Ryanair - 9

[sprite1]

Sprite 1

After reading your pathetic posts can you please enlighten us as to why YOU HATE RYANAIR

As a BA Executive Club member BA is my first choice but if the fare is cheap for a quick breakaway I have no hesitation in flying Ryanair who incidentally are a much better airline than they were five years ago and I can't understand your point as to not giving your details on their website as Ayroplain points out this is common practice for most online purchases so why the big deal I just don't understand it!

Why do I hate Ryanair? You make it sound like it's something unusual!

I worked there for a number of years. When you see first-hand what goes on behind the scenes to make the fares as 'low' as they are and the planes push on time as often as they 'supposedly' do, it's hard to say, 'Yay!, thank god for MOL and his motley crew of middle managers for bringing in this near one click website.

Do people think in 18-24 months, they won't amend their terms & conditions to say we will now sell your details to third parties? 'Yeah, yeah, who cares', I hear the masses say. And that's if they actually notice! Now you have another layer of companies and their servers looking after your details.
Why don't you give them to me, I'll keep them safe, promise. And sure, it doesn't matter that you've never heard of me, I paid Ryanair good money for your details so he can repay the shareholders 500million in dividends, thanks to you!
Would you have approached these third parties independently beforehand? No, but it's ok to be cold contacted by them? How much money will Ryanair get? Surely, you should get a cut?

These airline data cultivation programs watch your browsing habits, working out how many times you'll browse before finally hitting buy. If you saw me outside your window, taking notes of how many people are in your house, when you're going away, how often and to where, let's just say you won't be inviting me in. So why invite Ryanair and numerous other third party companies salivating at the thought of their next million.

This is one of those never-ending arguments, ladies & gents. People will step over their burning granny, if it means getting to Malaga for £29. I wouldn't but as we agreed above, that's the choice we have with competition.

I'm sure O'Leary would agree.

Personally, I would've suggested retaining a link to purchase without registering/logging in.

Seems FR have joined the package holiday market:

Ryanair vows to undercut package holiday market with Ryanair Holidays

The Ryanair response to Jet2/holidays entering their main base perhaps!

There was a time about 18 months ago when wondering when they would hit 100 million, at this rate 150 million is 2 years or so away.

Hey folks -
Long time lurker, first time poster. Out of curiosity, anyone happen to know a (ballpark) figure of how many 1L bottles of alcohol and 200 packs of cigarettes are typically carried on Ryanair flights for on-board Duty Free? I gather it varies depending on the route? Also, interested to know if the alcohol and cigarettes would typically be carried on-board, even for non-IntraEU flight legs?



Cheers!

Bosch2016, mentioned goods only loaded for extraEU flights. No figures though.

[rogera]

I had my first ever Ryanair flight on Wednesday this week from LPL to DUB and back for the day on EI - FOF which according to flight radar 24 was delivered new in January this year. I must say I was impressed. Clean, modern aircraft, flight was on time both ways, helpful and friendly crew.

Sounds like you intend to buy them out. Boy will you be popular.................not joking either.

You do raise a point as once Brexit occurs everything will be Duty Free from UK.

[Bosch2016]

Thanks for the replies FA10 and racedo - appreciate it.


I guess I'm hoping a Ryanair crew member could shed some light on the approx. numbers of bottles & 200 packs typically carried onboard for the extraEU flights.


The InFlight magazine mentions that in relation to Duty Free, they may not carry a particular item onboard and that the crew can offer alternatives, and so I was curious for example, on a flight from Morocco->London (or indeed London->Paris post-Brexit) how many 1L bottles of Duty Free alcoholic drinks and/or 200 pack of cigarettes they'd typically carry for an extraEU flight?


Might any Ryanair crew be willing/able to give some insight on this?


Thanks folks!

If I understand the licensing thing correctly, it is this: any EU based airline can operate between any EU states and within an EU state. Easyjet seems to be having pains with Brexit because it's AOC is UK based. Once Brexit is completed the talk is it will need an EU AOC to operate into or within the EU.
If that is true how will RYR's UK based operations be affected? It operates within UK on internal flights & STN is its biggest base. How will that still be allowed with an EU/IAA AOC? I haven't heard any discussion about its plans.

[Millionmileshigh]

I've wondered this as well, i recall an interview with someone from cityjet (ceo possibly) saying they were concerned they may lose their fifth freedom rights to operate to the continent from LCY, and that they would only be allowed to operate to the UK from Ireland. An exaggeration maybe, but it does raise the question.

The UK and Ireland have always had their own deals outside of the EU though, so maybe a UK company will be allowed to own an airline with an Irish AOC and vice versa?

[racedo]

Ryanair did have a UK AOC when it was operating EA Airlines or some name like that from Luton in late 80's early 90's.

If there is an issue I see Ryanair getting a UK AOC relatively easily.

If UK Govt plays hardball then could see BA being a loser as reckon a few countrys would like to ban their use of Heathrow as a transit airport.

If BA couldn't sell through tickets then they would have to charge APD to everyone.

Not sure even crew would be au fait with the details.

Likely Retail Sales operation at Ryanair plan the range that will be available across the network. This done on basis of historical sales plus a look at passengers / events occuring and a view on route.

So a flight to Paris for weekend of 6 nations likely have lots of beer on board where as flight on way to Grannys convention then lots of Gin.............. etc.

They also acquired the AOC of Buzz (Air UK) when they purchased them in the 00's. Wonder if they still have it or if it's expired?

[davidjohnson6]

If necessary, how hard would it be for a large EU airline to set up a UK licenced subsidiary ? I'm guessing that if Norwegian can do it, then Ryanair can as well. Even Easyjet managed it in Switzerland when they were a much smaller and less well resourced company.
