Re Ryanair schedule and base at Luton yes there is a lot of strange things going on.Maybe they just signed a deal for x number of years and are committed for a while then will just move out to STN-who knows!
Rome has been in their booking engine for years but not operated.
Vilnius is no longer operating from Luton.
Their Irish routes are popular and even now there are extra weekend flights to Dublin FR6090 was added quite a few weeks ago with a DUB based a/c.
There is a large Irish community in and around Luton so you would expect that, hence the reason why so many couldn't understand why no airline stepped on to the Waterford route.
Big question is -if they did move out would Easy be tempted to take up the Irish routes-or is that why Ryanair are still here
