1. Ryanair to Girona commences 25 March next year and operates 4 x weekly (M, W, F and Su) - mid-evening arrival/departure.
2. WindSheer's and WATABENCH's comments re saturation at terminal are interesting and relevant because I believe they both have work connections with the airport.
I speak from the point of view of a customer and when I last travelled in early September it was at lunchtime on a Wednesday when the airport, although fairly busy, was a comfortable experience.
I take the point about the early mornings when thirty or more departures are scheduled in those first three hours.
I should have had two early starts in the past couple of months or so but these failed to materialise thanks to easyJet's habit of cancelling flights.
From what has been said they may have done me a favour.
Incidentally, a look at the Newcastle thread reveals almost identical comments about overcrowding and lack of check-in facilities as Bristol.
I suppose this is one of the penalties of success.
