Ryanair Website Stoops to New Low.

Just went to have a look at flights for half term.

"CLOSING DOWN SALE! CELEBRATING OUR COMPETITORS CLOSING"

www.ryanair.com

:yuk::mad:

I'd rather stay at home in the rain.

[BigBoeing]

Very true, spare a thought for all those losing jobs etc. However their advertising tactics aside, I need to get from Stansted to Glasgow in a few months, easyjet fairly expensive, train ridiculously expensive with added hassle of going through London, Ryanair £10 return all inclusive, paid with Electron card, no bags, no extra cost. Can't complain with their sale.

click on the Ryan 2009 calender sale link

Preorder calender BUT it states "2009 charity to be annouced shortly " (maybe its the fuel fund:E)

[dope05]

I have got to admit admiring MOL, when everybody else is moaning, he gets on with it. "When the going gets tough!..............."

[flowy50]

Thats how sick ryanair are cloting over other airlines bad luck . never mind the worm will turn one day but mol would have done a runner by then.:mad:

[B738bbjsim]

Has MOL got a crystal ball? Are they making predictions? The last airline I remember failing was Zoom and the nearest I recon RYR get to across the pond is the Emerald Isle! :rolleyes:

[AltFlaps]

O'Leary - you are SCUM

[Johnny F@rt Pants]

Big Boeing,

The only problem is that FR:yuk: will drop you off at Prestwick:uhoh:, and by the time you've messed about getting the train:rolleyes:, and paid the rail fare:{ you've probably not had that good a deal:ugh:.

[Der absolute Hammer]

Yes but there is this north country expression....

'Where there's muck there's brass'.

It is very good advertising and from the public view, probably very funny too.
Also, he promises more sales next year when another airline goes bust. Next time an airline does, the public will look to Ryan for another special deal.
It is very clever.The man is a manager not a pilot.

[B738bbjsim]

Can't wait for Ryanair Hotels cheaper if you don't want a bed! :zzz:

[captjns]

Can't fault MOL for the demise of ZOOM or the BK of Alitalia. But business is business and it will be survival of the fittest.

[Kempus]

PIK to Glasgow by train is rather cheap actually! Show your ticket and I think its under a tenner!

[daz211]

For :mad: sake you just dont get it do you !

If you ran a shop and another shop started selling the same things next door then it went out of business would you be happy :confused:.

If you had some chav living next door then they moved out
would you be happy :confused:.

So what is wrong with MOL celebrating :confused:.

[763 jock]

Perhaps I don't get it! I work for a charter airline, bit I wouldn't celebrate the loss of other peoples jobs. I lost mine many years ago and remember it well.

The Prestwick to Glasgow journey is direct from the Terminal to the rail station and very cheap if you are flying. It can be quicker than fighting the M8 in from Glasgow Airport if you're going into Central Glasgow ! I am going home up to PIK next month on a free ticket, well I say free I had to pay £10 tax each way, so £20, well I say £20 it also costs £8 each way to pay by any means......so £36 which is pretty damned good considering.

There's no honor amongst thiefs...


















But then again, how many Ryanair (related) threads are on Pprune...?:D

[Der absolute Hammer]

Look at it this way?
MOL is protecting the jobs of those who work for him.
They cannot leave Ryanair now, in today's market, so be grateful!
It is also very good advertising.

[PAXboy]

If you complain about this particular advertising push of FR's then you have already helped MoL in his advertising push.

It also means that you have failed to understand how FR works. To say that they have changed the whole game is an understatement. If you don't like them, don't fly them. Oh yes, and don't repeat their advertising for them because they love it when everyone gives them free advertising!

[JulietNovemberPapa]

My Big Boss doesn't know much about airlines - like almost everyone who flies - but he emailed me saying how he's going to book a flight as a part of FR's 'CLOSING DOWN SALE.'

[daz211]

So its working then :ok:.

[dicksorchard]

Well i got 3 Rtn flightsfrom liverpool to Reus in October for an amazing £6 !

yup £1 each way no taxes & as i travel light no add ons for bags etc .

I have a flight booked for Dublin £5 rtn

2 Rtn flights to Alicante in November for £70 .

All great flight times .

Did someone mention a credit crunch ?

You don't need credit with Ryanair's great sales pitch !

The general public only care about gettin their bums on seats and as far away from this country as possible .... the old adage as long as im alright jack !!

thats as sad fact of life and im going to stick with Ryanair when i can get away for less than the price of a pint ..I wud be mad not too

[rothin]

It's as if MOL does this deliberately to generate free publicity but us Ppruners are far too smart to fall for that little trick here.....

....oh hang on...:ugh:

[cdtaylor_nats]

Good taste was never an issue in advertising. Remember the advert BAe ran in Flight after the Falklands? A two page spread with their missiles pictured and "Combat Tested" stamped across them.
