Will Lviv become the new stag territory for Brits, replacing Amsterdam or Prague ? Really hope not - Lviv in particular is a lovely city

[jdcg]

Couldn't agree more. It's a delightful city.
Keep those stags away!!

[AerRyan]

You may be adding 1+1 together and getting 1000 there.

I thought my map skills in geography was pretty good until practically every Ryanair press release these days has me thinking 'where the hell is that?'

Wonder will they be doing routes in Russia in conjunction with Russian Govt next year for WC2018.

Bearing in first game could be St Petersbrug, next in Sochi and next in Kazan it means you will have thousands of fans travelling and Rail is 32 hrs, car is 2 days etc

Same is true of the previous 2. Why not spread the load and give AMS & PRG a rest. They deserve it.

[Sober Lark]

Lviv sounds interesting RAT5. Wish I could pronounce it. I remember a group of tourists I was with in Dublin,( Dun Laoghaire to be precise) looking out across Dublin bay to Howth and thinking it was the coast of France. Glad I passed no comment as Lviv now bites me. Is it pronounced 'Live'?

[inOban]

I suspect that there are several different pronunciations because it's been in several different countries over the past hundred years. Certainly is was in Poland before the war. I think it's pronounced levoof, but I'm sure Google will tell you.

[racedo]

Lviv was indeed part of Poland before the Ukrainians under Bandera slaughtered 100,000 plus Poles in conjunction with the Nazi's. His statue now adorns the city as some kind of "hero" and has a main street named after him by city Government who glorifies him.

A place I fully intend to avoid visiting.

[TBSC]

If you wish to avoid visiting all places where the government is doing stupid things then you have to start avoiding Hungary, Poland, the States ... and the UK as well.

Govts do stupid things but when the people who live there venerate a Nazi who engaged in genocide then it is very different.
Would you go to Linz if they celebrated Adolf ?

[davidjohnson6]

Much as I sympathise with racedo on this (after reading up on what happened, I now have rather different feelings about my previous trip to Lviv given my personal background), could I very respectfully suggest trying to keep the discussion in this thread to Ryanair, and move discussion of genocide to a separate thread ? There genuinely is a place for such a discussion, but this thread really doesn't seem the right place.

For the record, I have chosen very deliberately to keep well away from Linz and Nuremberg

Last OT: people with limited mental capability "venerate" clowns like Trump or Orban (while only 20% of the population voted for the latter) but that does not make NY or Budapest a bad place on an average Friday morning. Ukraines have not very much national heroes and even if he's a disgusting one it's still slightly better for all of us than if they'd venerate Putin.

Back to the topic: LWO is a challenging airport in winter season for the frequent low visibility vs. **** ILS and their (not quite) world famous snow cleaning techniques (10-10m ploughed from the centerline makes a perfectly clear runway for them).

[Seljuk22]

Any one knows are has a good link to a source where I can find out how many aircrafts are based at each FR base in the next summer?

Right now they have a fleet of 377 B737-800

I thought O'Leary always said he would avoid FRA.

25 minute turnarounds will surely be a major difficulty there.
