Letting Ryanair land for free does not seem to have done much good for the Canaries. Most of their routes seem to have gone for the summer.
They were only ever going to be winter routes at this point in time.

When will we know if the routes are to continue into the Summer ?

New routes from CRL (3 weekly from December), BLQ (4 weekly), EDI (4 weekly) and of course OPO (3 weekly) to Bordeaux starting March 2010.
Rumour about a new base with 3 a/c at BTS.

Apparently RYR are sending 35 B738's to Bournemouth for repainting this winter. EI-DCG is the 1st and EI-DAD the 2nd, with both there now being stripped down. I know they dispose of their a/c after 7 years, and park some up over the winter, but 35 is a hell of lot to withdraw so quickly.
Any idea what the plan is?

Bratislava
Lots of articles in Google news about Ryanair base at Bratislava. (None in English though, so far). MOL gave a press conference in Vienna today.
3 based aircraft, 20 new routes, no mention of dates...

Is anyone experiencing difficulties with the Ryanair website at the moment? I am unable to book a flight on my laptop and keep getting a message saying, "Error - Your session has been locked

However when I try to book a flight on my ipod I am not getting that message and can book my flight without any problem.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux flights are now in the booking engine.
It has also been added to the route map albeit in the wrong place
Personally I think Bordeaux has a lot of potential. Routes to more existing bases wouldn't surprise me at all. W's originating from nearby bases (Marseille, Charleroi, London/England, Hahn, Bergamo, Girona) are also entirely possible.

Ryanair have confirmed that from April next year they will reduce there Shannon base from 3 to 1 aircraft.
A very bright for Ryanair decision considering they have made no money in Shannon in the last 5 years! Yeah right...and thats why FR had based 6 aircraft there at the peak.
It will be interesting to see what routes remain and which ones will be continued from other bases.

The original FR 'threat' said the remaining aircraft would 'largely' fly to London and provincial UK airports. So that would imply routes like AGP/FAO/BVA would remain at token frequencies at best

Avoid which experience exactly?
If you book a flight is to FLY from A to B (or to C via B, whatever). It's all the same experience. You go to the airport, board, fly, and land, and that experience you get with any airline. Unless of course, you don't mind spending extra 40€, 50€ or 100€ for a dry sandwich and a cup of coffee. Not worthy in my opinion. With that money I go to a good restaurant when I arrive.

James - its a biscuit thing...... clear your cookies and it should clear the path for you! Had an entire town near mine unable to book flights after the website "upgrade" about a year ago. Same issue. Great isn't it?

Personally, I just drift off. The announcements don't get to me. If I'm paying considerably less for what's a short flight anyways, it's all the same to me. They have to make announcements whatever airline you fly with. If you're that irritable then I suppose you have options to pay more..... But I like the way we all have choice in the matter.... I choose to fly cheapest....

I don't have a choice most of the time, since EI do the same thing these days (though to a lesser degree for now).
It's just fresh in the mind at the moment since I took an internal flight in Greece recently that reminded me of how air travel could actually be pleasant.

The experience of cabin crew blasting the passengers on the PA system with sales announcements for lottery tickets, bullseye baggies, train tickets, et al - particularly pleasant on 6:00am flights it must be said...
