If it happens! the airport that would be probably used is Stewart International,(SWF) about 2800nm from Dublin.
Great airport, been many times and looking for a couple of Internationals for their portfolio, would arrive as a domestic flight.
Sector time westbound 6.15 Eastbound 5.30 on prevailing winds.
Can be done using 74.9 mtow

Summer 15
I know FR have begun loading some of the S15 flights onto their website. Would anyone be able to say when this will be substantially complete, so that (apart from new routes and a few odds'n'ends) it'll be possible to determine what will and won't operate in S15 ?
I know that if it's not on sale by December it's unlikely to go on sale for S15, but I presume it doesn't take 3 months to put a season's flights on sale - a more tightly defined estimate of timescale would be much appreciated

Anyone here with Ryanair connections/contacts who can confirm/deny that Ryanair are operating after March 2015 in Derry /LDY?
As yet they have not loaded summer schedule for Derry 2015 which is unusual and late compared to other airports and the speculationand rumour is that they have said cheerio to Derry.
Cheers.

Barcelona T2 could easily take a 25-30 aircraft base for Ryanair, and with the new strategy of mainline airports a move would make sense.
The last few years T2 at El Prat has been almost empty - perfect storm for Ryanair.

A friend of mine was on today's FR 7313, ZAD-DUB, due to arrive at 08:25 and currently estimated at 19:35. Live Flight Information says "ATC Delay" – for those in the know, is that feasible? Seems a bit of a long shot to me...?

@Noxegon
There are currently no delay listings at all for Dublin, Ireland, Zadar or Croatia on the Eurocontrol NOP, therefore ATC delay It seems very unlikely to me. I don't think I've ever seen an ATC delay last that long. Most ATC delays are in terms of minutes (or no delay at all), with the average per flight in Europe being less than 30 seconds per flight.

FR is now well on the way to being just another airline; I suspect the changes have been forced through as MO'L is getting ready to leave the company, and his successors know they cannot emulate his business style. Time was when I could go to the Ryanair website, book a cheap ticket knowing that all the money was going to the airline, know that when I saw the aircraft arrive at the gate we would be on and pushing back in 25 minutes (or less on a good day), my flight would be on time and my baggage would get there at the same time as me - on one occasion at Edinburgh my bags arrived on the carousel 20 minutes before those of my colleague on the Aer Lingus at an adjacent gate, despite his plane landing 10 minutes before mine!)
Now, every transaction I make with FR will have a slice taken to subsidise the Amadeus fees (and discounts to retailers so they can get their commission). Allocated seating slows boarding - no need to rush now, you don't have to get to the aircraft to make sure you get the seat you want. If, as suggested here Ryanair tie-up with Amadeus paves way for codeshare deals with national carriers | Business | The Guardian codeshares and long haul feeding start, they are going to start to get into issues of baggage transfer (and losses), delay payments for connecting passenger etc - more costs, more delays. So fares will go up, and FR will be no different to EI, BA or Lufty.
Of course, the middle-class, Daily Mail reading blue rinses will love it - the hoi poloi will be back to the boat and train to England and Europe where they belong, not cluttering up the genteel airports.

Allocated seating or not, the numpties are still queuing up 45 mins before the aircraft is even on stand. So turnarounds are still as quick. There may be a new cuddlier Ryanair, but having been slapped too many times, it will take a lot for people to trust the new Ryanair.
