Looks like Ryanair is getting ready to launch a new look Website, I just had to book a last minute business trip only to find a nice clear page with flights and yes prices all shown in a box so no more low fares available it looked a lot clearer than the old site
but just as I was about to book I got a message saying this system is not yet available and took me back to the old site

I dont like the wording of the headline in the above link 
.
The Spanish airport authority AENA have offered what many consider to be the ultimate compromise to troubled airline Ryanair, in a bid to allow the airline to continue to serve Alicante El Altet airport.

Polish Modlin as the Ryanair's base to come? Still very uncertain, but apparently one step closer as of today.
The Mazovia Province Governor's Office did not agree to give the operational control over Modlin airport to PPL Polish Airports authority, the company that has been in charge at Warsaw Okecie. The main reason: to guarantee substantially lower airport fees compared to EPWA. If the costs are significantly lower, Wizzair will also have to move to Modlin, the insiders suggest. Okecie could lose an important piece of cake as a result, that's why such a split is necessary to influence the prices, the local authorities decided.

eu01,
Do you know where Modlin stands with its rail link?
Without it, even Wizzair might see they can get better yields at WAW, although I note FR have stayed out, even with their move to more 'main' airports.
Yet the nearest rail line is 5k away. In the UK, the link to GLA got abandoned after costs headed towards £200m, and that was just for about 1k. On a different not, Poland recently abandoned its high speed line.
The plans called for a spur and a station underground, hence high build costs even if the cost of infra in Poland is much lower than the UK. I can think of few genuine low cost airports with stations onsite, unless a line happens to be passing by (e.g. PIK), or they grow to a size when these costs can be justified (e.g. STN).
I don't think either apply at EPMO.

How did you know I'm interested in railways too [integrated transport etc]? 
To my knowledge, the rusting rail link has been there for years, mostly as the military supplies sidetrack. It's intended to be refurbished and also the airport rail terminal should be up and running by 2013/14 I guess. Until then, the airport promises a free 3 km bus ride to Modlin town railway station, 50 minutes away from Warsaw Central Station (the travel time could be shorter if some non-stop trains were introduced).

eu01,
Plenty of us here are too, but I try and keep within the 'tramways' of an aviation forum!
There is no point in flying to an airport if you can't then get where you actually want to go, and having a station on site makes that process much easier.
I was under the impression that the spur was a new line, and that they were trying, after many years of delays, to open in time for Euro 2012.
Then again, lots of developments in the UK were initially planned 'in time for the Olympics' too....

ALC Dispute
Going back to the ALC dispute, the priority boarding at ALC will need to be implemented stringently to avoid lots of pax complaints at ALC [probably not a concern to MOL] - also, it will be impossible to dash off the aircraft at ALC to the car-hire desks if everyone is herded on to the two buses that MOL will hire.
Does bussing pax to aircraft with all the hassle involved, really save MOL any money? - Just an interested question, with no hidden agenda!!

Mazowiecki Port Lotniczy Warszawa-Modlin
There is a rail service between Modlin Airport and E-65 railway line connecting Warsaw and Gdańsk which, as provided by the European Agreement on Main International Railway Lines (AGC), is a part of the Paneuropean Transport Corridor No VI connecting the Polish sea border via Działdowo, Modlin, Warsaw with the southern border of Poland.
(future)
The Polish Railway Authority (PKP PLK S.A.) plans to modernize Modlin railway station and Warsaw East (Warszawa Wschodnia) Railway Station - Modlin railway line. There is a siding from Modlin railway station to the airport which, after modernization (widening, improvement of track parameters, connection of electric traction, construction of the station building and related infrastructure) will be used for passenger transport and cargo loading/ unloading. Thus, the airport will acquire a railway connection with Warsaw and, ultimately, Warsaw F. Chopin Airport.
