Ryanair - 9

eric -

sorry, finger trouble - now corrected.

I think that whilst a number of routes may be 'new' in terms of operating through the winter, they are not new per se - the Liverpool routes being a case in point.

I've just had an email from Ryanair saying my flight to Malaga has been retimed. The email asks me to click on the link to accept the new time but when I do that a new page opens and asks me to type in my reservation number and a pin. How the heck do I find out what the pin is? I've never been asked for a PIN before.

^^^
Try last 4 digits of credit card number used to purchase the flight.

[james170969]

Thanks but that doesn't work. I tried three times and it just takes me back to the same page and asks me for the reservation number and pin again. The flight time has only changed by 20 minutes. All it means is an extra 20 minutes drinking time when I get to Torremolinos!!

London Stansted and Comiso

Questor share tip: Ryanair plans to grow by more than a third - Telegraph

Interestingly, the same columnist also tips EasyJet today. Their strategies are diverging, as are their corporate financing models.

One million passengers and up to one thousand jobs at risk in Charleroi, said Ryanair today

Ryanair, la seule compagnie ultra-lost cost en Europe, a averti aujourd’hui (17 juillet) qu’elle sera contrainte de réduire son trafic de 17% si le gouvernement wallon confirme l’introduction d’une taxe de 3€ sur les billets d’avion

Briefly, the airline warned today that it will be forced to reduce its traffic in CRL by 17% if the Walloon government confirms the new tax on air tickets. The 3 € tax (per pax per one-way flight) is to be introduced as of January 1st, 2014.

Does anyone know when the Ryanair winter schedule for Ireland is going to be uploaded? There seems to be a lot of flights not on sale post the first week of November which is odd, but it seems that flights operated from other bases to Ireland are on there, as are flights to and from the UK.

[Alsacienne]

Don't quite understand why STN-SXB is being posted as a 'new' route seeing it is being currently served thrice weekly as part of a W operation to and from Oporto.

However, I would love to know how Ryanair managed to get back to SXB having slammed the door behind them so hard a few years ago ... only to take up residency at FKB.

The latest Ryanair captcha stage is a joke. I'm looking to arrange a flight for my daughter and suddenly expected to sit through a video to get a word to enter that allows me to give them my business.... Sorry but I just press reload until i get a straight forward word to enter.....and as it happens booked her with jet2 instead...Its not working like it used to..... change the model slightly and watch the business boom..

To : lexoncd. You don't have to sit through a video - after about five seconds there is an option to skip the ad.

[ajamieson]

If you found Ryanair's website too annoying, you probably wouldn't have enjoyed the actual journey...

[Transportraition]

To : ajamieson ' you probably wouldn't have enjoyed the actual journey...' Why do you say that ????

Does anyone know what airports in Spain Ryan have maintenance Mechs/CAT A mechs working? I know Barcelona since earlier but its doesnt say on their homepage what stations they have.

Thanks in advance.

^ They plan to open next year 3 new Maintenance Centres in Spain (still they do not have any). MAD, SVQ and BCN. As I am focused in SVQ, I know that in 2014 is due to open the new Maintenance Centre. They already have rented the fields Any further news would be great about this.

Regards

[Confirmpassword]

Ah, thanks a lot for the info. I guess they will start the recruitment "quite soon" then.

Well, it seems Ryanar was able not only to use, but also to save some public money

The [Irish] government says it was able to cut the costs of the European Union presidency thanks to Ryanair.
Brian Hayes says Ryanair offered a special fare of €49.99 for Irish politicians and diplomats travelling to Charleroi airport in Brussels.
The Junior Finance Minister said the fare offered good value for money when compared to the other options available to travellers.
The Irish EU presidency cost a total of €51 million which is €9 million less than originally planned.

I wonder how many of those politicians did use this offer and whether it was obligatory for them?

The EU discriminates against Ryanair and I think with loco's in general believe it or not, well at least that was the case in 2011.

Michael O'Leary gave a speech at the Innovation Convention in Brussels that year and was invited to the event with the EU offering to pay for his flight to/from Brussels Zaventem and with a driver awaiting his arrival - However MOL requested the driver pick him up at Charleroi on a flight from Dublin. He even offered to pay for it himself, they refused wanting him to fly to Zaventem. MOL arrived via taxi flying to Charleroi. Kind of sums up politics in general though?

Being honest I don't think there were a great deal of European ministers using those Ryanair flights especially not Barroso and Co., Irish TD's probably did though as well as Irish MEP's.

This classic EU bureaucratic thinking, and another tedious example of EU waste. MOL's probably going to get his ride to Charleroi (sorry, Brussels South) for free on a scheduled FR flight on staff travel, so why should he be forced to go to Zaventem at (yes, you guessed it) our expense.
