Stansted - Man was operated recently witha J41 fom Eastern with decent times 3 daily. The loads were nearly always single figures. And you now propose to put a 737-800 with a 180 seats on to go blasting through the skys at about 17000 ft because that is nearly about as high as you would go on such a short hop, do you work in a bank by any chance in Edinburgh

On the new Irish 'Air Travel Tax'...does anyone know if Ryanair are charging this for departures on and after 30th March???
Are FR trying to make light of the noise about the pound to pee talk and joke about it, or are they actually being serious ?
The phrase 'when you are in a hole, stop digging' comes to mind here

Yet again, another PR stunt. As much as RYR probably would like to charge for everything; they simply can't.
I have however, given my suggestions - which are outrageous! But if I win €1000 I'll be very happy.
At least the staff at Ryanair can take a break laughing about the suggestions!
Also, charging to check-in? As I asked, is that allowed considering you HAVE to check-in? Which means it must be put in the advertised price. And, will the charge to take baggage rise or fall?
As it stands like this:
(Return prices quoted)
€10 to check-in
€20 to take a bag
Total €30
That is no different from when they had the desks open? Surely €10 to check-in is not fair. It should be free now that the desks have gone!
What are the suggestions on this?

As I understand it OPO came very close to being a base last Summer but then there were some political shennanigans. The way it was put to me the local government were all for it , but the central government (perhaps mindful of the possible effect on TAP ) scuppered it, & apparently their cooperation was paramount to the deal going through.
Don't know how / if that can be resolved.
"Very full brown paper bag" anyone ?

My proposal for a discretionary charge is as follows - a discretionary charge to NOT fly with Ryanair. This would be calculated as the difference between Ryanair's fare and the fare of an alternative airline, offset of course by the fact that I need to pay extra to check in, to have a pee, plus of course the taxi fares that I'd otherwise need to pay to get me from the Ryanair airstrip to the city that I actually want to travel to...

likewise, I think FR are making a mockery of safety with its' what it costs to evacuate safety card. If I was the IAA I'd come down on them like a ton of bricks but alas I'm not, so they'll continue as they are.

capt playstation, yes we all need a sense of humour in these dark days and good on FR re paying for a crap etc, but there are some boundarys one does'nt cross imho like the safety card one. Hillarous for kids just out of college humouring the bold michael but for the rest of us it's just touching cloth.

What I find amazing in the "100% web check in" press release is the assertion that this will lead to savings which will be passed on to passengers.
Now, speaking as someone who checks in online and doesn't take hold baggage all I can see is an increase of £10 per trip (except those using "promotional" fares). I'm sceptical that we'll see an identical reduction across-the-board in non-promotional fares (i.e., fares before the addition of this new fee).
