Anybody booked on the free flights...yes FREE (well, 1p!)
I payed 2p return for an MAN to DUB flight in October. I actually payed the 4GBP for the online check-in etc, but still - 2p!! No Creditcard fees, no Government tax, no 'wheelchair tax'...nothing. |
I have! Just booked 4 of us for a day trip trip Dublin. Everything came to 0.08 pence!!! No taxes, charges or anything! Have a look on airliners.net, people have booked like 5 return trips each! LOL. It's rude not to book flights for that price even if you don't bother turning up for them. I have booked some flights on the off chance I will actually be able to go!

This latest Ryanair scheme must surely be getting their shareholders worried. Giving away seats for ten euro plus all the credit card fees is one thing, but giving them away for free and absorbing all the airport and government taxes is just plain silly. Sure they get loads of publicity, but suffered a booking service outage for almost three hours this afternoon plus every passenger they carry will cost them money. For starters, many of their routes incur full airport charges as the deals have expired, plus for every "Free" passenger they carry out of the UK, they pay the Browne/Blair Bank ten pounds. Even if every "free" seat only cost them on average ten euros in taxes and charges, there's ten million quid to subsidise a silly publicity stunt.
Then there's the reaction of the shareholders, who no doubt will be delighted when Ryanairs set factor is back to normal next month, having forgotten that they had to give away the seats to achieve it - not? What a load of tosh - Ryanair need to realise that, if you can't give it away for ten euors, you are producing too much. They must have massive over capacity relative to demand at the moment - can't remember the last FR flight I was on where the first six rows were not closed off. The bubble has burst - what next? |

Analysts said the new approach was to lure passengers from rivals as Ryanair increased flights to France, Italy and Spain as part of a planned 27 per cent growth in capacity this year. They said the airline would want to ensure the new aircraft which are joining its fleet to serve the routes were filled. Further expansion is due to be announced by Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's chief executive, at East Midlands airport today. The experts predicted airlines such as Alitalia, Iberia and Air Berlin could be hardest hit, while Ryanair said it was also stepping up the pressure on British Airways and EasyJet. Nick Van den Brul, an aviation analyst with brokers Exane BNP Paribas, said: "To keep load factors [proportion of seats filled] up, Ryanair will have to discount seats, effectively starting a new price war." However, he warned that the free tickets could lead to Ryanair increasing the price of other seats on some flights to maintain revenue levels. |
FR could be busy today with Porto and EMA (reported in the Scotsman). Porto-EMA anyone?
