Non-EU pax using airport check in can apply for a refund for the charge to FR. And they do actually get it re-charged to the card they book with - have spoken to quite a few people who do this regularly.

how long have fr got to wait before they can launch competing routes with established airlines at bhx? I thought that was one of the conditions in the base launch. If so, would be great to see a BHX - EDI and PIK, the midlands/scotland could do with reliable links at reasonable prices.

Ryanair @ BHX
None of these routes are in the drop down destination box on FR website as of yet, i'm not sure of the agreement between BHX and FR but they have 'been allowed' to start MRS and BTS both of which have airlines serving them already. I doubt FR would have agreed to a full blown BHX base if they can only fly to places not already served by existing carriers. Question is is there really enough demand for three airlines to AGP, ALC etc??

how many airlines does anyone think will be suffering due to fr's expansion at bhx. My opinion is, as mentioned ( in a prev title ) bmibaby easyjet might reduce their flights ( as in destinations )or even pack up, possibly tcx and tom might reduce flights or even start a price war against fr, i guess it wont be long before we find out. As for smaller airlines i.e aer arren, eastern i dont think i'll be holding my breath if fr starts flights to same destinations in uk and ireland

Only heard a summary from Weeze. MOL went on about high fuel prices and that Weeze-Berlin is not on the cards for the moment. Will not invest more in Weeze until problems with landing after official hours is sorted.
