I am TRYING my best to check in online for a flight I have to Spain in a few days time. All I keep getting is a blank page. Luckily I have already done it but you cannot even enter your 'advanced passenger information' as you keep getting sent to a dead link. I still have time to do the online check in but for passengers flying today they will be really annoyed.

Please excuse my ignorance but how can RE stay on Dublin-Cork when they are the ones with the smaller planes aka less seats....
I thought that was how it worked - surely FR are making more than RE with their 189 seater 738s vs the 70 seater AT7s of RE?

Aer Arann's fares were very high before Ryanair came on the route. If Ryanair were to leave the route, Aer Arann will simply reverse to catering for business traffic leaving the shoppers, concert goers, sports fans etc to go back to the buses and trains.
At least if Ryanair win this battle they will continue to provide some low fares on the route. Incidentally Ryanair's load factors held up throughout Jan and Feb while Aer Arann's fell back slightly.

Not a shareholder myself, but is the Ryanair's good fortune ending?
Airlines were a key focus among broker recommendations. Goldman Sachs removed Ryanair from the 'Conviction Buy List'.
And Credit Suisse initiated coverage of easyJet with an 'outperform' rating and 445 pence price target and Ryanair with a 'neutral' rating and 2.8 euros target. Ryanair shares fell 1.07 percent, while easyjet shares were up 1.45 percent.

I fly PIK - BVA about once per month and it is wrong to assume that everyone flying wants to end up in the major city hubs. I and many of my fellow pax on these flights are not heading into Paris and the thought of having to battle our way through CDG fills me with dread. If you add up the time taken to clear through Beauvais (fast) and transfer on the shuttle bus to Porte Maillot (cheap and efficient), you will find that you had reached the centre of Paris far more quickly than had you flown into CDG.

Just to follow up my online checkin problem from before...
I turned up at Stansted an hour before the flight and went straight to the empty check-in desk for the flight. The man could not have been more helpful, and while he said my online boarding pass (with wrong expiry date and nationality) would probably have been fine, he gave me a "reissue" boarding pass anyway. On the way back at Belfast, I just used the online boarding pass and it was accepted without comment.
I wonder if things will be sorted out in time for my next online check-in next month!

Sitigeltfel, I have to say that I agree with you 100%! Everyone is entitled to their opinion which I respect, but for me, I would rather fly into Beauvais than Charles DeGaulle. Beauvais is small and not the prettiest airport in the world but anytime I have flown into it I am out of there in around ten minutes. I have only flown into CDG twice and hated it. It is not the easiest of airports to get around, it wass rather dirty and I spent ages waiting for my luggage. Beauvais is also next to the motorway which is rather convenient. Ryanair often gets slagged off about their choice of airports but I would rather fly into the likes of Beauvais, Ostend or Charleroi than CDG or Heathrow (try waiting there one hour for your luggage)

Girona expansion
RYANAIR ANNOUNCES MAJOR EXPANSION AT BARCELONA GIRONA
Ryanair today (2nd April) announced that it will add 5 new aircraft at its Barcelona Girona base as part of a major expansion that will increase Ryanair’s Girona routes to 75 and passenger numbers to 8m p.a. by 2012.
These 8 million passengers will save €800m compared to Iberia’s high fares and fuel surcharges at Barcelona El Prat and will generate a visitor spend of €1.2bn p.a. in the Catalan region.
Announcing today’s Girona expansion, Ryanair’s Deputy CEO Michael Cawley said;
“Ryanair started flying from Barcelona Girona, our first Spanish airport, in 2002 and the partnership has been a phenomenal success, bringing Europe’s guaranteed lowest fares to millions of Catalans and providing the region with millions of visitors from all over Europe.
“This expansion will see Ryanair’s investment at the airport rise to 14 aircraft worth $1bn. This will support 8,000 jobs in the region, including 500 highly paid Ryanair pilot, cabin crew and engineering positions.
“We congratulate the Catalan region’s success in securing this low cost agreement against robust competition from other low cost, efficient European airports which will now place business and tourism throughout Catalonia on a fast track for growth”.

Such announcements about plans for Girona or wherever else really pee me off when they are not accompanied by new routes in the booking engine
- should have invented a different one for a foreign forum perhaps.But yes, it's true. Less talking, more reforms and inventiveness - that's what Ryanair needs. Or maybe they just cannot afford to announce any new routes to prevent the website from a total agony?
The weeks in their booking system calendar are shorter again, did you notice? Seven days a week is too much to cope with!

maybe you'll finally get the Girona - Tampere route that you've been dreaming of
)... yes, I would be a good route. In spite of the harshness this carrier demonstrates, I sympathetize with Ryanair being a forerunner in the field of the budget travel and from my point of view me as a, say, "fan-in-principle", it's sometimes pity to see many missed opportunities of them. The unexistance of at least a few Southern routes out of Finland is certainly one of those issues.

Easter
Easter loads this year are abnormal, so comparison with the past year is unwise. The Easter increases in (leisure) traffic are driven by the school holidays, while everyone in the UK had the public holidays over the long weekend at Easter, many school regions elected to defer the two week holiday until the week beginning the 7th April.... ie. it has'nt happened yet!
