AMS meet late August ?

Looks like Fly Globespan are going to commence double daily GLA-AMS services using the 737-600 from around the 19th of August. The good thing about that is looking at the flight timings, it looks like a day trip is now feasible instead of having to overnight due to the timings of competitor services from the likes of KLM and Easyjet.

So… does anyone fancy proposing a date for a forum meet at Schipol ?

But at least easyjet offers several days to pick from so that makes sense. Ryanair did not.

Yes, but that can still be done by simply clicking ‘next day’ or ‘previous day’ on the Ryanair website, all that easyJet have done is remove that and stick one day in either side….. *wondering why I’m sticking up for FR* ๐Ÿ˜‰

It’s not just Ryanair, any airline where the flight is only one a day and you try and start from the airport which doesn’t have the based aircraft is going to end up in this situation. For example, AMS-EDI-AMS:

I see what you mean, Ryanair have still got it wrong though.

what he is saying is that the outbound leaves after the inbound flight ๐Ÿ™‚

From EIN. But how couldn’t it if it has to arrive from STN first? :confused: All is shows is that a day-trip isn’t possible from EIN.

no, read carefully!

The flight leaves 09:10 from EIN and arrives STN 09:15.
The return flight back to EIN leaves the same day at 06:45!

This is impossible even when counting in the time difference of one hour! Shoddy programming of Ryanair’s scheduling prgram.

Obviously a STN based aircraft? But it is bookable all the way through? If so than more fool the customer for not looking carefully. :p

How about this for an interesting intinerary. I realise Ryanair does rapid turnarounds, but time travel?

The first flight of day originates from Stansted, lands in EIN at 0845, and then departs again at 0910.

Errrr… dont think you quite understand that LOL, flight leaves STN 06:45, arrived Eindhoven 08:45, departing EIN 09:10 arriving back 09:15. The shortness of the return flight is due to the time difference.

I’ll look into it. Although these days, the cheapest way for me to get to AMS for the day would probably be GSM too if they announce, thanks to EZY cutting back to 1x daily at EDI. :rolleyes: ๐Ÿ˜€

I’ll definitely be up for it and I expect A330Crazy would be, too, but he’ll just need to confirm that. ๐Ÿ™‚

Excellent, would be good to see you there! Now all we need is for FlyGlobespan to confirm those flights….
