EZY, BA, MON ect so I wonder how many people out there are doing the same, It must be hurting Ryanair's pockets or it will soon, it has to be.
