Wouldn't touch Ryanair with a bargepole.
Any business that views & treats its customers as they do does not deserve any.
My fear is that he's doing this to try to drive Jet2 out of business.
I can see this being a Pyrrhic victory for the new airport owners.

Will somebody please think of the kittens in Horsforth?

A local on't news t'other night was complaining about the noise from the airport already without the Ryanair expansion. He lives near an airport... what did he expect? jet planes with silencers on?

I'm happy that my expectation of their customer service is not that high. It would be difficult to get over and see my family and let my kids see their relatives if Ryanair had not been around. 3 years ago I looked at going to seemy parents in Portugal and the price was about €1,300 for 5. I booked the year before last for €130 for 5. Last year €220 for 5.

My thoughts exactly.
Now while the airport does need options, it's an incredibly uncertain time and ryanair don't pull their punches.
JET2 has been good for Leeds and Yorkshire.


Regrading the locals who complain about the noise, it's like those around Headingley and their moans. UInless they are all 100+yrs .
Makes me laugh!

Absolutely. When you fly budget you should expect budget.

I do get ticked off at the charges for "extras" like checking in. How can checking in be an "extra" FFS? Can I bypass it?

I flew BMI straight to Perp this year and it was fairly cheap. I've done Girona before and its' as convenient as people say.

Yup, do it online.

just done a rough price check on Ryanair, fly out to Carcassone on the 13th June and return 20th June is £53 all in

Just wear every item of clothes you're taking with you, then you have no bag, save £20, and lose a few pounds.

Everyones a winner

it's an interesting one, aren't 9 of the routes they are offering, already offered by Jet 2?

I will stick to Jet 2.

The amount of times I've been on them and rarely experienced problems. I for one do not hope they drive Jet 2 out of business.


As pointed out though, if people pay budget they expect budget. Although Jet 2 is relatively cheap, the standard of service is somewhat alot better than than the other airline in question.

I once had an awful air hostess on Jet 2, terrible she was

Looks like I need to find a new golf course! I play at Horsforth and there are plans to extend the airport which means taking half the holes!!

Will you be requiring ticket to include a working lifejacket? And will you be requiring your aircraft to use one wing or two?
