A few years ago FR said they would never fly to the biggest airports in Europe, like FRA, CDG, LHR and AMS. A few years later AMS is now a FR destination and they're looking at setting up a base there....

As I recall MOL cited the 3 airports LHR, CDG and FRA as no go areas. I never recall AMS being mentioned, that said some things are changing, example, there are repeated mention from various media sources about feeder services to large carriers, that could play a part. Equally, an event like Transavia ops to Dublin from Paris primary airport combined with the continued desire to put it up to Aer Lingus. These sort of things give motivation.
EasyJet seem to be on Ryanair 's radar more than ever..
And they've been stranger to turning up at easyJet's bases (past and present ones), examples include Rome FCO, Madrid, Lisbon and now Amsterdam and Malfeasance... A distinct increase in competitive challenge to easyJet is a feature... Hence part of the interest in some of these airports...

KLM/Privatair do AMS - Houston B738, but then again premium low density seating high fare paying pax paid for by their employer. I thought LH used to do/ was doing something similar from DUS to USA. Now that would be a different ball game for RYR. But why not? If they could undercut these major carriers at their own game and offer similar service at 30% discount from STN, MAN, DUB, CDG, MAD, AMS, GLA/EDI, BFS, LIS, TOU, NRN, EIN, perhaps there is a successful business plan to be had. Is there a will? Perhaps there is a way.
I'm not suggesting they 'should' do it, I just question if it might be feasible with dedicated a/c, and cabin crew.

Ryanair have now clarified their announcement about Prestwick flights next summer. The frequency of Pisa flights will remain the same as 2015 - twice weekly - but the period of operation will be extended from part to full season. Contrary to 737aviator's comment that Corfu looks like it is being dropped from Prestwick for 2016 it has been confirmed that it will operate and the schedule is now loaded on the Ryanair website though not yet on sale.

He was saying he is a Sceptic ..................... not that he was completely against it.
Think he has found out to his benefit that MOL has a habit of making things work profitably.

It is convention within the UK and Ireland that the chairman of a large company listed on a stock exchange should always support the CEO in public, particularly when talking to the press. What goes on behind closed doors is of course an entirely separate matter.
If the chairman cannot give unqualified support about a CEO's statements on a topic, there is a significant chance that the two people have argued extensively on the subject.

He got asked an open question and was pretty straight up in answering it, given Bonderman is a Texan and doesn't do interviews then some Journo got lucky in getting Interview.
Bottom line is MOL runs the company not Bonderman.

Checked-in online this afternoon using the new Ryanair BETA website. It froze when I chose the select seat option resulting in me having to start again. Upon completion of check-in, the boarding pass appeared in a very odd format which would not print. The only way to resolve this was to revert to the old site, retrieve the booking and print the boarding pass from there. No problem with that.
Returned to the BETA site and selected the 'send feedback' option. Wrote a brief account of the technical issues. Upon pressing 'SEND' a red box appeared: "AJAX error thrown. JSON Parse Error. Unexpected identifier ... etc." Tried two or three more times, modifying the inputs slightly. Same outcome on each occasion.
I urge Ryanair to keep the old version of the website available until further notice. As an Apple OSX Mavericks user, I wouldn't like to be relying on the BETA website in its current form whilst traveling away from home.
Has anybody else here had a better experience of this new BETA site yet? Is it just an issue for MAC users?

I'm assuming that with my passport details now saved on the site they will automatically appear when checking in saving time in the future.
