738 Deliveries
Does anybody know the number of 738's that are due to be received to the fleet this summer, or over the next few months?
In addition, does anybody know how many of the original 738s are due to leave the fleet.
It would seem that all new bases of late are getting 2 738s ( mostly) so when does BHD get #2?
And if we made an assumption that new bases will be gettting 2 738s how many new bases do we expect to be announced over the next few months?

Why hope that he is losing his touch?? The man may not be an ideal dinner partner but he has kept a lot of aviators in a job and provided a huge increase in the number of routes as part of a rapid expansion in air travel. Don't bite the hand that feeds??? (Retreats behind parapet)

2008 738's
EI-BUD
I read somewhere it was 42 in and 15 out leaving 27 net for 2008.
However things can change quickly.
Jethros might have the exact figures but not sure.

Fleet data

Jethros has precise and well informed data on all UK and Irish airlines. Including delivery dates for new aircraft and planned withdrawal for existing fleet on the way out.
Check Ryanair existing and on order fleets for your answers...

FR has just added several new flights from STN to many Polish destinations (already served, like Szczecin, Rzeszow, Lodz, Wroclaw - beginning end March). LFs are good, so why not? There is, however, something strange about that; the turnaround times of these new flights. E.g. in Poznan it'll be as much as 125 minutes, in Bydgoszcz even more. What's up? No slots at Stansted?

Polish capacity increases
@eu01 - thanks for pointing that out.
The increases have been a long time coming. The Polish routes have been amongst the highest loads from STN for at least a year now.
By my reckoning, the new schedules give a 23% increase in capacity on STN-Poland, which should be just in time to carry waves of Poles back home, now that wages have increased there and economic conditions aren't looking as great here.
BZG goes to 10 per week (+3), LCJ to 9 (+2), POZ to 9 (+2), RZE to 10 (+3), WRO to 12 (+2) and SZZ to 7 (+3 ... SZZ started daily back in Oct 05, but was reduced after being the weakest Polish route). GDN and KRK look as though they are unchanged. Total +15 flights per week.
I wouldn't read too much into the turnaround times - Ryanair usually manage to mess up their schedules when they're first released, before correcting them later ... usually after reading about the mistakes on PPRuNe (!)

It's currently at 16.00, long before the final whistle has blown!
Their winter schedule was also like that before they corrected it.

So far, Ryanair has started just one route directly to Warsaw, from Dublin. But, as "polskatimes" writes "just that one route costed Lot (Polish Airlines) appr. 8 million zlotys (€ 2.25 mln.)
Really? Not a long time ago we've heard: "Low cost carriers are not any serious competitors for the legacy airlines".

Stepdaughter's boyfriend got cancelled out of Leeds last night with fog - no issues there or even with the fact he had no where to spend the night - he had a cheap fare and they are chances you take.
However they offered him tonights flight to Dublin FREE transfer - but charged him £50 to go on the morning flight. No logic there as on Ryanair website, pax canx out of Stansted were offered a free transfer to a flight of their choice.
I think he should go after Ryanair for a refund (they then charged him checkin desk fee charge today despite fact he had priority boarding last night) - I expect the usual get lost initial reply - can anyone give me tips (PM me if more appropriate) on what he needs to do to get this refund. He's only a student so cant afford it and their logic on this one seems totally flawed!
Weirder fact is despite being told flight CANX - Leeds Bradford website airport showed flight as leaving and DUblin airport website showed it as landing
Thanks for any help offered

FR at Leeds
johnref
acarsd shows EI-DWX operated FR156 into Leeds last night and out again
as FR15N, which I assume was the FR157. If this was his flight then it operated but I have no idea of the Leeds schedule. The messages were timed 20.56 and 22.34.
Sounds as if he missed a shiny new 738

Thats the weird bit
Thanks for the info OltonPete. Now I'm even more confused.
He arrived at 7pm after online checkin - when he got to security they scanned and said 'hold on' - checked with a colleague and told him they thought it was cancelled! He went to ticket desk and they told him it was canx and then charged him for a rebooking. He had been sent out of airport by 7.15.
We were sitting in Ireland seeing it on dispays as running.
Sounds like total confusion in Leeds Bradford last night!

Ryanair Luvvs You!
Ryanair loves you, people, but everyone in a slightly different way...
Let's look at the FR news (UK version)
And the UK banner: "1 MILLION 1 p FLIGHTS. No hidden charges. Book from Tuesday"
But for Spain: "2 MILLION seats from 10 euros. No hidden charges. Book from Tuesday!"
The same for Italy, for Germany and France, however just: "1 MILLION seats from 10 euros."
For Hungarians it is 2500 forints, for Latvians 7 Lats.
For Sweden and Norwegians the offer is 80 krones, for Danish and Czechs just "Don't book with High Fare Airlines this weekend".
What slightly amuses me, is the currency exchange rate:
1 UK pence equals to 10 euros, 80 Swedish krones, 2500 Hungarian forints 
Let's look at the FR news (UK version)
Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (22nd Feb) advised passengers not to get fleeced by the high fare airlines while the Ryanair.com booking system closes this weekend, as Ryanair.com will be back again on Monday evening to guarantee the lowest fares and on Tuesday, we will give away 1 million seats for 1p (including taxes and airport charges).

Ryanair and the OFT
Here is a link to the telegraph which is reporting on Ryanair being forced to show all taxes in its advertised prices by the OFT.....ie no more 1p flights etc.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/74...lights%27.html
As a result their website has the booking function disabled. However If you visit th website there is quite an interesting and amusing banner, saying that there is going to be millions more 1p flights available after the weekend, and urging people not to book with the "high fare" airlines!! Pos a wee hint of desperation??

this weekend we’re so sure that we’re the cheapest place on the internet to book flights, that if you find it cheaper elsewhere, we’ll refund you triple the difference1.
This guarantee is only valid until midnight on Monday 25 February so hurry book now!

Germanwings are launching its campaign too. Book from now till Sun at midnight and fly for free*. And the star means... "taxes, charges and passenger-related fees range from € 19,78 to a maximum of € 53,39 are not included in the price and must be paid in addition". What? Bad boys becoming good boys just to let the other bad boys in?

The Easyjet "guarantee" is a complete con.
It's a sale that includes the weekend but the small print says that if you find the fare cheaper on flights between the same points within an hour of the same flight times within an hour of making the booking you can claim the difference. The problem is that you can only claim between 9-5 Mon-Fri and they have to be able to find the same offer themselves!!! How the hell are they going to do that over the weekend when you can only claim between 9-5 Mon-Fri??
Bunch of rip-off artists
