"Find lowest fares" has disappeared on the new site.
The booking engine is now showing "Service unavailable".
Maybe overloaded by a stampede of people booking flights for tomorrow and Tuesday etc. etc.

To find lowest fares select "Book Now" option on top of home page and then tick
"my travel dates are flexible"

Well, last Thursday I booked a couple of returns from STN to LEI in April. Just checked tonight and it is 55 quid dearer.

PPRuNe does Ryanair's testing for them again?

Dear Ryanair,

The following routes have all popped up in your booking engine. You might want to keep them under wraps until the official announcements:
PIK-GRX
CIA-BRQ
HHN-GRZ, SXF
EDI-SXF, BLL, BOH, BTS, NRN, KRK, LCJ, AGP, PMI, NYO, WRO
CRL-PMI
MRS-BVA
+ New Destination: Schedule Test (I hear it's nice there)
+ loads of old routes that have were dropped ages ago

What an absolute mess. The layout on their website is a shambles, they still display the fares excl. taxes and charges, with a sort of pop-up box once a flight is selected which shows the full fare calculation. Why oh why couldn't they just show the one-way fare as the full price?

Profit warnings, OFT investigations, successfully sued by president of France, website down for several days, new site a shambles, rising fuel prices, ridiculously misleading marketing campaign, ...

Is the Ryanair/O'Leary bubble bursting?

I think not. Oh, why cannot there be a Cork-Beauvais secretly hiding away in the booking engine!

Grrr

But sure don't ye have SNN-BVA only up the road from yourselves if the EI fares get too much for you

But I have to agree that its unfortunate to see that the Ryanair site , particularly in regard to flight pricing is still as higgilly-piggly as ever!

So much for improvements, the site is painfully slow today. Of course this could be caused by a huge booking demand after the shutdown.

I like the new 'Manage my booking' feature. You can now add bags, infants, sports equipment and musical instruments on the site rather that calling up or at the airport.

A communication error occurred: "Connection refused"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
A foretaste?

It's certainly too early to draw any conclusions, but the new website is... a meagre one. And it COULD turn out to be slower than its predecessor. Although I do not work as a programmer, I've made some intensive C++ and php programming in my career, so (not to be hasty) I'll be very reserved at present. There are already some issues to be pointed out, but let's wait at least until tomorrow...

isnt this a whole new res system though? hopefully its a website issue and not a res system database issue!

i would hope their operational guys and girls can get their PNLs and dispatch processes sorted out, knowing FR all that will be paper based anyway.

Compare Fares

Booking a month in advance, with one check in bag, and checking in at airport.
Glasgow to London 20th March 2008 (chosen at random):

Ryanair: £43.23 STD 1015z (Fare £9.99 Tax £18.33 Baggage £9.00 Ins £5.91)

Easyjet: £33. 98 STD 0915z (Fare £9.00 Tax 15.00 Baggage £3.99 Ins £5.00)

BA: £41.60 STD 1030z (Fare £11.00 Tax £30.60 Ins inc)

The prices are all getting rather close....I know who I'd rather fly with.

Online check in still not working?

Is anyone having problems checking in online? I'm due to fly from Prestwick to Stansted tomorrow and I still can't check in online. I phoned Prestwick Airport and was told that to check in at the airport is free up until 11pm tonight after that it is £3 each way. However, if after 11pm it was not possible to check in online I was told to print off any on screen message and to bring it with me to the airport and I wouldn't be charged.
