MUFC-fan - can I sit with you and get 38'' of leg-room please!
He probably refers to emergency exit seats. Interestingly, in many cases when I flew on Central European routes, people don't really rush to them, and I could get one even if being in middle of the queue.

Now regarding to the discussion before. I am probably a bit biased towards FR, since most of my flights (95+%) have been with them, just because they were really always the cheapest (and me being very price sensitive, I would definitely check all available options) and my overall experience has been positive.

I would tend to agree though that the charge is mainly due to rising fuel costs, because it's introduced not just after the volcano problems, but .. yep, during oil price spike.

I also think it's a little bit useless to moralize about the fact that it's hipocritical etc. Not many firms, especially successful ones are ethical at all these days. Take a look at all the banks in the recent crisis. If FR reached a point, where people got offended/upset by such behaviour they would stop flying with Ryanair. It didn't seem to be like that so far. And these 70m can be the biggest idiots in the planet, as a business FR couldn't care less. If there's any LCC that could do the same profits, just with positive image, they are welcome to do that.

Very true. You can be at pretty much any point in the first 50% of a queue (even on a full flight) and you're very likely to get an emergency exit seat.

But I'm revealing my 'secrets of flying Ryanair.' You'll have to wait for my book folks!

Just a precision, the electronic ccs approved by Ryanair work and you pay no fee. Fine, especially if the fare is very low...., doesn't matter much if your paying a lot for the basic fare, e.g weekend in August.... ; so whats new?

Is this a fact or simply a rumour? BSL haven't announced this yet ... so when are the blue and yellow harps about to make music at BSL? Last time out the harmony became somewhat less than concordant.

Thanks Jamie. I checked the booking system before posting and also BSL's website. Any other destinations from BSL besides Palermo?

something of an exageration?

Fascinating ... considering (off the top of my head and at first glance!) that there are at least two routes on that Winter list of 'cancellations' that have never been 'winter routes' in the first place ....

PMO is not a base, so they will have to fly a W Base/PMO/BSL/PMO/Base. Quite impressive to do that for an airport with a single route.
I am not sure of anything, but I really think that they will start other routes from BSL if they start PMO.
Concerning ALC, most of the traffic is in the summer, so they should compare the winter figures with last winter figures. It may change from 4/5 aircraft to just 2.

Concerning the FR program this coming winter, where can I find the schedules/frequency for ALC routes because I cant see them even though people are commenting on them as being fact?

Interesting. I wonder whether another airline will try to pick up some of those routes.

Alicante Base Reduction

Ryanair should be comparing the reduction this winter to last winter and not this summer. Most of Alicante's traffic comes during the summer and not the winter.

All route below did not operate for winter 2010/11
Aarhus, Bournemouth, Cork, Derry, Doncaster, Fez, Gdansk, Kerry, Knock, Palma, Pisa, Poznań, Santander, Stockholm Vasteras, Valladolid, Wrocław, Zaragoza

All routes below are new services which did not operate for winter 2010/11
Brno, Cochstedt, Humberside, Kaunas, Tampere

So thats 22 out of 31 planned route to be cut which did not oeprate last winter.

Based aircraft for winter 2010/11 was 5
Based aircraft for winter 2011/12 will be 2
