All inclusive prices (except admin fees)

Correct me if I am wrong but I think one of the changes on Cheap Flights - Book cheap flights to Europe with Ryanair is that the prices showed by each date now includes taxes etc..
Earlier you would only see the ticket price and then after choosing it see the (almost) full price...

Not new routes, transferring to Cuneo as Turin is closed from 6 July to 10 July for runway upgrade works.

Bengt - Yes, you are correct, only now have to add payment charge plus any extras.

Jack1985 - They have charged for Visa Electron since 1/1/2010, just after the introduction of Mastercard prepay cards on 1/12/09.

Thanks for that AGPwallah thank god I didn't take up entropay's offer then cheap flights with Ryanair was going to be the only reason I took up a Visa Electron.

I know it's still 5 months away so not that critical yet, but have been wondering when FR is to release seats on flights post October for booking. On competing routes other cariiers inxluding Easyjet, Flybe, Aer Lingus and pretty much all other ndtwork carriers have been taking bookings for quite a while.

Routes cut during Summer season to the greek islands , edinburgh and I think liverpool , never saw this before from ryanair , I think the pilot shortage is starting to bite
The Liverpool services are in the booking engine to the end of October just like last year.

They are already on sale for Warsaw Modlin routes.
Possibly to undercut OLT's expansion as much as possible, possibly for a whole range of other reasons.

But sorry, I do not know the answer to your question.

Aer Lingus and pretty much all other network carriers have been taking bookings for quite a while
Aer Lingus only have some winter routes on sale, the rest to be released this week I believe...

2012 Full year results

Final Results - London Stock Exchange

Summary:
  • Profit up from €401m to €503m
  • Loss over the winter of about €40m, which is an improvement over each of the last 3 years, but it was achieved by grounding more aircraft each time
  • Special dividend of €0.34 per share to be paid in November
  • Cautious outlook for this year: 5% growth in passengers, €320m increase in the fuel bill (mainly in the first half of the year), Q1 profit to fall due to fuel, 3% increase in yields will not cover rise in fuel costs, FY 2013 profit in the range €400m to €440m
  • Ryanair shares currently down 6%

Strong set of results from Ryanair also Michael O’Leary has confirmed the grounding of some of the fleet this winter, ''higher oil prices next winter and the refusal of some monopoly airports (most notably Dublin & Stansted) to lower winter charges makes it more logical to ground up to 80 aircraft rather than suffer losses flying at very low winter yields in FY13.''

Is see m.ryanair.com now opens a mobile login screen. Are they working on a mobile optimized site / app? Way behind other airlines in this regard, strange considering the huge move to mobile web use and many studies showing mobile web users are far more likely to use their devices for business and ecommerce purposes.

Really good set of results especially second half year which really justifies grounding aircraft in a soft market.

Comparison between Ryanair and Easyjet is significant in that Easyjet lost £112M in same period v €41 M for Ryanair or full Yr Ryanair £200 million in comparable year.

Racedo,

Grounding aircraft a good idea! I've heard it all. An expensive non performing asset. It makes no sense unless you have to do it, i.e buying too many aircraft and are fire fighting to keep the head above water.

If it walks like a duck.....

Ryanair were reluctant at first about entering the Sun routes, If I recall rightly it was Go who went there in a serious fashion when the other LOCO's were not going after this market.

And one of the reasons was that many of the sun routes were very seasonal and the challenge was what to do with the aircraft in the off season, this story hasnt changed,if you need oodles of aircraft to serve Spain, Italy, Greece, etc there will be surplus to requirements in winter. Clearly if Ryanair could enhance profitability by operating the whole fleet in winter they would.

But more than all of that it is a reflection that Ryanair are more suited to the leisure market, given that many routes are at less than daily frequency and so much business now is also to sunnier climes!

1/2 billion doesn't sound like fighting to keep the head above water....could be wrong though.

Using assets to make money is sensible, using them to loose even more money doesn't.

Easyjet didn't ground any aircraft and listening to posters they supposedly had a great winter and lost £112M where as Ryanair grounded aircraft and lost 30% of that.

There is a mother of all recessions out there that is going to last another couple of years hence why kill the company when its not necessary.

Racedo,

I agree with you completely. It makes sense now. My criticism is it was a very big mistake in the first place to buy all those aircraft in a contracting market. Very risky strategy and to be honest I don't thinks its paid off yet. If this recession continues much longer the mistake will be further compounded. My point again, why buy expensive assests if you don't intend to use them? Leaving them idle, paying finance, maintenance, depreciation etc. It'll take a lot of 10 euro fares to cover these costs. To Ryanairs credit, they are coping well at the minute. Excellent firefighting......
