Hand baggage
 
I'm flying with Ryanair tomorrow, and I've just received this email (even though it doesn't apply to me as I'm not travelling to/from the UK or Poland).

"Due to the ongoing government security restrictions passengers departing from UK and Polish airport, each passenger can carry only ONE item of HAND baggage up to 10kg and with maximum dimensions NOT exceeding 45cm (length), 35ch (width) and 16cm (depth). These dimensions include the wheels, handles, side pockets, etc.

N.B. These restricted hand baggage dimensions are smaller than our published hand baggage dimensions.

Passengers who arrive at A uk airport with hand baggage exceeding the above maximum permitted dimensions will be required to check in the bag and
pay a checked bag fee of £5.00 (per bag per flight) or if they are over the maximum 20kg baggage allowance per person, pay an excess baggage fee of £5.50 per kilo."

What are they trying to say? That when you bought you agreed to the terms and conditions and were told at that moment that 10kg or free hand baggage was allowed with 55cm x 40cm x 20cm dimensions, but now if you arrive with those dimensions you have to pay!!! Force me to check it in, ya no problem, but don't make me pay for it!

Glad this doesn't apply to my travel plans this weekend, saves me from having to bring them to the small claims court...

WEF 01st Sept Ryanairs baggage fee's increased to £3.50 (if booked with res) or £7.00 at the airport, in addition if you use the INET check in & your hand Baggage is larger than the 45x35x16 UK Limit you get to pay the £7.00 bag fee + because you've checked in a bag you have to be issued a boarding card (not the A4 scrap of paper you've already printed) at, wait for it £12.50. an extra £19.50 on your ticket.
Of course this is hidden within the T & C's & its the H/A's that will have to enforce it or MOL's secret squirells (Mystery pax) will be on the case.
Oh deep joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New BGY routes
 
Route map showing new Milano routes ;)

This may sound stupid, but what are the new routes for BGY?

To answer the above it's WRO and GRX from BGY.

"Ryanair will launch three new routes from Dublin this February. The new destinations are to Malta, Stockholm and the Canary Islands. The airline also will also increase frequencies from Dublin to Berlin, Rome, Malaga and Faro."

Just a quick question.

FR fly VBS to STN, but VRN to HHN - why do they use the 2 airports that are SO close together, surely it would be more economical to use either or,

well obviously it ISN'T, otherwise FR would do it, but anyone know WHY they split like this?

jabird 4th Sep 2006 11:58

"well obviously it ISN'T, otherwise FR would do it, but anyone know WHY they split like this?"

Presumably some deal with the local operator - afaik, same 'company' manage both airports, so my guess would be that they have the capacity at VRN, and more concession will benefit, but not to the point that they'd want to move existing ops from VBS.

I presume they aren't flying to "Canary Islands East" (Laayoune), so any guesses what they mean by this - the long awaited TFN announcement, or one of Shamrock's Canaris hubs?

toledoashley 4th Sep 2006 12:06

I think we could expect TFN and maybe LPA?/FUE? for the winter - could they also operate into La Palma?

There is also add more frequencies from BGY to GRO from 14 to 17 x week.

Tooloose 4th Sep 2006 17:13

Why would they want to go toTFN? Wouldn't TFS make more sense?

toledoashley 4th Sep 2006 17:22

Going to TFS would mean that they are operating into what is already a saturated market - TFN would operate with little competition and improve links to Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Maria.

Because its a second rate airport, so will be cheaper!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

Los Rodeos (Tenerife North) is used mainly for domestic flights despite having a longer runway (2400m) as Tenerife South (2200m) and the South is just so much more convinient for tourist than Tenerife North, which also has few daily flights.

sToCkHoLm :confused: Great to here it, but I am fairly surprised given the whole kerfuffle over the new Swedish aviation tax :suspect:

johnrizzo2000 4th Sep 2006 18:59

I dont think i would like a DUB-LPA/TFS with FR! Sometimes with winds, that can be close to 5hrs! 5hrs on FR sounds like hell to me! Even 4 hrs sound bad!

Curious Pax 4th Sep 2006 19:02

Really? Southwest carried over 41 million passengers in the first 6 months of this year, which equates to nearly 7 million per month. Interestingly the number of passengers enplaned in the period was over 47 million, or nearly 8 million a month. Given that they had 462 737s on the 30th June 2006, compared to Ryanair's 107 this isn't a great surprise!
