Anyone considered they may drop LGW for STN.

Or because they cancelled your flights from BFS hours before your departure. Oh sorry that was Ryanair.

Looking at the FR schedule re STN it looks like there is available time for a 2hr - 2.15 min return flight to get back to BFS before the last flight to STN

Any guesses? BRU, DUS, MAD??

Ryanair are clearly relying on Easyjet not caring about STN as much as they did with LGW. Not so sure that'll be the case and an embarrassing withdrawal no matter what way they dress it up.

With Ryanair stopping Gatwick does that mean the slots will be made available to bid again for Belfast-Gatwick like what happened when Aer Lingus pulled the route?

Yay.
So LGW to Victoria = 30 mins.
STN to Victoria = 1:09 - 1:30
You truly do get what you pay for.
Business travelers are going to love that.

To be honest I can't see an airline picking up the slots are quickly as we think they would... however the only 3 real possibilities are
BA
Flybe
Norwegian

All allowing for connections through LGW unlike Ryanair although Norwegian would only be for their own routes

So Ryanair withdraw the LGW service for the winter, start selling summer seats to LGW saying it will resume March 2018.Oh sorry we have changed our mind it will be STN instead.So more hassle for people who have booked LGW foe summer 2018.What way is this to do business. Punters well and truely p off.

I have to agree with the last post, really bad management. Ryanair keep on behaving like this they will end up in trouble, there is always a tipping point.

They're putting together quite a long haul portfolio from LGW in fairness, quite a few Far East destinations in the pipeline.

Getting the feeling that Ryanair swapping LGW/STN is the end of the world. Still got EZY on the BFS-LGW route so no need to worry too much...

SIN loads are reportedly dire, I wouldn't bet the bank on this working out. Huge expansion West followed by big push East, whilst drawing down profitable short haul to bet on higher yielding long haul. That's a LOT of balls not to drop. Norwegian wouldn't pick up UK domestic at the same time as all of that would they?

Why is a previous poster obsessing with Victoria?..
I`m sure a business man was once spotted North of the Thames.
I`m led to believe there may be one at least in the Cambridge corridor too.
As to a "tipping point" for RYR...never going to happen is it...They influence markets & loadings with just a tweak of the fares website.

I think you will find Liverpool Street and Canary Walf is more of a business destination and I must back up southside bobby on this one why the talk on the business man getting to Victoria ?

Btw I wouldn't be sure another aircraft is being based. The crew could be from Stansted and taking over the Derry route.

Very un characteristic of Ryanair. Is there more to it or just losing a lot of money and they can compete better at STN where it's cheaper.

Um? Stansted to Liverpool Street is under 30 minutes and is right into the centre of London, near the Financial district. I don't see what the issue is?
