Talking Thomsonfly & Dublin

Thomsonfly rumoured to be pulling the Doncaster-Dublin route because of Ryanair. Not likely.

A quick cost comparison of several departure dates on both www.Thomsonfly.com and the Ryanair site show that Thomsonfly is generally cheaper by at least £20. Now that either means that people aren't booking Thomsonfly because they are falling for the traditional Ryanair trick of looking and feeling cheap even when they are fleecing you, or that Thomsonfly as part of the large TUI group are undercutting Ryanair in an aggressive pricing policy.

To repeat: Ryanair appear cheap in almost every way and people should shop around before committing their hard earned money.

Good luck to Thomsonfly at Doncaster. Some may not be aware that the famous Britannia name is disappearing, to be replaced entirely by Thomsonfly. This means only that the Thomsonfly on-board service will be moving closer to Britannia and away from the "traditional" no frills service.
