The trick is for us to get Finnair to announce a twice weekly ERJ 170 flight from Tampere to Cork and his nibs would be in like a shot with a 737!!

For what it is worth a Cork Stockholm might well work for about two months in the summer. The SAS 737-600s would be just the job. After all, Transwede did Stockholm Cork for a summer or two. It would be great to get to Scandinavia from Cork. Oh, well, I concede that is dreaming. Oh, well, never mind.

I've just a look at the link (2 posts above) of the new Ryanair routes.

Is it just me, or is it really lazy of them to refer to new flights from Barcelona Gir and London Stan'.
Also, the good folks of Cork will be delighted that they will be able to fly to Barcelona (Reu).

Maybe I'm being picky, but I thought a major player like Ryanair could make a bit more of an effort with their press releases?

Barcelona Gir and London Stan

IJM - No you're not picky it is symptomatic of the dumbing down of the English language, not helped by the contraction of words by mobile users when texting.
But there may be a more sinister ploy at work here. Gir is not Barcelona it is Girona some 92kms to the south; Stansted is not London and is a similar distance from the capital. I am sure some travellers think they are actually going to the first named cities only to find they are many miles away, have no knowledge of transport arrangements and probably no idea of the cost either.
Be honest RYR: it is Girona and Stansted, not Barcelona and London

Better tell Stansted then - BAA also seem to think it's called London Stansted!

Why do the Ryanair bashers keep dragging this up every few weeks? Passengers are capable of looking at a map and Ryanair show the locations of all the airports they serve on their website so it is no secret how near or far they are from city centres. If you think it is too far away, fly to Barcelona Airport with a different airline but you'll probably have to pay more. It's your choice.

Unless I have got my map upside down, Girona Airport is north of Barcelona.

According to Multimap, Stansted Airport to Charing Cross is 62Km - since when has that been similar to 92Km?

STN has a great contection to central london. I don't know why so many people come on here moaning about ryanair, just go else where, your not wanted on this forum. At end of the day ryanair has some 40 a/c based at STN in the summer, so it cant be doing that bad.

As others have pointed out...

Stansted = Essex
Luton = Bedfordshire
Gatwick = Surrey/Sussex
Heathrow = Middlesex

London City = WOW LONDON!!!!

Quick call the Lord Mayor of London! Something seriously went wrong there!

Someone quickly lay some 2000 odd metres of tarmac near Trafalgar Square! Better still just use the Strand! The BAA may like that idea seeing it's a recipe for a pre made airport (tarmac + shops + hotel = Airport for London)! Pure Genius!!! I'm in the wrong job obviously!

Essex, Sussex, Middlesex, Bedfordshire

No, I'm not an erotomaniac at all. It just looks a bit strange (from overseas)

Sorry for off-topic.

If we are getting all traditional and saying Heathrow is Middlesex , then London City is Essex .

Erm yeah this is getting slightly off topic but... London City is Essex??? Think you'll find it's E16 which is Canning Town in London and part of the London borough of Newham. Trust me I lived there once.

As you lived there you will know Canning Town and Newham are originally Essex , as Heathrow was Middlesex . The 1965 boundary changes changed all that .

London City opened 1987 so it's true to say it is and always has been a true London Airport. I think it's fair to say people are refering to today...

Anyhow on with the RYANAIR thread I guess

I've used the links STN to Central London many times, and bearing in mind the distance, I would say they are "OK" rather than "great". Other London Airports have faster rail links to Central London - eg. Gatwick and Heathrow - but its a matter of opinion, and largely depends on where your final destination is.

(and yes - I do know that the airport links use different London terminii, and the Heathrow Express is (I recall) a bit pricier than the other services)

Don't be so sensitive about people moaning about Ryanair, other airlines have also been getting it in the neck on this forum.

I have no intention of "going elsewhere", and only the mods will decide if I'm not wanted or not. If this forum was only populated by Ryanair fans, then it would be a lot duller in any case.

Back to "FR routes" then.

The schedule changes and route cancellations continue. At the end of March the Alicante - Friedrichshafen route will be terminated. One month later also the STN-FDH connection will cease to exist and Friedrichshafen airport will be removed from Ryanair's destination list.

I have seen several times already flights disappearing from the sales system from some date in the future and then reappearing a few days later again (sometimes even in stages - one day you see April flights again, the next day May and later dates reappear). So you no longer can be sure wether some route is really terminating or just the schedule is being reshufled again.

When anyone brings up the "Ryanair-flies-to-airports-miles-from-anywhere" issue, I just mention Rome: Ciampino - 12km; Fiumicino - 30km.
