Limited to the notorious seat 11A..?

oh wow, all the effort that’s gone into THAT, no ta!

Have FR fully released their winter 24/25 schedules yet? If not, anyone know when this will happen?

24/25 schedule is nearly finished !!!!!

Haha! My bad! Winter 25/26 is what I meant.

I have a related question : there are no flights loaded beyond the end of October for Basel. Has the Basel-Dublin route fallen victim to Ryanair's protest against changes and limits at the Dublin end, or are they giving up their Basel operations entirely ?

No routes are on sale yet for the winter timetable yet. I think last year they started loading them about May time.

Unless you’re being specific to Dublin to Basel, then I’m afraid you’re very wrong. Various routes from BFS for winter 25/26 have been on sale for a while.

First Challenger 3500, registered M-ABSU, arrived at STN yesterday. Heading up to EMA and back later today.

Ryanair winter 25/26
 

Don't know if anyone is in the know but I'll ask anyway. Ryanair have loaded some schedules for winter up until March 26 mainly from their biggest base Stansted, however there's nothing loaded as yet for many destinations from Birmingham and Manchester after October 25, making it impossible to plan anything for the winter, anyone know what's taking them so long?

Hello chizlit and welcome to PPRuNe. There is a dedicated thread for RyanAir and I am going to move your enquiry there. Please stay around in the 'cabin' of PPRuNe.

Thanks for the welcome and putting my post in the correct place, hopefully someone might know something.

a bit of "googling" shows the time frame for the announcement of Winter 2025/6 flights to be April or May.

Do you not think I've tried that?
In contacting Ryainair they've said schedules are published 6 months before who h would mean early April at the latest, however that doesn't explain why some routes are already available until March 2026 while many are still not on place, coupled with the fact the likes of easyJet and Jet 2 already have routes in place.

I'm afraid FR are very much a "speciality" company who do things there own way.

You'll find @Matt995 to be a very helpful person who, I'm sure, was not trying to "teach you how to suck eggs".

Anyway, welcome to Pprune.

Ok, no offense was meant to Matt.
Yes I know they do things their own way, and if their way is risking losing business to other airlines then that's on them 😄.

Schedule release
 

It is fairly straightforward when it comes to BHX (can't say I have checked other airports), the flights on sale are the ones their competitors have had on sale for ages and they seriously run the risk of losing bookings as these can be traditional earlier bookers in most cases.

BHX to has Alicante (LS & U2), BCN (LS, U2 & VY), FUE (LS, U2 & TOM), LPA (LS, U2 & TOM, ACE (LS, U2 & TOM), TFS (LS, U2 TOM) are all released but the ones with no or little competition PMI, RMU, FAO are not released, the same for the cities bar Beauvais which of course competes heavily with U2 and AF.

I was surprised at Verona, which is released but this of course counts as ski (TOM is the only competitor) and all the other ski routes are on sale as already, as they tend to also be early bookers. Another route that I would doubt gets many early bookers which is on sale is Dublin but of course that is another highly competitive route.

That does make total sense from their point of view, and for people who want to go to Spain they're covered by multiple airlines, sadly for me Spain isn't for me, so I'll just go on waiting to see if routes will load soon or whether the routes will be culled.
