” Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline today (9th Jan) announced its 24th European base in Bournemouth on England’s South Coast. From April, Ryanair will base one $70m Boeing 737-800 aircraft which will serve 5 new routes to Malaga, Murcia, Nantes, Palma and Wrocław operating alongside Ryanair’s 7 existing routes from Bournemouth to Alicante, Barcelona, Dublin, Glasgow, Marseille, Milan and Pisa. Capacity on the Glasgow route will be doubled to allow for day return traffic, providing a significantly cheaper option for passengers than the high fares charged by Flybe from neighbouring Southampton “

Adam,
You’re right that Flybe fly to Glasgow (which doesn’t have a rail link to the city)
Pity they hardly fly to Bristol despite their claim to be the South Wests original low cost airline.
It’s a bit like Coca Cola advertising they’re the original cola if they’d stopped making it!
They’re all pushing the limits of advertising
