Also would love to see the BA passengers face when the lovely RYR cabin crew offer them a beer............at £5
According to the short item I saw on BBC News (featuring an Astraeus A320) BA will be providing the inflight catering etc. So while the FR cabin crew will be busier serving every passenger, they will at least be able to skip the time consuming bit handling the small change

BA Passengers in for a shock when they see very new aircraft instead of ones years old.

LOL, with their Bright yellow interior, no magazines, nowhere to put items infront of you, packed in like sardines with no ability to recline your seat, advertising like you are on the number 169 bus arnt they just.

Think it will just re-iterate to people why they travel BA and not the flying supermarket.

Of course, the customers will keep coming back for more strike action and cancelled flights.

At least those passengers will, hopefully, get to their destination on time instead of having their flight cancelled. In terms of legroom, I don't think there is that much difference between Ryanair and BA. Ok, so Ryanair's seats don't recline. I never recline my seat on the shuttle and I hate it when the person in front does.

Not sure what the leg room is like on the BA A320s and remaining 737s but the economy seats on the 747s are on the narrow side to say the least and I am not tall, a bit wide, okay, maybe a little! The cabin service on the other hand was excellent, 10/10.

Ryanair crews won't know what's hit them with hour long turnarounds and jet bridges.

AFAIK all BA flights that Ryanair are operating will be from Gatwick, not Heathrow, so we won't be seeing harps in heathrow just yet.

Shame. It would have been some sight, a load of Ryanair 737s lined up at T5.

If I was flying this weekend I'd be grateful to both parties that they can work together and get me to my destination with the minimum of fuss. Speaks volumes about WW's determination to break BASSA that he's not too bothered about MOL making great capital out of this.

Poster Advertising

Anybody on this thread have influence over Poster Advertising --
You might like to know that Ryanair Posters have appeared in Northampton advertising Flights from ---- Bournemouth Airport

Think East Midlands , Birmingham ,Luton or Stansted might just be a tad closer.

Chances are these adverts are a joint campaign between Bournemouth and Ryanair. The geography of the adverts could be down to Bournemouth Airport trying to increase its catchment and attract passengers that would have previously not considered Bournemouth Airport for flights.

At around 135 miles by road from Nothampton to Bournemouth (about 2h 30m to drive), somebody at Bournemouth airport would have to be rather optimistic as to how big their catchment area is !
