Why are TLL routes being dropped? The loads are good, fares are good, and the sales are good. . . .
To be clear, I have no knowledge about an upcoming FR base in Tallinn, it is my pure speculation so far. Speaking of Central-Eastern Europe I also wonder why FR still didn't create a single base anywhere in Poland or e.g. in Slovak Bratislava, so dependant on them... amazing!

Next Ryanair "base"
Andorra la Vella ?
Makes sense.
No taxes there. No pesky labour laws either.
Handy for punters from Barcelona and Toulouse; Madrid and Lyons at a pinch.
Why stop there? "Get this boys: Andorra la Vella will be marketed as Paris South West."
Mountains ? I see no mountains.

In the booking overview it now shows "low fares available" where previously you could see the prices on alternative days. In now means you have to click on every day to see the fare. Not very customer friendly?

Well this is a first for me so you all better sit down !
I HATE the website and the way you cant see the cost of flights for the full week, like many other passengers I like to look what dates offer the best price but now all I can see is LOW FARES AVAILABLE, well im sorry if it is putting me off looking for cheap flights It must be putting 100's of others off . PLEASE tell me it is only a short term thing and that the prices are going to be shown again soon .

First, you have to relax a bit.
Secondly, this is surely just a a glitch, as all is as usual when you switch language to German (Deutschland). Or if you know French, select Belgie (Francais). Oh, or even Croatia (English) or any other country apart from UK. Odd error, but then their IT department must be all on minimum wage.

still 77+ million people a year across Europe do not seem to have
many problems using this airline........or its website

No problems with the website? I wonder how many customers are being discouraged every year by repeatedly emerging "your session has been locked". Thousands? Millions? In terms of money, what sum is being lost ("never again" etc.)?

Im just as sure that fewer people than you think have such problems.....If
the airline was as worried about it as you seem to be - then Im sure they would do something......

'never used a single one of them.....'
I didnt make you look like an idiot did I !
'Err.....that's actually 77+ Million 'seats sold' not 77+ million people'
Again I never made you out to be an idiot !
'The actual number of individuals that use Ryanair is a figure that they studiously avoid publishing.'
Oh dear me .............

Up to a couple of years ago I probably bought ten or twenty tickets a year with them but (thankfully) never used a single one of them
On the "your session has been locked" subject I entirely agree that this happens far too often but, to be fair, I have always received a flight confirmation email within a minute in such cases.

This surely is a bizarre but interesting post...It also may explain why FR could not afford to keep it's routes at BLK and why BB could not afford to keep FR at BLK..It was unsustainable cheap fares and not the ADF it would seem was the reason FR left BLK.
On the Yahoo Travel Rant - Jet2 are the same..They clearly state on their website that anyone not turning up with their online boarding pass will be charged i think £30+. Fair charge are not, people are warned what will happen if they do not turn up with their boarding pass - I expect FR are the same and have made it clear when bookings are made.

MAN-ALC flight i was on, very disspointing! ryanair is terrible with costomer services and are rude! never flying again!
Most people I know in Gran Canaria now use FR as an "of course" and you will be very hard pressed to find any "Ryanair bashers" here.

Am I the only one who finds this thread infuriating. Ryanair are like Marmite, you either love them or hate them.
//Rant On//
Personally, I have flown Ryanair 3 times over the years and can't complain about the service received on any occasion although the on-time jingle is annoying, especially when the plane is late. I can't complain about the crews either as they have been good, and at the end of the day we should all now be used to having a mixture of nationalities in the workplace.
Since I usually book holidays several months in advance, I usually fly EasyJet because their fares are lower when purchased in advance. I do believe that Ryanair need to be more upfront with their advertising, as the prices advertised do not correspond to the prices paid. I can only fine the £8 deal flying to somewhere I don't want to go, when I don't want to go. Flying to somewhere I do want to go, when I want to go tends to cost £80 each way. At that price and allowing for luggage, food etc it is often cheaper flying on other airlines.
I really do not have any sympathy for people who do not read the Ryanair T&Cs and turn up at the airport without their boarding passes and especially oversize hand luggage. I purchased a suitcase for my wife and myself that I made sure met the hand luggage rules. As someone who made sure they follow the rules, I would rather Ryanair checked every case going as hand luggage, as most of what gets carried on is too large. It p$$&& me off that they let them on and don't charge.

FR still in quarrel with the Catalonian government?
I am looking for flights between Catalonia and Sweden for the winter season and there seems to be no flights loaded at all from Girona? There are flights from Beauvais to Barcelona El Prat but not to Girona (and not to Reus either). Anyone here who knows when the winter schedule might be fully loaded?
