Ryanair - 8
If there's one company that won't bend over and take it from MOL it's Exxon.
Exxon were fined €315M by Italian Government in 2006 and all Ryanair are doing is using that judgement to claim compensation for actions of a cartel.
I would say given the Italian Governments ruling and the fact the Exxon have not challenged it then it is quite probably a strong case for any airline which sues.
It most likely will never see the inside of a court however as a "settlement" will be agreed subject to standard confidential clauses............I reckon FR will get €4 million.
What happened to the idea of ethics in business ? Company A breaches competition law to rip off company B. Govt steps in and fines A for its sins. B then sues A for damages. Yet somehow A and B have to work together on a daily basis.
Not exactly a case of 2 companies working together for mutual gain

Essex in Business you mean.......barrow boy mentality in suits with better health benefits.
There is no ethics in business, never has been, never will be.
Look at how Airports or fuel companies deal with airlines if they think there are cash flow issues.
Just because you sue me doesn't mean I will not trade with you to make a profit.......builders do this all the time.

I didn't manage to notice the temporary absence of Captcha, I simply visit Ryanair website less often these days, partly due to this nuisance in fact. I just was able to observe the burst of enthusiasm in various European forums and a big disappointment moments later.
To me it's becoming more and more indifferent issue, as my visits on FR website are becoming sporadic...

Ryanair are in talks with Cluj-Napoca amd Targu-Mure airport flights this autium. 100km between cities.
Targu-Mure offer of 0.95 euro per passenger and Cluj-Napoca offered ten times more but Cluj-Napoca will offer more passengers as it is the second city of Romania. Sibiu is also in talks. Will post a link when I find it.

Captcha not bothering me in the slightest - it's the bloody prices. London-Dublin is gone ballistic with fares more than doubled and, in some cases, tripled. A couple of friends who do Stansted to various European cities report the same.
Another friend who uses FR almost on a weekly basis from DUB-London has just booked 4 cheaper flights with BD (hope they're still in business then). Ironically, he used his Ryanair Cash Passport Card and didn't have to pay the card charges.

Prepaid Mastercard
My Prepaid Mastercard (which I have used to book dozens of flights in the past) is no longer being accepted by the Ryanair website. Outside of Britain and Italy it is still possible to use these cards to avoid Ryanairs administration fees. Has anyone else had any problems lately?

Low fares.
Ontime flights.
No willy-nilly cancellations.
That's what their pax are loyal to, not just the name.
Once they have those and pax follow the rules everyone is happy. Change any of those and there's a new ballgame.
There has been a steady but small increase in fares over the past couple of years - something that can be lived with, they're still low - but the fare increases now showing up as mentioned are nothing short of outrageous for a low-fares airline. Maybe it's just a temporary glitch (try-on). We'll have to wait and see.

Ryanair Cash Passport
Hello everyone,
Just simple question: has anyone in Germany a problem for application of German Ryanair Cash Passport? I got rejected already 20 times
. With different browser, different cards, different phone numbers, etc.

Ryanair's press announcement today of an additional 1,500,000 pax out of Luton and Stansted this summer equates to 8,000 additional flights if they are full and carrying 189 pax! Realistic, or hype?

MOL dosen't seem to fond of Boeing and the 737MAX at the moment!
Ryanair offers scathing verdict on 737 Max
However is point at the end of the article couldn't be more truthful:
'He called for the government to "stop pandering to the idiot environmentalists and even less sensible Nimbys" and add extra runways at London Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted as these airports are already served by existing public transport and road infrastructure. Seeking to construct a new airport in "the estuary of Boris [Johnson's] imagination" with no road or rail links for delivery in 30 years time was, he said "complete and utter bloody lunacy even by Boris's standards".'

Totally serious!
The prepaid MasterCard was dropped by Ryanair on the 1st of November for having no fees and replaced by the Ryanair passport. Have you been living in a cave lol???
P.s. Do some research before belittling people Smith. Otherwise you can end up looking a little bit foolish lol!
