Ryanair - 7

[ara01jbb]

UNPAID FOR ADVERTISING IS NOT ALLOWED ON PPRuNe.

Ryanair can advertise by paying the going rate.

[Tooloose]

Isn't that using pprune for advertising or am I missing something? Oh, I forgot, it's Ryanair so no problem.

Edit: Yes it is!

Ryanair at Dresden - not likely

There is silence on this in the German media. My gut feeling is that this was just a rumour, and FR at DRS is not happening. I'd expect LH/4U and AB push DRS hard not to do this. E.g. LH runs a likely loss-making LHR service and many flights to FRA a day, which are its long-haul connection life-line. So DRS owes them something. A small number of EZY flights could be more acceptable to LH/4U/AB, as the ticket price difference is much smaller than with FR. DRS could just phone CGN management, why the FR deal there never happened.

Hello, my first post. Sorry for not properly introduce myself. I'm basically a lurker, who frequently travel for work and for pleasure.
I was trying to book for a flight from BGY and FCO to PIK for next winter, but apparently all flights to PIK from Italy are just available up to October 31st. I heard about Ryanair stepping out from PIK and redundancies among the workers in Prestwick.
Any truth in that?
Will I have to fly with Easyjet from MXP to EDI, then...

[Scottish Flyer]

Rome CIA to PIK has been a seasonal route for some time now. Unlikely to operate over the winter months but should return at end of March. Milan Bergamo has operated all year round as there is a winter market which includes winter sports. Last year the flights were announced fairly late and the same may well be happening this year. It is still quite possible that this route will operate. Ryanair have still not finalised the winter schedule from PIK with a number of changes of frequency and days of operation being made in the past few days. There is no question at this time of Ryanair pulling out of PIK but just of reduced winter frequencies.

Rome CIA also operates to Edinburgh with Ryanair 3 times weekly during winter.

Thanks for replying. If course I meant CIA, and not FCO as you both realised.

Hello and welcome to PPRuNe.

Thank you for your posts.

We can't help you out with your flight details on this forum. You probably better off contacting your travel agent. We try to keep this forum to general business involving the industry as a whole. Please see our forum regulations above.

While were on the subject of CIA, its been droped from EMA aswell, very odd, the flights are always packed, even in the winter, and the fares are not cheap either.

Thanks for the moderator for his/her advice. My question was not timetable-related, but literally: "I heard about Ryanair stepping out from PIK and redundancies among the workers in Prestwick. Any truth in that?"
As such, it is surely industry-related.

Beauvais will get number of new routes to non-base destinations. Among the newest destinations four will be in Morocco (Marrakesh 4/7, Fez 3/7, Tanger 3/7 and Nador 2/7) and one in Italy (Verona, 3/7).

Just wondering how much BVA differs from other airports in FR network. So many W-patterns as nowhere else...

eu01, something to do with French working laws/contracts?

Baggage Fee's

When did this creep in?

Bag Charges to and from Canary Islands are now £20 Each way, but to other destinations from UK it is £15. Surely that is not fair and crippling the tourist industry to Canary islands. i know they are longer flights but so is Marrakech etc.

I am really sorry to say, that has been the final straw for me. I just wish they would charge a propert fare, and not have all these silly silly extra charges which in this case make up 67% of my total "airfare"

I am no an FR basher, but sometimes one can't help it. . .

So would I but Ryanair are no different to ALL the other lo-co airlines.

Beauvais W's

four will be in Morocco (Marrakesh 4/7, Fez 3/7, Tanger 3/7 and Nador 2/7) and one in Italy (Verona, 3/7).

I suppose the Moroccan routes will be W's from Madrid. Or maybe a couple from Seville or one of the other Spanish bases with Moroccan routes.

Ryanair would open a base in Paris Beauvais but the airport has a night ban on flying so if a flight is delayed past 11:30 it has to divert to Lille.

The new landing system will be operating by October 2010 so if there is fog flights will not have to divert as much.

A lot of money would be lost on busing passengers, paying to land in Lille etc.

No they are worse.

I believe next all flights over 1 hour and 4 mins, a cup of tea will be and extra 1 euro, and a Kit-Kat to non EU destinations will be also 1 extra euro.

To charge customers different prices for the same service flight+luggage should be the same, after all, that's what they accuse Dublin and some other airports of, different charges for SAME service they receive everywhere else. If there is an increased cost base on the same service on longer flights, reflect this in the airfare.

Anyway, once MOL runs of with his share of e20m share diffy, and new management come in.....hmmmmm then what?

[WallyWumpus]

TicTack, this is not aimed at you personally, but rather at an earlier post of yours: I go to the Canaries with some regularity (4-5 times a year). I normally go for a week and I have never had to take hold luggage, my cabin bag is fine. I think we pax fall into 2 broad categories (IMHO). I like to think that my ticket price is a little bit cheaper than it would be if RYR had a free baggage allowance, and this motivates me to pack light. One day, hopefully, I will have a family and will no longer have the option, but please let me enjoy it whilst I can

(For clarity, I am suggesting the other group of pax would rather pay a bit more for the basic ticket and get a free hold bag, perhaps a cup of tea and other basic services).

I have no objection to charges that reflect the extra costs to the airline of hold baggage or say paying by credit card. But Ryanair's fees are set far above this level and are intended to generate a substantial part of the airline's revenue. You say you do not want to subsidise passengers with hold luggage. Fair enough, but why should you be subsidised by those paying Ryanair's extortionate fees?

[WallyWumpus]

apaul,

I shouldn't, you are right. The charges should reflect the cost base plus a reasonable commercial profit. If they don't (ie. if baggage is excessively loaded, no pun intended) then I feel less comfortable with my previous post.

Unfortunately, I have no capability to address my own concerns, and I have no idea what baggage handling fees are, so now I feel a bit like I'm blowing in the wind...........
