I am a regular Ryanair flyer but that doesn’t necessarily make me an instant fan. I use them simply because they are cheap and they alone would have allowed me to travel abroad 11 times between January and June this year.

I can understand why people are miffed when things like this happen, I really can. However, as long as they are cheap, people will fly with them and be prepared to put up with their antics. Eventually, everyone will have had a bad Ryanair experience and then it won’t be news any longer.

When flying Ryanair, I apply this philosophy – “If I expect nothing then I can’t be disappointed!”

Given the choice, I’d much rather fly with easyJet (and I’d much rather fly from LTN than STN too!)

Hi purser

Welcome aboard. This forum is soopoib. Full of good info and fabbo pictures. You’ll have hours of fun here.

Also, no-one has mentioned it yet but it is customary for the new guy to get the pints in – so, it’s your round. Guinness please! 😀

Thanks for the info Dan777. I quite fancy trying out Slovakia itself. It would be a shame, in my opinion, if the airline was to transport people to Slovakia only for them to then travel out of the country to a neighbouring land.

However, I can see the appeal of Vienna being so close and I don’t suppose the airline will mind as long as there are bums on them seats!!

A million brownie points will be awarded to the first person to book a flight to Bratislava with this airline and report it on this thread.

Now, there’s a competition!!!

Bugger!!!

Hi Guys.

Was really interested in trying to make it to MAN on 10th July but I’m afraid it’s not going to be possible as things stand. I’m off to AMS with Wingflaps2 on the 9th July for day (back late that evening) and then the 11th July (early morning) we’re off to GIB for 4 days. To get up so early the day in between and get back late from MAN on the 10th and the drive involved, would just be a killer for me

However, I am hopeful that your meet goes well and that there can be another one arranged at some point. If so, I look forward to meeting you all next time. I’m really gutted – would have been a good excuse to revisit MAN – not been there since the days of Business Air flying me down from DND for the day!! Would have been nice to visit my friends at the Monarch Scheduled Ticket Desk too – say hi to them from Dean if you see them!!

I’ll keep myself informed about future events:( – but feel free to let me know.

Dean.

very good!!

Just found the photo on Airliners.net – it was taken at JFK. Therefore, that mustn’t be an AF A320 – it does look a bit bigger than an A320 to be honest……..so the next question is:

Which aircraft type (besides the Concorde) is the Air France in the picture???
