I am amazed at how long Ryanair have kept what has to be a pretty heavily loss making Kerry running (2.5 years at this stage). Fares seem to mostly be around €20/25/30 and very rarely above (subject to VAT, which must barely cover the different airport, handling and security fees). The truth is an E...

Not really my place to disclose before the announcement but, there's not much green!
Any non-EU citizens could well have had visa issues with Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia.
Even by Ryanair standards it does seem particularly poor form to leave passenger a 10+ hour bus ride away with no reasonable alternative travel arrangements.
I would grumble about a 4 hour bus ride finishing my air trip. But were it done moderately expeditiously only a grumble. I've had it happen on a train trip. Annoying, did not ruin my day. Their bus journey would have been a lot longer than 4 hours. It would be a minimum of 10 hours+, plus 2 sometim...

I still think the most deadly aircraft accident in Europe for some years deserves a more appropriate topic title.
Moderators, Can the title of the below topic be renamed to emphasise that 20 people died (it is worst crash in Europe for some years), remove the movie reference, and the “today” (since it is already yesterday). 20 dead in Junkers Ju-52 crash in Switzerland http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.p...

This may not be a "normal" airline accident but it is nevertheless one where a relatively sizeable number of paying passengers were being carried from A to B.
This was the trip:
