If you have not ceased reading this thread yet may I offer the following?

Not one of you knows me in any way, you don't know what my "ambitions" are in life or anything about what I want to do in the future.
You were the one who stated your ambitions. At some length as I remember. You may draw some comfort from this (almost) 56yo whose ambitions have gone through a continual process of revision since childhood. A pre-requisite of this is to outgrow childhood.

I wonder what any member of a cabin crew would think to that remark to just serve coffee. I know there are arrogant people out there - but that is the epitome.
You are quite right, they do not only serve coffee, there are crisps, sandwiches, scratch cards and all manner of ridiculously over-priced goodies. They also have a flight safety function that many pax don't see.
The epitome of what? For there to be an epitome it must be either a summary or embodiment of something, see Epitome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As for arrogance. Did you not demonstrate this in your original post? You may be of the opinion that RYR will cleave Jet2 asunder by moving into LBA, I am not convinced. Who pulled out of BLK? By postulating that RYR should display the slogan you suggested demonstrates a greater arrogance than any post I have read since.

I will not be returning on this forum, outrageous remarks and such a high level of arrogance shown. Quite clearly shows what the general rule is here...
Fair enough, far from ourageous and I've covered arrogance. Ta ta.

If all you have to do in the day is take the p*** out of other people, then you all need to get out more and most certainly get a life.
All that people on here do with their free time is pursue their interest in aviation from whichever direction, those people coming from varying backgrounds but I have only seen 1 case of someone whose aim is to take the P, and then he was knocked down quickly. My experience is that only ridiculous statements that demonstrate a certain unworldliness or arrogance will get jumped on so I suggest that you need to get out more and most certainly get a life.

No need for thanks for the advice.

This route was launched when Ryanair first opened their Bristol base, however it has since been axed. It's a frequent occurrence with Ryanair that axed routes appear in online check in for some time after they end.

Go via "Book Now" and try. You'll see Tampere - Liverpool route, try to go ahead:
Going Out From Tampere - Liverpool
« Previous Week Next Week »
Sorry, there are no available flights departing on the 23 Aug - 29 Aug
This may be because:
The flight you have chosen is full
The route selected has not yet commenced operation
In fact this route has been discontinued in May 2007. Some cleaning necessary?

There maybe another reason why routes are still on the system after being withdrawn, it can be a way of judging just how much interest there is in it for reintroduction.

Question ELECTRON cards

Is there any way to pay Ryan Air in GBP when booking a trip that does not originate in the UK?

I want to pay by Electron (to save fees) but if the transaction is presented to my bank in Euro then they will charge me!

In my experience, Ryanair has always converted fares in euro to sterling without asking if this was my preference and as a result a sterling amount appears on my card statement. (There have been times when I would have preferred to have my card issuer do the conversion rather than Ryanair.)

My understanding is that the customer should be given the choice.

Does the choice of currency exchange rate give Ryanair the chance to boost ancillary revenues ?

I just booked flight for us to go to UK for Christmas (amazed how cheap the return on 28 Dec. was as this is top peak for most airlines).

I paid with a UK VISA Electron card and the web site came up with a message which said ... if the card currency is different to tthe billed currency then click HERE to see how much you will be charged. This implies to me that they are going to charge me in GBP as it is a UK card.

BTW - the link to check the amount did not work (in Mozilla Firefox) but presumebly they have a standard Xrate so I am sure I did not lose out.

The forum is here to discuss the general corporate business of Airlines and Airports. It is not here to discuss Xmas bookings. Contributors' that require credit card information need to contact their travel agency. There is a regulation "sticky" at the top of the forum that explains the situation.

Any contribution the moderators see as stepping outside the gidelines risks deletion.

Thank you.

I think BHD - SNN could work maybe 3 or 4 times a week to start with to gauge demand and step up to daily. Would have to be operated by a SNN based aircraft though as BHD still has only one based aircraft. If anyone could make it work, FR could.

The Maltese authorities are in discussions with Ryanair with regard to a base. The Malta Independent Online publishes a detailed route analysis based on the routes suggested by Ryanair (in May). The destinations considered are BOH, STN, BHX, CRL, BVA, MRS, KRK, numerous Spanish and Italian airports as well as some new countries like Tunisia, Turkey and Israel.

We have been down this road before, I think there will be more services added to Malta from existing bases before they setup there.

Flight Cancellations

I notice on the Ryanair website some flight cancellations due to fog at Stansted, Beauvais and Treviso. How come the Belfast flight was the only flight cancelled from Stansted at 8.15 on the morning of the 14th?

Surely, if weather was an issue in Stansted that day there would have been a number of flights cancelled? Is it possible all other flights were just delays or am I being to cynical and thinking they are falsely reporting it as weather when it was actually something else?

I saw this and at first thought the fog might not have been at Stansted but at Belfast City but as no flights were cancelled at the latter it remains a mystery to me and I, too, would like to know why only one flight at STN was cancelled.

I have the perception that to maintain operational integrity (in the sense of having a reduced knock-on impact on punctuality) Ryanair seems to prefer to cancel flights rather than fly them with delays. This is certainly bad for travellers on these flights but presumably schedules return to normal more quickly.

(I should have written "sometimes seems to prefer"; I recall delays of approximately one hour during the French ATC "go slow" last year when passengers were boarded and had to remain on the aircraft.)
