Ryanair - 6

[wouldhave]

Actually MAN777 its not a pleasant drive from MAN to STN. Even doing it at 2 in the morning can take 4 hrs plus. I think FR would do well on a MAN-STN routing providing they can do it at the right times.

[Curious Pax]

You must have been unlucky Wouldhave - 200 miles routing M56/M6/A14/M11 would take no more than 3 hours driving legally, which isn't far off the time you would need door to door when flying, and may be better depending on you final destination. However as soon as you try travelling anywhere near the rush hour then it does indeed become painful.

Man-stn

It's actually 3hrs 15 mins driving legally and without hold-ups. Any time of the day on these roads are peak and therefore timing unpredictable, so flying is much more convenient for a lot of people, provided the price is right.

what te chances of blk gettin extra sun routes off ryanair, holidayspots tend to do well from here, little happening with jet2, maybe a year round canary flight be great, certainly be popular, after a london flight with decent times!!!!!!!!!!!

[toledoashley]

Something odd in the booking system - Bristol to Edinburgh and Manchester!

[Wiggly Bob]

Why do Stanstead - Angouilem (?) when you already fly to La Rochelle just up the road?

Rob

[virginblue]

Why Luton if you already serve East Midlands? Why Edinburgh when Prestwick is already a base?
It is about the same distance from La Rochelle to Angouleme as from Luton to East Midlands or Edinburgh to Prestwick - 90 miles.

[Jippie]

It's a 2 hour drive, in that time I can get to 4 Ryanairports

Angouleme

This has been known by local ex-pat's for some months as it had been in the local papers. The whole Poitou-Charentes area is very popular with the British and Irish with the 2nd or 3rd largest ex-pats after Paris with nearly 20,000. Plus it is good news for me as the out-law's have a house 20 mins away.
