Re: FR8582 diverts and leaves almost 200 pax stranded

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.

Re: FR8582 diverts and leaves almost 200 pax stranded

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...

Re: Wizz Air To Overtake Easyjet as Biggest London Luton Airline (11 based aircraft)

Re: Future of Wizz Air in London

I wonder if Wizz Air UK could try a UK-Istanbul flight, which may allow another aircraft with a "virtual stand" (late night departure, morning return to Luton). Wizzair does not fly to Turkey at all, so this seems highly unlikely. Besides, the London - Istanbul market is quite saturated a...

Re: Where did Easyjet fail where others succeeded?

Have a play around EZY's investor presentations: they are a wealth of information and knowledge across all aspects of its business. For example, it seeks to be the #1 or #2 airline at all the primary airports its serves as detailed on slides 22 and 23 here: http://corporate.easyjet.com/~/media/File...

Re: Irish 8/18: An august institution

The situation with not allowing people self connect to Ryanair flights is ridiculous. It makes little difference if a passenger clears security in the connection facility or goes landside and back upstairs to departures (if anything, staying airside gives passengers more time in the shops and restau...

He has written an interesting book, without too many of the conspiracy theories you see in such works.

Re: Where Eagles Dare: Ju-52 in a deadly crash today

That's not smoke, just part of the mountains (same as what you see under the plane).

The press conference stated there was no pre or post-crash fire.

I still think the most deadly aircraft accident in Europe for some years deserves a more appropriate topic title.

Moderators - 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...
