To be honest it just sounds like a typical Ryanair ad. They rarely advertise anything on TV these days so they actually seem to be pushing the boat out more than anything. As for the free faRES, I doubt it...lots of hidden extras under the guise of taxes!!!

From looking at the ryr website it looks like the rte 1 primetime programme will examine the topic of "pilot fatigue" this evening
and of course they have reportedly "interviewed a number of ryanair pilots about their concerns"
i know that it will probably be full of ryr bashing and scaremongering but still might be worth a look

Taxes
This might sound like a stupid question but here goes. . . .
How can one be taxed on a ZERO expenditure or has Gordon "Meanie" Brown found a NEW way of raising revenue so he can pay welfare recipients even more unearned income?

Romania
The link below is to an article (in French, sorry, use Babelfish) that says that the Irish ambassador to Romania has indicated that Ryanair will visit Romania in October to negotiate opening routes to Bucharest and Timisoara.

As expected, isn't it?

Ryanair eyes Russian flights
14.09.06
Irish budget carrier Ryanair would consider adding destinations in Russia to its routes network, if the country enters a bilateral air services agreement with the European Union (EU), a spokesman for the airline said yesterday.
St Petersburg and other Russian cities would be a 'natural extension' to the airline's route network, Ryanair director of new route development Bernard Berger said yesterday at the World Low-Cost Airlines Congress in London. 'If Russia becomes available, there are many possible destinations [for Ryanair],' he said.
Ryanair is also open to adding more longer-distance routes to its network following the announcement of flights to Malta and Morocco, Berger said. However, generally speaking, the carrier prefers to keep flights 'as short as possible', and its average sector length over the coming years will not greatly increase,

Very interesting. As we've read in an other thread, some 2 years ago Ryanair has considered flying to the Finnish Lappeenranta Airport (they say it is situated some 2 hours from St Petersburg by road). Could work, who knows? But now, flying directly to St Petersburg would be a very new approach indeed. Hundreds of millions of potential passangers not yet served by any low-cost carrier... And of course many sights in Russia to be explored by EU citizens. But do you have any hints that Russia wants to enter the "open-skies" agreement? I cannot imagin MOL and his people negotiating with Russian officials 
through the diplomatic channels.
Have you ever been in Lappeenranta (or elsewhere on the Finnish Saimaa lake)? I guess it could be an interesting blend of tourist impressions as well
(St Petersburg being a main attraction of course).

Confirming these winter suspensions today, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair’s Head of Communications said:
“We will over the next four weeks announce a new European base and a further series of new routes from existing bases. The one aircraft which will be freed up for the winter period as a result of the above withdrawals will be allocated to this new route development this winter. We have selected these routes for withdrawal because they were the poorest performers in terms of advance bookings. However, we have assured each of the relevant airports that these routes will restart next February, well in advance of the summer season when travel to the French regions is strong”.

I wish I could just say it now but I cant.
Lets put it this way,
At this time its 50/50 between two bases, one in Spain and one in Germany, the one that is not announced in the next few weeks
will follow early 2007.
And it should be good news for a few uk airports.

What I have heard, from a person deeply involved in the talks
the two (airports) bases being talked about are not in the uk.
Routes from the chosen base will be at least two uk and two european bases.
thats all I can say.
