Those of you knocking RYR's alternative airports like GRO, NRN, BVA etc etc have no idea.
Apart from the obvious cost savings they offer, they have small, modern terminals that you can pass through in a fraction of the time it takes to get through the majors. the whole experience is so much easier and quicker.
You are also much more likely to meet up with any baggage etc you have checked in, and in half of the time there as well.
If you travel on one of the bus services they are easy to find and run in line with the aircraft schedules. car hire is normaly cheap, easy to find, and the roads in and out easily navigated.
Traveling as SLF through a large airport is a nightmare these days, even if you are a seasoned traveller.
I was down in GRO a few weeks ago, The road signs say Barcelona Gerona Airport, so I guess you need to tell the Spanish they don't know where Barcelona is!
