Just out of interest, when they say that luggage will only be put in the hold when the cabin lockers are full, does this mean ,those unlucky enough to get on the plane first will get charged or will it be free, and will this have a knock on effect on turnaround times?
More talk of a base at Barcelona El Prat, and even how Ryanair would consider the route BCN - MAD (that could keep a couple of aircraft busy every day if they were gonna go at it with high frequncies).
What is interesting at the moment is that if you look to book from LGW there is a BAR in the drop down box which opens a window and defaults to Gerona BUT maybe planning something here.

I assume if the rule of strictly of one piece of hand baggage is enforced then there will room in the over head bins even on a full aircraft where all pax carry on one item?
Flew FR MRS-DUB on Monday 22nd. Priority boarding with family. Polite crew, smiling, as good as you get with others who charge three times the price. Couldn't fault it and a great price.

I'm saying the only one whining on about it is Ducksy & Co,
why doesn't he absorb the €10 tax by waiving his online check in fee, or his "optional" CC fee or his "optional" handling fee, or his "optional" baggage fee etc etc.......
people that have to travel will pay the tax people that want to travel will pay the tax
Good call......
We might even get a meaningful discussion now.......
Thanks for that......

While going against the herd may result in higher risks, it can also (sometimes) produce spectacular returns. The accepted wisdom as applicable to a crowd is not always correct when applied to an individual.
"The recession is bad for companies"
"The recession is great if you are an accountantcy firm specialising in insolvency"
In the case of Ryanair, outside spectators may have the benefit of an independent viewpoint, they are also at a disadvantage in that they do not have the same amount of information as those actually running the company.

This year FR will order (incl. optins) up to 300 a/c, said MOL a German newspaper. By 2017 FR will transport 150m passengers.

What they'll print - looks like the poster has made a comment at the bottom to put it straight!
It was recently revealed that Ryanair are planning to charge passengers to use the plane toilets in the future.
Planes would also have one loo, instead of the current three, with six extra passenger seats*.
*It is currently not possible for the airline to add more seats to the aircraft as mentioned above. The authorities have given the aircraft a maximum seating of 189 which is the current number on any Ryanair aircraft.

FR Winter 09/10 at STN
Hi,
I think it might be a little bit early to say for sure which routes will be dropped over the winter. Many airlines are still trying to work out how much they need to cut in order to survive another difficult winter. We should have a clearer picture by September.
Last winter Pula, Zadar, Almeria, Angouleme, Rodez, Toulon and Newquay all went into hibernation.
It looks as though discussions are still on going over Zweibrucken (article in German): Ryanair denkt über Rückzug aus Zweibrücken nach - DMM Der Mobilitätsmanager: Mehr Effizienz bei Geschäftsreise, Firmenwagen, Veranstaltung
STN-PMO is currently not bookable for the winter either.
It has been known for routes to disappear from the booking engine and then appear again. Cynics might suggest that it could be a Ryanair tactic to get a little bit of extra "help" from regional airports.
