Easyjet today announced they will start flights from LTN to BTS

Today easyJet welcomes yet another Eastern European destination to its network when it launches services to Bratislava from London Luton Airport. The daily services are from £40.98 return including tax and the airline expects to carry almost 100,000 passengers on the route in the first year.

easyJet is now the low-cost leader for flights to Eastern Europe, serving eight cities in seven countries with 30 flights a day. With an increase in its operations to the region by a phenomenal 500%, the largest low cost carrier for Eastern Europe expects to carry 2.6million passengers on these new routes in the next 12 months.

To celebrate the launch of Bratislava, the gateway to Slovakia and Austria, easyJet will be hosting a free classical concert playing the works of Mozart and Vivaldi at the Milton Keynes shopping centre today, Wednesday 8 December. As well as being able to find out more about the destination, there will be a chance for shoppers to win flights to the Slovakian Capital.

Not only is Bratislava a beautiful neoclassical, gothic and yet modern city, it is great value for money as well as a short journey across the Austrian border to the stunning city of Vienna, which means visitors can combine two classic city tours into one trip.

Bratislava is situated on the banks of the Danube, overlooked by a 15th century castle and has many cultural and historic attractions in its compact and pedestrians old town which also has a vibrant cafe culture.

Vienna is a magnificent city, thriving in cultural history, with splendid imperial architecture and a centre for the arts and the world’s music capital. With attractions as varied as art galleries to the giant Ferris wheel, or opera performances to the famed horse ballet at the Spanish Riding School, there is something for everyone. Strolling around in the footsteps of the Habsburgs, admiring the regal surroundings, it is easy to understand why the city was such an inspiration to the great music composers.

easyJet CEO Ray Webster said:

“easyJet continues to recognise the great potential for expansion into Eastern Europe and we are delighted to begin operating flights to the beautiful City of Bratislava. As the gateway to Slovakia and Austria, we expect Bratislava to attract both business and leisure passengers.

easyJet flights to and from Eastern Europe have grown by a phenomenal 500% in the last year and we now operate to eight cities, in seven Countries, carrying over 2.6 million passengers a year, making easyJet the clear low cost leader for Eastern Europe”

Wednesday 8 December 2004, 11.00 – 15.00

This comes only days after Austrain announced they would be discontinuing there Bratislava-London route.

The return jorney started off quite apprubtly.We had been dlayed in Liverpool street due to some of the girls geeting lost.We missed our train and had to get a later one which had more stops and would take over an hour.
We got to check in only to be told by a rather snooty cow that there was only 2 mintues left and she couldnt check us in.
Well one of my teachers go quite cross and dememaned a manager to come out.
The agent was visibilly shocked and got her supervisor out.
Now I wouldt associate Ryanair with time travel but all of a sudden there was 8 minutes left so we were checked in and heaed to a packed secuirity area.

The previous day I had done some detective work and found out that the aircraft we would be taking operated DUB-STN-DERRY-STN-DUB.
I rememered hearing that Ryanair were going to pull out of Derry becasue the 800 couldnt take off there.
So chances were it would be a 200 but I wasnt getting my self excited.
We passed through secuirity which was packed with passenger travelling on a EZY service to BFS aswell a EL AL flight to Tel Aviv.
We got on the train and got off at the second stop.

It was a rush to the gate and straight down the stairs without having time to look out the windows.I got to the bottom only for it to hit me.EI-CNW a 200 was sitting waiting for me.Back door was blocked so it was front door.I took a window seat just behind the wing so I could see the reverse thrust.
Altough we checked in late we were not the last to board so I got my window.
Normal procedure followed and I saw Air Berlin dreamliner.2 Dreamliners in one day.Lucky eh?
Also around was a few EZY,FRs as well as 3 Air Berlin and 1 Germanwings.
We followed the EZY flight to Belfast.It took off and we waited for another to land.
Behind us was the LY to TLV,Fed EX MD11 and channel express 737.
We lined up on 23 and off we went.Not as noisy as I thought it would be.It was dark so no pictures.
I again had a BLT and a bottle of water to get rid of my coins.
We then began our descent which the crew said was gradual.Ive never gone down so fast and was only short of pulling the seat in front out of my mouth.
We apprached from the East past Howth head with Dublin city to our left and North County Dublin to our right.We had a rocky approach and a reasonable landing on 28.
Then the moment I had been waiting for for months. The buckets dropped and the noise and thril was awesome.One girl screamed but it was drowned out my the noise.
We left 28 and taxied to the A pier were we got off via the front door.We parked beside a EI735 and other FR 200s.
Into terminal and passed imigration.
A great day.My first Ryanair flight in over 10 years and I was impressed.
