I knew that Ryanair were close to the bit on extra costs but even I'm gobsmacked that on the Gla-Sofia route in June,a 20kg bag costs 21 quid outbound and 24 quid inbound.considering that Bulgarian fuel is even cheaper than in the Uk what whizzwheel kid came up with this one.perhaps Ryanair are now hedging their bets thet the winds on that day are going to be a 3quid stronger westerly.If the company would care to explain the discrepancy here it might help customer relations and save me 4 quid in telephone costs to get an answer. Ps I am not a Ryanair hater just a cost conscious potential customer.😎

aligee - The flight west takes more time due to prevailing winds and just happens to fall into more expensive bracket in the pricelist that is differentiated by schedulled flight time.

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (4 Oct) announced that it is to launch a major recruitment drive as it plans to take delivery of 50 new aircraft in the next 12 months.
Ryanair announced that it will be hiring 2,000 new cabin crew, 1,000 pilots and 250 aircraft engineers, as well as promoting over 300 First Officers on its command upgrade programme across its 84-base European network.
A range of new positions will also be created in IT, Sales & Marketing, Digital Experience, Finance and Commercial at Ryanair’s Dublin office, and also at its Travel Labs Poland subsidiary in Wroclaw.

50 aircraft in a year is rather impressive!

No doubt a private charter on B-700. Seems like a bunch of folks going on a ski holiday, by the clothing. Doubt you could get such a seat for €19.99. So is it really so simple?
Is that 50 extra airframes net after older aircraft leave the fleet?
Working on my earlier 1000 an aircraft a day that is one hell of a lot of bums on seats.

The financial statements for 2015-16 has a table of planned deliveries. It does show 50 planned deliveries for the financial year but 29 aircraft returned or disposed of - i.e a net increase of 21 aircraft.

Purely out of speculation before people start to complain, can any think of any routes that Ryanair could potentially operate from each of their London bases. All of there London bases are very different so the routes from each will differ. I can think of a couple of the start of my head:
Stansted-Amsterdam
Stansted/Luton - Stuttgart
Stansted/Luton/Gatwick - Brussels/Charleroi
Stansted-Amsterdam
Stansted/Luton - Stuttgart
Stansted/Luton/Gatwick - Brussels/Charleroi

Luton - Krakow is a huge possibility.
Stansted - Charleroi wouldn't work, maybe Brussels.
Stuttgart already served by Germanwings and Amsterdam is very expensive for Ryanair. Can't see much further expansion at AMS, maybe from Shannon however.

Absolutely. Same situation with Paris-Beauvais as well which has never been served as far as I know.
I'm surprised they've never done Menorca from STN, or any other UK airport for that matter. Has always puzzled me why they only do that one from EMA.
Catania and Cagliari seem odd ones to miss out as well. The latter is of course already served from STN by EZY and I think was served by FR from LGW at one time?
Perhaps Venice-Marco Polo could be one as well now they've bizarrely moved just the BRS route over there from Treviso.
Stuttgart does seem a strange one to miss out and was surprised Nantes never lasted, or has since made a come back.

Welcome to Ryanair!
This is an interesting one.
1 million US Citizens is impressive but also means that Ryanair are providing themselves a natural hedge against currency movements by accepting payments in US $.

It's all the more impressive with US citizens have to queue up for a "visa check" before every flight – but then I guess Americans are used to dealing with long queues at airports
