Don't get me wrong I'm not a Ryanair basher, I use them a fair bit myself on 'short' flights if going away for a few days no more. But why if you have the choice would you want to fly FR to LPA from Stansted when Thomson and Thomas Cook both offer flights from Stansted with a decent baggage allowance, allocated seats and you won't have to listen to that drivvle over the 'PA' "Bulls-eye baggies! 2 for a fiver" rubbish for 4 hours plus. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.

Plovdiv, Bulgaria
More on the Plovdiv rumours:
Airport CEO says Hahn, London probable.
Dublin, Italy, Spain possible.
Ryan Air will Fly to Plovdiv airport, near Pamporovo in Bulgaria. Low cost flights to Plovdiv

If booking some 7 weeks before the departure, would you ever pay more than 300 euro for a return flight with Ryanair? Myself I wouldn't, no way.
But look at this:
Have to say, I'm impressed by these prices. Totally unimpressed by Ryanair's reaction to this demand, however. No conclusions drawn, no action. Typical FR.
But look at this:

pee - for the same dates, but flying Helsinki-Malaga return, Finnair want
513 euros but with a change in Madrid on the outbound
or
614 euros if you want to fly non-stop in both directions.

Pee's point, I guess: there is more money to earn there, if RYR was able to start similar routes from Spain, Italy, Malta and so on. No action -> being late.
Personally I'm watching at "St. Petersburg West". Apparently pretty good reception by Russians, no new development so far (late again?).

Back to LPA, I always go with Ryanair to LPA, TOM and TCX from STN want
£180-£209 RTN, I never pay more than £50 RTN with FR and even though im not
100% happy with the timings they are better than getting up at in the middle of the night to check-in for at 7am flight.
So that is why I Fly Ryanair to LPA from STN.

Le directeur général de la compagnie à bas coûts irlandaise Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, a menacé jeudi de fermer son unique base en France, à Marseille, si des poursuites judiciaires étaient engagées à son encontre pour travail illégal.
Ce décret "stupide" est le résultat du "lobbying d'Air France", a dénoncé M. O'Leary

Looks like Mickey's legal department is rather busy these days - today his credit card fee was trashed by the German Surpeme court. In short, the court held that Ryanair must offer a commonly used free method of payment - which a Visa Electron (or Mastercard Prepaid) is not, at least not in Germany.

First Ryanair said they would not compensate (which in this 'act of God' case I agree) then in a press release they said they would 'fully conform to EU261' and no sooner than they had released that statement then the sudden pounce of a €3 million fine.
How did they arrive at an even €3 million figure?

Fine by me but wrong gesture. In Italy it is a different V sign. If he learnt about 7 different obscene hand gesture poses he'd get through to most Europeans.
Look on the bright side they got at least €3 million in fee advertising and didn't pay a cent yet.

Thats the thing about a free market Pee, ... right
if you dont like a company ... why not? a bit rough, but efficient one
or its prices, ... I do like generally
use the alternative ... I do use, where appropriate.
Once again. "To analyze" is not a synonym of "to criticize". Trying to comprehend the background and reasons of company's decisions does not equal to bashing them.
