Obviously Ryanair has some work to do at their web site. One further example. Have you ever tried to get prices of your planned trip from Tampere to DUB and back via your favourite "Find Lowest Fares" page? Well, until last Moday it simply wasn't possible. After selecting TMP you didn't get DUB as an option at all. Only now it finally works (after 2 months of non-existance). Aren't they looking for any improvements on the site?

RIX
The Latvian airport regulator last night ruled that the 80% discounts on offer to low cost carriers such as Ryanair are in breach of EU rules and must be abolished within 90 Days.
Thats prob what Ryanair have been waiting for to see about the base there. So it looks likely that the next base wont be RIX.
Any idea's on where it will be? 2 more aircraft for DUB to show Aer Lingus shareholders what their future holds? or a deal at ORK?

Edging towards a deal with Cork if certain conditions can be met. They'll get a far higher yield than at SNN but may have a serious impact on existing carriers.
A difficult one for the CAA and the DAA to decide on but expect significant political pressure on them to do the deal!

I think it's a very good thing, isn't it? While the FR's feedback system is almost non-existent and "normal" customers' opinions mean little for them, everybody needs some form of survey and sort of validation of their own moves, plans and decisions. Apart from some people VERY malicious towards FR (they certainly may have reasons to act so), you can find many allies on this forum as well. I believe we are able to be constructive, and indeed, some of us even have a vision what Ryanair could be if... (and if, and if)...

Have to say, that post smelled of snobbery to me!
As regards discounts, RYR like many other airlines, low cost and traditional, attract support in terms of discounts from the airports they serve. Why the bl**dy hell should they? Well, by flying people in, they create jobs, bring customers for the airport shops, bars and restaurants and many other things. This is what markets do - airports want airlines and are prepared to compete with each other - by cutting deals - to get them.

Good. Why the bl*ody hell does RYA think it should get any discounts? If anything, they should pay higher fees than proper airlines for the people pollution (they're avg pax) that they'll be shipping in. A developing nation like Latvia needs proper route development and feed into hubs to ensure the connectivity that can ensure one-stop access to global destinations.
Why should they get discounts? like anything you get discount when you buy in bulk. The amount of pax they deliver creates jobs in the economy as well as revenue for the airport. these discounts are on offer to all airlines once they guarantee Xmillion pax. They are not specific to Ryanair, although they are the best at getting them and makeing them work.

We've cleaned up the map, now let's do the booking engine!
Surely we and PPrune too ought to be getting paid for this service?
I noticed the following rogue routes in the 'Find Lowest Fares' section:

TwinAisle and VAN BOSH totally agree with you they are bringing jobs into region shops etc etc. Also surely good business is about cutting the right deal and getting the best deal they can its called business. The problem is that the other airlines are jealouse of Ryanair and cant compete with them and the only way they can compete is by putting presure on governemnets.
Also if the airlines get a good deal it is passed onto the customer and more people visit the country economies grow. Ryanair`s discounts are good for the passengers, good the airline it atracts more passengers and it is good for the place they fly to as more visitors.
