Also like daz211 - I have never had occasion to use a loo despite taking my own tissues, supplied tissue is cheap and small.

In years and years of flying - I have never needed to use a tissue once.
Look: I take your point - I just don't like or need thus far to use airline toilets - others may want to, that's fair enough.

No more german bases!!!!! Yawn!!!
And Paphos was meant to open Nov 1st however due to operational issues with the airport not due till early next year now. Some facillities not in place yet in order for it to become a base.

EU emissions trading plan may cost Ryanair up to €16m - The Irish Times - Mon, Oct 03, 2011
Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said: “This unavoidable cost will be factored into our overall business costs . . . passengers will not face a new surcharge for carbon emissions.”

ETS and the Vodoo science of Climate Change may get abandoned when non EU airlines can't be charged, especially if airlines refuse EU staff the free upgrades they previously got by cancelling their FF memberships.

Main points of MOL's interview for Swedish Nyhetsbyrån Direkt, published today:
- Ryanair hopes to open more bases in Scandinavia (nothing concrete though)
- "We want to start flying domestic services in Scandinavia. The problem is that many airports are owned by the state who want to protect the SAS and therefore charge high fees. However, I think it will change"
- This year, Ryanair will not start flying to new airports in Scandinavia, but hopes to begin flights to 3 - 4 new airports in summer 2012. Of these one or two are expected to be in Sweden, in northern and/or central parts of the country. However, one should not expect Ryanair to fly to any new airport in Denmark.
- During the next two years, Scandinavia and Central Europe will be the regions where Ryanair will put most emphasis on growth. No details revealed due to "competitive reasons".
- Ryanair has still plans to start flying to the U.S., but it will not happen within 2 - 3 years. In contrast, there are no plans to begin any Asian routes, too tough regulations there.
- Ryanair do not see Norwegian as a major competitor, as their ticket prices are too high.
- Recession is good for Ryanair ( really?)

Glad to see there might be some expansion in Scandinavia pee!
I'm looking at booking flights over christmas and new years from BHX to LDY. Usually I'd leave it to 4 weeks before to book as its normally the cheapest then, however as it's winter, should I pay £110 return now (including hold baggage which I do need) or hold off? Any advice would be great!

Prepaid card now live. But I thought it was being handled by Access Worldwide, part of Mastercard. It now says Raphaels Bank. The last company - Orion? went under. Afaik, there is no consumer protection on these cards.
Cause for concern?
Cause for concern?
jabird - prepaid cards are not credit cards so consumer credit protection laws generally don't apply. In addition the normal protection from bank deposits within the EU often is not available on these type of prepaid cards - but most people are unlikely to have a balance of more than a few hundred pounds (likely to be much smaller than that for most peope) so deposit protection isn't really a major issue. The really big cause for concern should be the fees charged on this card and the conditions of use which seem particularly onerous compared to other prepaid cards on the market

Ryanair is running out of growth and facing falling load factors.
Easyjet are growing faster and have higher load factor. It is clear that many people are avoiding FR when they can.
