Ryanair like all airlines sell seats in blocks, Lowest price - highest price. If there is ver few on the flight the airline will always drop prices but in most cases once a booking is made:
If the flight is heavly booked the prices will go up
If the flight has many seats left the prices will drop in most cases.

Ryanair v Alicante

Who will back down first ? Ryanair or AENA ?
- My money is on the Spanish Government stepping in to 'persuade' AENA that it would bad for the wider Costa Blanca economy for them to turn their back on El Altet completely
Ryanair versus Alicante Airport

Somehow that one is easy to answer.

Then there is not being able to view dates and prices available,
Before booking go to top right of screen and change the country to Ireland and not UK, it will then display each date with a price in £'s too that is available just like it used to.

...../priority board/......

Oh, so you are one of those I scowl at for giving M.O'L more money.... my more charitable other half says they probably are old and rheumaticy..... fine as long as they don't parade around waving their priority boarding scrap of paper.....

On the principle of mine is bigger than yours -

I did 2x MRS -EIN/EIN - MRS on Jan 12-19 2012, no extras, virtual card payment (no cc fee) for €81.46, booked yesterday.

and BTW, I followed the counsel to only do the wavy bit on the captcha - it works.

Question for Ryanair ops : Dublin-Poitiers

Earlier in the year, the route Dublin-Poitiers was bookable "for one week only" i.e. one out/return on a weekend at the end of (?)June, another out/return the following weekend.

Assuming this wasn't just Michael O'Leary having a family event in Poitiers and selling the empty legs, was this pair of flights put on at the request of a third party?

If so, any chance someone could quietly pass me details of a contact in RA so that I can discuss the possibility of something similar from Dublin to another French RA airport? I'd really like to give the man some money.

Power slams O'Leary

So all Ryanairs talk about brining more tourists was a load of bull. 80% of passengers using FR from were Irish and with the routes transfered to NOC the exact same thing is happoning.

Is it a rumour and are there already routes known?
I read Frankfurt (Hahn) - Alexandroupolis 2 weekly

Do you know any more?

Priority Boarding
[my more charitable other half says they probably are old and rheumatic]
Yep. that's Me and the Mrs and we are happy to pay a few quid to get on first, and FR are no different than many other airlines.

Ryanair vs Alicante

The new government in Spain takes over power next week - the problems with Ryanair are probably the least of their problems. For example, the price of electricity needs to increase by at least 10% due to the prevarication of the previous government: I can't believe that many Spanish citizens will say - 'increase the price by 11% so that nice Mr O'Leary can carry on giving 'cheap' fares' . Ryanair needs to understand that it operates within a total European economy.
As an aside, it is reported in local newspapers here[SE Spain], that Russian tourists are becoming more and more important to the tourist economy, not in terms of numbers, but in terms of spend - and the Russians all report that they do NOT wish to travel with budget airlines. [obviously not an opportunity for Ryanair!]

Anyone know when ryanair's Leeds to Murcia route will be put back on sale for next summer 2012 season?

The route was on sale a 3x weekly (MON, WED, FRI) operated by a Leeds based aircraft until about a week ago when it was removed from the system for it to suddenly reappear and be bookable again last weekend.
It now looks like all flights have be removed again from the system for some reason. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the reduction in flights between nearby Alicante and Leeds next summer due to ryanair's on going dispute with AENA.

The flights operated in July because Tours was closed for runway works and all Tours flights were transfered to Poitiers passengers were bused to/from Tours over the 2 weeks.

LBA - Murcia will still operate with 3 weekly.

Got an e-mail from Ryanair today saying my flights have being cacnelled. Can transfer onto another flight or a refund. Had a look at there website and the days I want are not operating for that week only, but ther are for the rest of the season. What way do Ryanair work there summer schedule from DUB as it always seems to change every 5 minutes.
DUB summer schedule is March-October but is split into 5 sections within March-October.

Alexandroupoli

Where did you get that news, pee?
Is it a rumour and are there already routes known?
It's the official news of Hahn airport.

An interesting destination, in spite of the fact it's a very small place. I can see some similarities with Lappeenranta. Both not so far from the very big urban centres: St. Petersburg / Istanbul. Some differences: The distance to Istanbul is 300 kilometers, over 100 km more than LPP - LED. Istanbul already has some low cost routes, LED practically not a single one. Nevertheless, Alexandroupoli can count on westernmost areas of Turkey, e.g. Edirne, some folks from Bulgaria may surely come to fly from AXD. The possible failure could be relating to the marketing support issue. Little Alexandroupoli paying for pax from/to Turkey (as LPP for LED)? Well, let's see.
