Ryanair Winter Schedule 2011-12
Can anyone advise when Ryanair's winter schedule is likely to be complete on their website. In particular I note that the STN-AOI route is not showing any flights available after 29th October although all other routes into neighbouring parts of Italy are present on their website. Does this mean this route has been dropped for the winter - or just not yet input to the site?

How long is a piece of string....major routes get "re-released" - on the same or similar schedule as last year, to allow the early bookers to start filling seats. These are out now. 99% of the time this changes (sometimes right up until 4 weeks before departure) as analysis is done on what routes are profitable etc, new routes added etc. Everyone expects this year to be even more cut throat with off peak route freezes, especially departing the UK.

Thanks all - will wait till June/July - realised the bit about waiting for 6-8 weeks beforehand except for Christmas. Usually the AOI route is available fairly early in the process thats all and a few owners of holiday accom served by RYR flights were getting a bit anxious.

I only ever fly Ryanair on business from Manchester or Liverpool to Dublin. A few weeks ago I booked a return trip from MAN to DUB for Saturday 21st May and checked in online. Yesterday I tried to change the booking to Saturday 28th May but I was told that because I have already checked in online I cannot change the dates of the booking. However, when I flew with EasyJet last month to Spain and checked in online, I had to return 2 days earlier than planned and managed to ammend my return journey date with no problem but with a fee. I don't read the terms and conditions on Ryanair's website even though I tick the box to confirm I have read them before searching and booking flights. Is there no way I can ammend these flights? I need to go to DUB on Sat 28th or Sat 4th June for a reasonable price and looking at FR & EI for those weekends it currentley looks very expensive.

If you ring the UK or Irish call centre and ask them to cancel your check-in they will and then you can change the dates and check-in again.
It may be cheeper just to rebook with FR rather than changing the dates.

just to confirm (with links to relevant confirmations)
as you have discovered, you cannot change the reservation once you have checked in with ryanair
Can I change my booking after I have checked-in online?
however, with easyjet you can
Can I change my flight details after I
as the previous poster says it might be cheaper to book a new ticket rather than amend the existing.
from LPL you only have FR as your choice of operator to DUB.
from MAN you have a choice of FR or EI

I'm one of those "non-employees but representatives on site" and I'll charge you if you don't adhere to the terms and conditions which you agree to when making a booking.
That said, I always recommend re-packing a bag (transferring weight into hand luggage, for example) rather than paying excess.

Interesting maths re investment and the subject of route support, what seem to forget is that unless this Ģ200 per head, which is probably on the low side is new money that would have been left in the bank then all you are doing is moving it from one holiday destination to another. The bigger problem is that a lot of these out the way places are worth visiting once maybe twice, take Granada, I heard of one couple who went on a cheap Ryanair deal and were amazed that there was no beach!!
Another person bought property there because it was so cheap and near to the airport, now they have to fly to AGP because Ryanair pulled out when the money stopped, as I say there is some benefit but a lot of the time is distorts the Market for a short period of time, they have created many jobs and much wealth, but if you believe their spin on job numbers for each press release there would be no unemployment in Europe !!

"They have created many jobs and much wealth..."
Not sure about the jobs figures, but Iīll grant you that The Leprechaun hisīself and most of the Ryan family have become rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Errrr, thatīs about it.

I guess with age we see people acting diffently but I know few people, aside from Emigrants returning home for family events or people celebrating an Anniversary / Big Birthday who would have a weekend away 20 years ago that involved flying.
I think I know few who have not had at least 1 a year (some 1 every month or two) over last 5 years. I know my kids are relatively young but their flights are into 3 figures, least eldest one is.
I don't think its movement of money from one holiday destination to another more like a decision that instead of having a nice meal out every weekend we save it up and a little bit more to have a weekend away given that a night out in London with a show and dinner leaves people with bugger all change from Ģ200.
Some destinations will work, some won't but regions who see the potential and invest to grow the initial inflow will do ok in the longer term.

...certainly help to keep a flagging show, based on the Ratner mark II business model, on the road.
But once wee Micky has insulted all the current members of the local cabinet as well as their better half, even the densest of EU regional politicians eventually sees the light.
And one or two of them even reach the nirvana of true enlightenment and begin to ponder what is known in the chanceries of Europe as the Ryanair-paradox:
"if thatīs how he treats important people like ourselves, how does he treat our hard up citizens when they try to board his planes ?"

Fair point about the meal v a short break, but it's the same thing, if all these people are flying to nowhere instead of having a meal and creating jobs then the less meals means less jobs?
It is of course a free ish Market and people have every right to go an spend their money how and where they want, additionally travel does broaden the mind and as you say all to often 70+ million can't be wrong! However the expectation of what you get with most LoCo is very low and FR don't disappoint in that respect, perhaps if Hull threw a million bucks at FR a few people( that have never been) might be persuaded to visit that god foresaken place, if only once.

restaurant are going under by the day. Ryanair have prediced they will be ex-growth for the winter and have an overall growth for the year of 4%. They face another 10-20% rise in fuel cost once the hedge runs out. They are to increase fares this year and will have to do so next year. Next year they could see pax going down for the whole year.
