It's on u tube , cannot copy the link,
Was good to hear not one laugh, bang goes that OBE
Unlike other Irish citizens who I believe have requried Irish Govt approval he would not have been asking them.
Even the offer of something like this would have caused him to laugh out loud and then do nothing.

What a shame 'The Tower' is not an option for a non-UK miscreant abusing Herself outside Her domain.
IF every country had similar views that abusing a head of state, meant you should be sent to that country for punishment, Airlines would be very very busy.

Those remarks were insulting and in poor taste, regardless of whether they were directed at a head of state, or any other woman!

MOL is certainly a very competent................

There were some smiling faces in the crowd I noticed.

But then again there is always someone who is going to get offended.. even if it's just saving face for the constituent vote ballot next year.

Its one of those massively important and bad taste jokes that people will not remember in a weeks time.

With all this love going around will the grunts be getting some water and crew catering for their days work?

Yeah, it's not bad. I don't think the Fare Finder is that great yet, but perhaps it will improve.

New website

I'm really don't like the new website... I like to fly on impulse, so I see where has convenient flights for me, looks a good place to visit... And importantly it's cheap! It's really awkward to find routes from airports, especially if you don't know them... Maybe when a mobile version is released it might be better, or maybe I just don't like change... Time will tell

I assume the pool table is coin operated? Queue ball costing extra?

I always use Skyscanner as V flexible and on Ryanair use its map of routes.

According to The Portugal News
The Lisbon-Faro route that Irish low-cost airline Ryanair inaugurated on Tuesday is to be suspended after 24 April a spokesman from airport manager ANA told Lusa News Agency.

The airline told ANA of the decision on Thursday, just three days after starting the flights without any justification.
Nothing new in fact, a typical routine "try-and-dump" policy. Once again it seems pointless to compete with buses and trains where they are fast and/or cheap enough. What bothers me, it's a different observation.

Many new routes between main airports are not very likely to achieve any profitability this year. Far from that in fact. Like many BRU Zaventem routes, for example. Even for May almost every flight BRU - FCO still costs only 19,99 euro. I think Zaventem charges more. In contrary prices from some minor airports are sky-high, fortunately for FR.

My conclusion is that while some changes to FR policies were unavoidable, the (already visible) improvements in attitude towards their customers may turn to be much more crucial while only time will tell if switching to bigger airports helps them as much as expected.
