Prices are the same on the FR flights as they are from the other airports, assuming one 15kg bag each.
Im struggling to understand the 'little extras' you are refering to?

I haven't seen the adverts for the flights, but would the "little extras" be things like airport security charges (often twice the air fair), on board catering (2 day old cheese rolls at £4 each, train tickets to central London from Stansted, irish lotto tickets or use of the lavatory?).

Yes it will of course be subject to the usual Ryanair gubbins, but as far as airport charges, the fares are the same as LBA, EMA and DSA.

Cheap shot
That's a cheap shot. Most of us DSA'ers want HUY to succeed tho' obviously not at too much expense to DSA - but given that when EZY came to DSA tonto hoped it'd kick start Jet2 into a move to HUY I somehow doubt he is closely connected to DSA!

Apologies Teevee didn't mean to offend. Just seems there are certain people want airports to fail.
Seems Tonto68 may be one of those. But he dos seem to have gone quiet all of a sudden.

I notice that Larnaca will now be operated for only two months this summer, from May to July. This is a shame as it was one of the remaining routes that has been operating year round. It would seem aircraft availability is the issue here, now that ECA have gone.

Pug,
not so much aircraft unavailability as the economic situation in Cyprus.
Few, if any hotels on the island are full and they're fighting tooth & nail to get the trade.
Simply put, there isn't the trade there used to be and a number of other regional airports have had their flights cut too.

Then why operate the flights at all? If they just were'nt selling then HUY would be the first to be chopped, but instead they are to run a short season before the school holidays. Suggests the aircraft are to be used elsewhere.
Someone who works in the industry told me last year that the holidays were still doing well financially, as the costs were always higher than most other euro destinations. Likewise, flights from HUY always popular.

Shaftr1......how wrong you can be. Stop accusing when you havent got a clue. 
I may work at DSA
, I may work at HUY , I may work at EMA , I may work at LBA . I may not even have anything, directly, to do with Aviation.
But one thing is certain ............................. I know what I am talking about.
I shall wait for the apology, but i wont hold my breath
And BTW, I havent gone quiet ........... a little thing called work occasionally rears its ugly head. Some of us cant be on here every day

I have to reitterate tonto68, your predictions have never come to anything. You post rumour after rumour on here and nothing happens. Still nothing from Jet2, and I doubt there will be! You posted about HUY adding a little extra to FR bookings, which is completely untrue. You say you know what you are talking about. We have yet to see this in evidence.

Temptage; I'm talking about the wednesday flight. You probably know that the Saturday (Thomas Cook) flight was canned after the announcement that ECA were to be closed down. The demise of Eurocypria has thrown a spanner in the works for a number of regional airports.

Keep your eyes peeled. All I will say is 'three letters and one number'
Looks like Andy Mach 1 was right. Sky 1 BBC 1 or ITV 1 was probably closer to the mark than an airline with three letters and one number.

It seems Thomas Cook have binned Tunisia from Humberside. Not completely surprising considering the troubles, but they are still on sale from DSA so far.
