Ryanair - 8

[racedo]

Ryanair admit in their q1 report that pax numbers will be down some 4% in the winter vs last winter. With very high fuel costs working though the millions of 1 euro flight are gone for ever. At some point the summer pax will fall as well

Nope they are very clear they have little visibility on passenger numbers in the second half year

As for the summer pax will fall as well, given your forecasts of Ryanairs doom over last couple of years I reckon a pinch of salt is appropriate condiment required.

The routes between Marseille and non-base destinations will be achieved by using aricraft from Dublin, Stansted and Ciampino on W rotations through Marseille.

@Jamie2k9 - any news/rumours for KUN? As mentioned, still tons of available time looking into winter schedule right now...

[peba]

so whats the latest about the winter schedule for cork shannon and dublin? Is there going to be serious cuts again?

[Jamie2k9]

DUB has 6 week reduction, otherwise its the same as last year.
ORK and SNN more less the same as last year.

[j636]

In those 6 weeks is there a large reduction by FR are just a little.

[Jamie2k9]

Have an idea but wont say until I see the final schedule in a week or two.

"Or wants to buy their toiletries / suncreams before they leave, and that may want to bring some back if they are not all finished. And those with a little dignity that would like more than a couple of changes of clothes for the evenings.

See the same people leaving the hotel each night for a week / fortnight in the same clothes??? Must've flown Ryanair!! Lovely..."

OK, so some people dress up, many don't. If you bring home yer unused suncream there isn't much hope for you. Kids don't wear much and for €40+ of baggage charges you can buy a few t-shirts etc sur place.

I agree that cheap doesn't = value but it sure is better than the days of the monopoly government owned airlines. My principle is to give FR et al as little as possible, that way I get value and have some readies to spend on hols.

Without checking on here that its already been posted but FR are to charge (€10) for seats with extra legroom.

And will that automatically include "PRIORITY QUEUE" ?

[dwlpl]

As I read it it looks to be part of the 'Reserved seating' trial.

No toilet roll!

Ryanair flight from Canaries to UK departed for a 4 hour sector with no toilet roll. Captain was aware and for whatever reason decided to go anyway.

Shameful in the extreme.

[eu01]

Another new route will be EIN - KRK - EIN. Next W-pattern or perhaps Eindhoven will become a new base?

[AMS flyer]

A total of 4 new routes out of EIN!

1) EIN-KRK

2) EIN-KUN

3) EIN-GDN

4) EIN-RAK

and further continuation of EIN-MRS plus additional frequencies on STN/BGY/CIA.

Totally agree with you about this, their was a memo a few months ago stating crew must depart without toilet rolls/water . . . Since you have took the time to post on pprune, please write in about it. The crew will get a grilling for it.
