And they've announced another seat sale...
...I'd still love to know where I can get a Visa Electron card in Ireland (and no, I'm not interested in opening a bank account in Spain).

For those interested in the "truthful answer", you can't actually get one in the republic...

The message says that the flights will be cancelled for the period from 01/09/09 - 24/10/09. After 24/10/2009 the flights are not bookable any more.

Yeah...
The NRN-TRN route seems to get axed as of 30th August.
Now it's a 2xweek (--3---7) and it was initially scheduled as a 4xweek route for the fall/winter (1-3--67)
What a shame...

The full story isn't up as yet as it says more follows.
40% is a hell of a cut

O'Leary is putting the blame on airport and passenger duty charges. This is a bit rich from the master of spurious charges and taxes himself, ten quid to book by credit card? And don't get me started on Visa Electron cards, if everyone had one then that freebie would disappear 'toute suite'.

The airline operated 40 aircraft from Stansted in the summer but said this would fall to 24 this winter.
According to their own press release this time last year - Ryanair - News : Ryanair Unveils 14% Capacity Reductions that number was 28 ... still a capacity drop .. but a long way off 40%

The devil, or lack of, is in the detail - it is effectively the same cut as last year, just presented in a more hard edged manner to grab column inches.
Based aircraft down 40% but capacity down 30% - equal to 28 based aircraft - so exactly the same as last year then. Expect more rotations performed by aircraft from elsewhere, using availability freed up by seasonal destination cuts from aircraft based in those locations. Possibly a few extra routes cut for the winter compared to last year, but increased services from other destinations to take their place such as the recently announced Rygge.

Aisle2c - expect the cuts to come from destinations with little winter demand - so the likes of Rimini, Pula, perhaps a few French destinations nowhere near the ski resorts, and from frequency cuts to other destinations. Again, the same as last year. There may be the odd few extra rotations to the likes of Tenerife, and Salzburg, Turin etc once the ski season starts.

You know, the more I read Ryanair press releases the more irritated I get -- at Ryanair. The worlds favourite airline? By number of passengers, perhaps - but how many of those have a choice?
It's probably just as well I don't run one of these major airports. If I did I'd be tempted to charge extra fees for handling Ryanair aircraft.
