I have never had any problem with customer care from FR over the many many years I have used them, infact they have helped me just as much as you would expect from any Airline.

I have noticed that Ryanair have changed the unaccompanied minors policy?

Why do this - as when I have to get Polish family over which are younger than 18 - they will have to go with Easyjet! I am sure a lot more people under 18 will have this problem?

So even a 16 year old boy/girl can't bring someone under 18 with them? Even as it says on the webhome page - 16 old year old's are adults!

It seems like a stupid idea to me - unless they are actually saving money?

Nikolai.

P.S

I am not a Pole - I am a Pol!

Ryanair does not carry unaccompanied minors (under 14 years). Escort and special facilities are NOT available. Currently Ryanair carry unaccompanied minors aged 14 or 15 years ONLY upon completion and signature of a form of indemnity at check-in of EACH departure airport, by a parent or guardian. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FACILITY WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE AS AND FROM THE 1st APRIL 2009
Children under the age of 14 years must always be accompanied on the same reservation by a passenger over 16 years. AS AND FROM THE 1st APRIL 2009 ALL CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS MUST ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED ON THE SAME RESERVATION.



FROM THE UK WEBSITE


Firma Ryanair nie przewozi osób nieletnich (w wieku poniżej 14 lat) bez opieki. Opieka i usługi szczególne są NIEDOSTĘPNE. Linie Ryanair przewożą osoby nieletnie w wieku 14-15 lat bez opiekuna WYŁĄCZNIE po wypełnieniu i podpisaniu przez rodzica lub opiekuna formularza ubezpieczenia na stanowisku odprawy w KAŻDYM miejscu odlotu.
Dzieci w wieku poniżej 14 lat muszą podróżować z osobą towarzyszącą w wieku powyżej 16 lat w ramach tej samej rezerwacji.
Pasażerowie w wieku 14 lub 15 lat, którzy podróżują bez opiekuna, muszą podczas odprawy okazać swój ważny dokument ze zdjęciem. Rodzic lub opiekun musi pozostać na lotnisku do czasu odlotu.


FROM THE POLAND WEBSITE


Ryanair no aceptará en ningún vuelo a menores (menores de 14 años) que no vayan acompañados de un adulto. NO disponemos de servicios de acompañamiento ni servicios especiales. Ryanair SÓLO permitirá el viaje a menores de 14 ó 15 años de edad sin acompañante si alguno de sus padres o su tutor legal firma un formulario de exención de responsabilidad en el mostrador de facturación del aeropuerto de salida, tanto en el vuelo de ida como en el de vuelta.
Los niños menores de 14 años deberán ir siempre acompañados, en la misma reserva, por un pasajero mayor de 16 años.
Los pasajeros de 14 ó 15 años de edad que viajen sin acompañante deberán presentar un documento de identidad con fotografía válido en el mostrador de facturación. Los padres o el tutor legal deberán permanecer en el aeropuerto hasta que salga el vuelo.


FROM THE SPANISH WEBSITE


They don't mention about the 1st of April the change in not allowing under 18's to fly. I understand you may not speak Polish or Spanish (I speak Polish, English, Spanish and Russian and it is not that difficult!!! ) but you can see that there is no CAPS LOCK typing?

As I can see, you have already found the thread:

- and I believe the above question/comment of yours also belongs there.

I've read that there is a press conference in "Hilton Vienna Danube Hotel" in Vienna, 14:00 local time and it should be about the expansion at BTS. HHN-BTS is not bookable for summer (last summer 7/7) and there are rumours about NRN-BTS.
So let's see what will come. If a FR base will be announced tomorrow the funeral of NE can begin.

Sounds a bit extravagant for Ryanair. Did the local youth hostels not have any rooms available for hire ?

This looks like them getting a foothold at BTS before W6 moves in. Makes sence for W6 to stick to PRG, and FR to expand at BTS where they already have a market.

RYR Online Timetable - "Next Day" Button Not Working?

I was wondering if this was just a problem for me or a known error on the Ryanair Timetables.
If you go to the timetable section on the RYR website and choose a route to show (say DUB to STN as it is daily) for any chosen date it will show all the flights on that day.

If you then click the "next day" button above the DUB - STN flights section (the top section) it will not move to the next day.

Then try the "next day" button above the STN - DUB section (the bottom section).
This works but will only move the bottom section flights to the next day leaving the top sections (DUB - STN) flights on the previous day.

If you then try the "next day" button above the top section again this then allows the DUB - STN flights to move to the next day which eventually allows you to view the whole outbound and return flights for the next day.

..... is this not a very long winded way to get to the next day of timetables?
Or does this seem just a problem with my computer? I know that it used to move both outbound and return flights to the next day just by clicking the top sections "next day" button.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Sorry its difficult to describe.

This is presumably to stop your outbound flight being later than your return flight

I think you have misunderstood. If you actually go onto the site and try you will see my point..

What used to happen once you pressed the top "next day" button, was that the timetable would move both outbound and return flights to the next day.

Now you have to move return flights to the next day, before you can move the outbound flights to the next day, which made me ask is this a mistake?

Don't ever remember it doing that as that would be assumming that you stay in a particualr place was always going to be the same length. Always changed the outbound/inbound separately.

I do not know how it is in other countries, but in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other countries under the influence of the german marketing team they usually do their press conferences at Airport Conference Centers / Rooms (Lübeck, Weeze) or in "Premium-Hotels" in the "main" city the airport is connected to (Frankfurt, Vienna, Hamburg... Hilton, Four Seasons, ...)
Even their shareholder meetings are not in Fair-Centers like some other well known bluechips do but in Hiltons, FourSeasons and so on...

Racedo
I can see what you mean, but i am absolutely positive that if you were looking for outbound and return flights the same day, say a Monday and then you decided to look at the flights outbound and return the next day,the Tuesday then you just had to press the one button to look at the next days timetable. You were also able to do what you said, which is move them separately to find return flights on a different day than the outbound flights, but this seems all you can do now.

Concerning Bratislava Airport, it's a bit awkward situation this time. While the airport is "connected" to the capital city of Slovakia (it's the main airport of a biggest town there), the press conference was held in Vienna, thus in the hotel located on the territory of... another European country. Waiting for the press conference in, say, Astoria Hotel, St Petersburg, Russia, concerning flights to the... Finnish-Russian border.

In Vienna, FR's marketing manager Anja Seugling was cited saying:
Bisher kommen davon nur etwa 30 bis 40 Prozent aus Österreich. Hier gebe es noch Potenzial, das gehoben werden soll, sagte Seugling. Das Problem sei - trotz Shuttle-Bus - nach wie vor die Anbindung des Flughafens mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. An dem Thema werde in Gesprächen mit den Flughafenbetreibern gearbeitet.
Only 30-40% of all BTS passengers come from Austria. There is still much potential to improve. Better public transport links are required, the issue will be discussed with the airport.

Ryanair stands firm on baggage allowance
Heavily relying on all kind of ancillary revenues itself, Ryanair expected the airports to do the same (and keep lowering fees). While some of FR airports have never been profitable, others have entered a phase of unprofitability already last year. With these new regulations, it's easy to predict more troubles, the partnership with airports could worsen significantly. Where is the logic?

The logic EU appears to be the fact that a small minority of pax take the mikey by bringing everything in bar the kitchen sink!

I have seen hundreds of times pax getting on board with 3+ bags and then getting all angry when there is no space for their precious stuff! Unfortunately a small minority have spoiled it for the rest of us! The rules are fairly simple and fair, one bag per person (size permitting) you have more/ bigger bags check em in and pay. Thats the rules don't like it don't fly simple.
