I always grin at the question
"could anybody have tampered with/put something in your luggage without you knowing about it....?"
I've just realised how daft this question is. I wonder what would happen if I said, "well how the hell do I know?"
"Yes" is technically the correct answer unless you've taken your case to bed with you on the night before the flight and you're a light sleeper...

Racedo -
I don't recall mentioning BUYING anything. I conveyed the property of a third party from Manchester to Pisa at their request and answered the security question as put to me (ie. not your rephrased alternative) with the only conceivable honest answer - period. You are extremely arrogant to presume that you can interpret events at which you were not present better than the people who were actually there. Are you quite deluded? I fully understand the question which I was asked (thankyou very much) and there were only two possible answers: YES (true in this case), NO (untrue in this case). So I answered yes. Now just what is your problem with that? Do you have a mission in life to promote dishonesty and the misleading of security staff? Or is it just that you are an expert in everything, including conversations/events at which you were not present?
SHED.

So Ryanair beefing up their present in Oslo Torp and also introducing Oslo Rygge. Interesting.
Don't think they are going to be bases though...

all the routes from Rygge are current bases so probably free capacity there. Two of the routes from torp tho Lodz(3/7) & Krakow(4/7) arent bases .
Any idea where this W pattern is going to originate from?
Also with such a large number of routes why not base at Torp?

Is operating a handful of routes from Rygge meant to be a spoiler against Norwegian, similiar to the Ryanair base at Madrid acting as a spoiler against Easyjet ?
Norwegian announced good profits earlier this week - perhaps it's time for MOL to make life a little more difficult for them ?

Is Barcelona (BAR) new in the booking engine? If you select BAR it says choose Reus or Girona!
Picked that one up couple of weeks ago and not sure what idea is but could mean BCN may come on in near future.

Torp
I have checked the Torp schedules to see how the LCJ & KRK
work but obviously some more changes needed.
LCJ is operated as a "W" from Torp and Krakow is operated as
if it was Krakow based but I could not find where the Krakow
aircraft originates from to do the Torp (unless I have missed
something).
However the one thing I did notice was that BHX-TRF is no longer
on sale for winter following BHX-NYO, BLQ and OPO.
The difference here is that BHX-TRF has had awful load factors
lin the main and it should not really be a surprise if it has gone.

A simple marketing trick, to get more customers. "You don't fly to Barcelona?!" "Sure we do - pick the airport!" Nobody wants to go to Gerona. Everyone is looking for Barca.And, well, a usability improvement to the website, after all. If they were to show the flights for both - Gerona and Reus in the same screen, to let me pick the cheapest one - it would work even better. For me, ofc, not them.

Torp W's
For now those Torp W's are an enigma....
Torp - Beauvais - Torp
1-3-5-- 0915 - 1340 (aircraft then flies from Torp to Home base @ 1405)
------7 1635 - 2100 (aircraft then flies from Torp to Home base @ 2125)
Beauvais - Torp - Beauvais
-2-4-6- 1800 - 2225 (aircraft then flies from Beauvais to Home base @ 2250 !!!)
Torp - Lodz - Torp
-2-4-6- 1745 - 2110 (aircraft then flies from Torp to Home base @ 2135)
Krakow - Torp - Krakow
1-3-5-7 1745 - 2130 (aircraft then flies from Krakow to Home base @ 2155 !!)
With these times I think we could be looking at a base in Beauvais and a base in Krakow. A plane taking off at 2250 at Beauvais could really only be going to a base in the GMT time zone (UK or Ireland). Similary, a plane taking off a 2155 from Krakow is either making a very small hop (Weeze), or else going to the UK or Ireland.

This morning in Irish Times:
And indeed, the MOL's anti-protectionism policy did change a lot on the European skies. But don't tell me Ms. Kross is Ryanair's worst enemy. The possible harm to them could result from their own policies rather and not due to the commissioner's decision. Just keep telling people about fee-loos and ‘vertical seating’... laughing is healthy, but they laugh at you.
The EU competition commissioner Neelie Kroes is no pushover. Nicknamed “Nickel Neelie” by the media which compares her rise in politics to that of former British prime minister “iron lady” Margaret Thatcher, she has taken on some of the biggest beasts in business and politics and won the day. Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has suffered the indignity of seeing the 67-year-old Dutch competition commissioner block his proposed takeover of Aer Lingus.
(...)
“It was an unacceptable deal that he placed on the table; there is no doubt about that. But I was also aware that I was facing a guy who had broken up a protected air policy in Europe. So on the one hand I had great respect for what he had done for Europe and for consumers,” says Kroes, who adds that it is possible that changing circumstances would enable a merger between the two Irish airlines to go ahead some time in the future.

New routes from Lille?
Rumours or maybe not...
It seems like Lille will have at least 2 or 3 new routes.
Announcement this week, aparently to Rome Ciampino, Girona and, as i already antecipated here, Porto.

ASFKAP - you work for us right?! How else do you manage an airline with 190 aircraft and airports that don't co-operate... no need for fancy negotiating. Just give it to us cheap or don't bother.
