Ryanair Summer 2018
 

Does anyone know when Ryanair will begin to revealing their Summer 18 schedule - none have been done so far AFAIK.

It was Mid July when Ryanair started press releases for their Summer 17 schedules with NCL being their first release I believe.

Based on the regional newspaper "Mallorca Zeitung" FR is now No.1 airline at PMI surpassing AB/HG in the 1st half of 2017.

EW, EZY, VY and UX on the following positions.

If this trend continues this newspaper need to establish an English website...

They are certainly more demanding than others on ID front.

Between UK and Ireland you can travel on a photographic Driving License. Well you can with Aer Lingus. As a colleague found out on his return journey you cannot with Ryan Air.

On 17 august last year, Ryanair charged on the website all Italian routes.

Could someone explain how to make a booking on the Ryanair website without logging-in.
I don't know my password and the password recovery facility simply does not work.

A passport is required to fly from UK to ROI on FR. It's the only ID document option on the drop-down menu when you check-in online.

Wouldn't be the first time Ryanair was the holder of a UK AOC. After they took over Buzz they had one for a while to cover the different type of aircraft that came with the deal. It mostly consisted of a bored but official man in an office and everything else was run from Ryanair proper. With their since vastly expanded uk based stuff, including heavy maintenance facilities, they could easily regain one, or buy another.

That well known subsidiary springs to mind - Ryanair (UK) Ltd. I'm sorry, I did promise not to go on but if Ryanair wish to operate from UK bases after Brexit - they bloody well will. I know several ways to do it and I'm relatively thick (no, in the context of this subject I'm plain thick). They can employ the smartest legal brains around to make it happen. The biggest issue is cost. Far better that FR and others hammer away to ensure that whatever changes take place they are as as seamless and as near the status quo as possible. And who could blame the boss for speaking as he does? Not me, just believe it's best not to take him literally at all times.

First new route for Summer'18 has been announced today

Budapest-Santander from April 2018

Later than usual. Suppose we'll start seeing the releases soon.

They say that flights are bookable six months in advance, so they have until the 25th September!
I would have thought that with the uncertainty over Alitalia, Air Berlin and the UK economy, the LCCs will be leaving it as late as possible to fix their schedules for S18.

Will Ryanair keep to his word about moving aircraft from UK bases?
He could transfer a load of aircraft overseas in march a year earlier to show the inpacked on the UK...

I think he is all talk but let's see what happens

Plenty of airports to base the excess. I can't see a whole pull out, but certainly a selected retrench. UK airports are going to gave to offer him (O'Leary) a sweetener to stay thanks to the out brigade.

Bearing in mind Euro - GBP rate could be 1 Euro - 95 pence then UK tourists heading abroad may be hot very hard.

Munich (MUC) will join the Ryanair network with double daily flights to DUB (maybe more destinations to follow?) starting 29th October

August up 10%, LF 97%. It seems to me that they have been restricting capacity growth, so as to increase average fare. Am I right?

Aren't they getting the many new planes into service as soon as they can get them?

Second carry on bag scrapped from November for non priority passengers. Any bags with wheels for non priority will be placed in hold.

Check in fees have been cut and allowance increased.

Is there a press release anywhere for this ? (from Ryanair)
