ryanair tenerife

anyone notice how ryanair are using the northern airport on this island, wonder if they'l start calling it 'canaries central'?

On a more serious note , would a 4 hour flight be at all pleasent on one of their planes, with the lack of any kind of IFE, was contemplating it, can just bout manage 2 1/2 to spain with bmi baby/jet2 .

why does life revolve around the TV????? You don't need inflight entertainment on a flight. we take the train on long journeys - no entertainment of any sort . the car - no entertainment, so why a plane??



What are FR doing about the liquids problem for crew??? They have to supply their own water on board. so what is being done for them as they can not take anymore than 100ml????

I do take a book thanks bob! Was just asking a simple question , due to the amount of backlash and complaints that Ryanair rightly or wrongly gets, through not only these pages. Sorry i should have made the question simpler..

will it be more unpleasent flying 4 hours with ryanair than say monarch or ba/First choice etc...(obviously ik know that you'll pay more with the others)

Not having flown Ryanair for longer than an hour(blk-stn although no more!! ) i cant comment, but having flown with several different airlines some seem to be certainly better than others at customer care in the air, book or no book 4 hours couped in in a tube is a long time, so b4 anyone sayim not a ryanair basher, on say that i would never fly Thomson long haul for a holiday...service was cr, on other hand the short haul service last month to agp was excellent.....

When flying from Dub down there most airlines like EI and Futura dont have anything to watch on board and they have been doing it for years.

Dear NB, there is no reason for FR to discontinue this route. There were some drops in LF's in between, but now the situation is back on track and the route has been profitable.
Nevertheless, it's justified to admit that FR has made some miscalculations concerning Finland. Firstly, Finland is "pathologically" democratic country. One cannot count on any official preferencies at the airports, so certainly FR hasn't been able to get any discounts and alike. If MOL wants to wait for a special treatment, he'll disappoint. But at the same time, from the point of view of low-cost carriers Finland is still very low-penetrated country and certainly the not-yet-developed market exists here. Ryanair just should have concentrated on the North-to-South routes, as these are extremely attractive for sunshine-starving private clients, not on the connections like LPL-TMP, as the corporate customers will always prefer their domestic AY. Spain, Italy, Berlin, Paris or Marseille would enjoy much more esteem. Likewise, I can envisage the remarkable popularity of a newly announced TMP-BGY route, a step in the right direction (in spite of the unfortunate flight hours).

thanks for your reply pee, yes i heard that The load factor was down at one time so i was just a bit concerned.

I have to say i am glad ryanair do that route from STN-TMP because you have to pay alot of money to go with blue1 and Finnair, or you have to use Air berlin and have to connect at dusseldorf or berlin

Ryanair likely to establish three bases in Poland

Polish press gives us some hints about the future FR's plans in Poland:
Ryanair, the Irish low-cost carrier, wants to build three bases and not one, as originally planned, for its aircraft in Poland.

Well-placed sources say the company is currently in talks with all airports to select the most suitable ones. Modlin, Kraków and Wrocław are reportedly the favorites to host the bases. Ryanair is already the biggest carrier at Kraków airport, and unlike Modlin or Wrocław, opening a base there would not require a greenfield investment, as the airport recently completed building a brand new terminal and depots. Kamil Kamiński, the CEO of Kraków airport, admits he is in intensive talks with Ryanair, but declined to reveal any details. The airport is also negotiating with other carriers, and any final decision is still many months away. WizzAir, one of Ryanair's main competitors, has also decided to locate [next] base in Poland.

Two or three announcements are certainly pending. Some of the possible places are Madrid, Brussels Charleroi and Stockholm Skavsta. Concerning NYO, the Maltese press has been trumpeting for half a month now about a new FR connection twice a week to Stockholm (NYO-MLA-NYO) that will commence end October, just an official announcement is missing.

I was just wondering why there are no flights to the South East of Germany and most of Eastern France?

Is there no market in these regions? There is definately Munich, don't know of anywhere in France though.

South East? They fly to Leipzig, but if you mean Bavaria... well, they'd love to, but MUC is just too expensive for them. There are some other potential destinations in the region they have been negotiating, not yet agreed. Try flying to Salzburg instead (good rail connection to Munich) or take easyJet.
FR used to fly to Strasbourg in Eastern France until 2003, but Air France protested claiming that Ryanair's aid had given it an unfair advantage and won the administrative court ruling that the aid it received was illegal. After that Ryanair had to halt its service to Strasbourg with four weeks' notice.
