Ryanair are famous for not paying for what they don't need (and often not paying for things they do need!) but why, in GRO, do they get prime spots on the apron?
I have been to GRO 4 times in the last two years on the BLK-GRO service and every time I have noticed that at least 5 FR a/c were taking the main stands on the apron and airlines such as MYT, TOM and Spanair are having to park on the other stands.
I know FR are based there but so are Spanair and they don't seem to get the 'FR treatment' and I'm guessing they are probably paying more than FR!
Does this happen at other bases? Does FR take better spots than the other airlines who are more likely to pay more?
Cheers.
