On a slightly more optimistic note, Faro wasn't announced until December last year, so maybe any announcements of further RYR routes (Malaga perhaps), may not happen for a while yet.
I probably am being slightly pessimistic, I do remember the announcement of Faro quite late last year as I do like to keep the Wiki page on CODA up to date, I see Jamie2k9 about there aswell. So I guess we do have some time for good news to come out. My hopes for the future lay with the continuous road improvements (should they continue as planed) provided a larger sphere of influence to sway Ryanair or others to CODA.
It seems to me that LSTN needs a second flight on a FRI, SUN & MON at least. They seem to be sold out a lot on those days.
LSTN really does need a morning and evening flight on Fri & Sun. As from experience, I've had to opt for Easyjet to Belfast Intl for Xmas as I need a flight home after work, not during it!
