Extra Six Nations Paris flights from ?199 return
Why on earth would you expect that to be 19.99 return? It is a specific event creating a huge spike in demand based around being one of many thousands of people who will only accept being in one place at a particular time. Do you expect East Coast trains to offer its cheapest fares every time England play Scotland at Murrayfield? If that game was moved to another time, would they lay on extra trains for it? No - because they can't.

Be glad that Ryanair can put on extra flights for this game, appreciate that it is a market led situation, and you can't blame the devil from Mullingar for the original game being cancelled in the first place.

The only scenario when people should whinge is if the flight got delayed and passengers missed the match. There will be no extra compensation for that. But that's a risk you take - be glad you are in a financial position to go to a game everyone else watches on TV. And if Ireland lose and your gambling stake goes down the toilet, you can't blame Ryanair for that either.

Are people on this forum actually serious? some of you think Ryanair and Aer Lingus are wrong to increase prices on a route where high demand will exist? this is a basic rule of business/economics where demand is high, price is high its called making money. Get real

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....
They have being moved to BCN and GRO cancelled.

Yet again this carrier sinks to new depths with their advertising:
Crude - yes.
Tasteless - yes.
Might appeal to the wrong target market - randy teenagers instead of business users and middle class tourists - maybe, depends if daddy's making the booking or not.
As for new depths - yet again, it shows that MOL can put his hand in his pockets and keep it there. As with the Norwegian radio mentioned above, he has done something no ad agency could do - he has got the BBC to broadcast his ad for him without having to pay a penny.

Dispatches "Ryanair caught napping"

Such spoilsports. Sticking to the facts.

Don' t they know that most punters, like a not inconsiderable number of posters here, prefer the b@ll**** which comes from the PR dept of the low cost airline (sic).

CarnManorLad - it seems that the Ryanair IT department wishes to emulate their counterparts at the world's finest airlines, by taking on the culture of "project slippage"

I took the quoted figure of 199 and divided it by 10 to give the figure some people seemed to think they should pay for these flights.

Thing is I don't remember there being any statement as to a new website just a comment on here.

Accept the comment by the poster at face value that there was supposed to be a new one but really that is all we have to go on.

Thing is some parts of the Ryanair website are now live with the new design! For example if you click on 'destinations' it loads the new section.

Plans have been submitted for a new extension for London Southend Airport that would result in the creation of 300 new aviation jobs.
What is the relevance to the Ryanair thread ?

Dunno as perhaps they expect FR to want to go to Southend.

Looks like a few teething problems in the BUD base....for a start scheduling have messed up on a few of the block times. BUD-RYG given 01:40 for a distance of 778NM.....impossible. 02:15 for BUD-BCN, with the 20 minute taxi out for take off!! I sense a few schedule changes appearing ASAP!!

Interesting press release....

Ryanair Sues Budget Travel to Stop Unauthorised Selling of?

I'm no legal expert, but I don't believe there is any legislation in Ireland at least that bans reselling goods or services at a markup. Ryanair might not like it, but at first glance I'm not sure that there's anything they can do about it beyond making things inconvenient with the captcha et al.
