' After all, we know that Ryanair's web team would never do anything stupid like lock people out with annoying CAPTCHAS now would they '
jabird - forget about the CAPTCHAS - it's there ! Last night I booked four flights for a total of £26.50 - yes, I had to put in the letters on four occasions while searching and booking. For that kind of deal, do you really think people are going to be very upset with a little extra work ????? - and I don't think your wagging finger will influence Ryanair !

Price's for Dub-CDG doubled within minutes of saturdays match in Paris being cancelled and the weekend march 4th/5th being named as the most likly date instead. Ahh, the low fares airline, don't you just love them.

Do tell, where can I find these fares between DUB and CDG? Oh yeah, sorry FR don't operate there. Best check your facts before trolling next time.
Oh, and did it occur to you the reason prices go up when events are announced is because other people had the same idea of checking flights and booking them, meaning all of the cheap seats go very quickly?

DublinPole you can't just say its because people rushed to make bookings, Ryanair always put the prices up the minute something like this is announced and use that as an excuse which is valid to an extent but it FR trying to get as much money out of people as possible.

Hungary
More in Financial Times.
Ryanair, the Irish no-frills airline, on Tuesday boasted of its “phenomenal” success in ticket sales for newly-announced flights serving Budapest, in the wake of the collapse of Malev, the Hungarian flag carrier. It also stepped up its attacks on Wizz Air, its chief rival in the local market. It alleged that Wizz Air’s ownership structure violated European Union rules – a claim swiftly denied by Wizz.

Aer Lingus DUB-CDG (dep fri 2 march-return mon 3 march) 1 passenger €211.18 (not inclduing handling fee or baggage)
Ryanair DUB-BVA (dep fri 2 march-return mon 3 march) 1 passenger €285.32 (not inclduing handling fee or baggage)
Anyway everybody will have there own option on the topic but you can't claim that Ryanair are going to be honest and say they have not set the prices to increase by a larger amount as the seats sold out and if you put 25 passengers on the Ryanair flights its still not sold out as I wouldn't say that the flights are nearly full.
And what happened to the low fare airline....

Ryanair slogan is "The Low Fares Airline" not the Low Fare Airline on a specific day and date.

Of course they are going to go up....supply and demand....simple rules of business. Ryanair = Business not a public service!!
All airlines do the same, any airline that does not seize such opportunities need their yield/revenue managers sacked!!

Aer Lingus don't brand themselves as the low fare airline, Ryanair do.
From Ryanair website:
Cheap Flights - Lowest European Fares, Low Cost Airline. They should be lower than other airlines all the time and not on days they decide.
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said the other day - insisted that Ryanair offered the lowest fares

What will happen soon is Ryanair will come out and say we will add extra flights and have a set fare for the flights. Just like they did with DUB-TLL in November.
Ryanair 'sexist adverts' banned after complaints
Yet again this carrier sinks to new depths with their advertising:
BBC News - Ryanair 'sexist adverts' banned after complaints
I like this bit in particular:
Whilst certain crew members might strip off and earn a couple of extra Euros for it, do they automatically think the rest of the female population would like their headline? But as usual bad publicity is good publicity as the world will read the report and don't care about the ad. As long as the flights are cheap!

Ryanair said since crew members volunteered to take part, it could not be seen to objectify women.

ASA again!!!
Well to put the above into context, of all the people who saw it a whole *17* complained about it. Now on such a small sample most reasonable people would say ok protest noted and leave it at that. But not these guys, they hate O`Leary, probably because he usually refers to them as `self appointed dimwits` 
so they hit him with the big stick which is exactly what O`Leary reckoned they would do
Result......headline grabbing for Ryanair and all for FREE....come on guys love him or loathe him you gotta admit he`s a whole lot smarter than the po faced ASA 
....
Mind you if I were Easyjet or BA I`d be complaining about the ASA this morning...good stuff though

NYO-GRO replaced with NYO-BCN?
Just noticed that there are no flights between NYO-GRO after the 24th of March. Just a few days after Spanair's bankruptcy NYO-BCN was added, with NYO-GRO still available (I know as I rebooked my four canceled flights). Today I see that it is not available anymore.
Jamie2k9, you know any about this? I would not mind an airport change but I want to have my trips....
