I have great faith in a website www.skyscanner.net, that provides a service to millions of users. With this website you can pick a source & a destination and they will find direct and indirect flights. In addittion they give you the prices from the various airlines one of these all being Ryanair.

This afternoon, I log on to see about some cheap flights to the Canaries for September and see a note about Ryanairs prices not being available anymore so I follow the link to the news site that Ryanair have made a blanket request to all websites carrying their prices to polease refrain from doing so.

Quel Domage as they say in France,  Do they not realise taht Skyscanner only indicates the flight availability and price, but when you go to do the booking the surfer is tranported to the airlines website i.e. Ryanair, and there is no fees or commissions from Skyscanner.

Skyscanner have removed the prices in anticipation of negotiations with Ryanair and to get their prices back up. I hope they do soon as this is an excellent site and service to teh user, and the Airlines like Ryanair benefit greatly.

Come on Mick, give us back our sourcing service by getting the information back active with Skyscanner.

Speaking of Ryanair, I blogged a while ago about giving priase where due, and I can only repeat this again. I had some elderly relations have reason to visit Fuerteventura courtsey of Ryanair, one of them requires teh use of a wheel chair and they had nothing but the HIGHEST of praise for the Ryanair service both in Dublin, Fuertenvura airports and on the plane.

Roll on Ryanair, keep up the good work.

I had a look on that internet thing everyone seems to be talking about, for a cheap flight from Cork to London. Amazingly, I was quoted £1,361.64 for the return flight, and instead of taking an hour as it should, the flight is scheduled to last over six hours on the return, and almost five hours outbound. Book cheap flights with Opodo my arse!

Now I don't give praise lightly, but I do feel where deserved it should be mentioned.

I recently had th epleasure of a Ryanair flight to and from Fuerteventura (Canary Islands to the uninitiated), I was not relashing a 4-4.15hr flight with RA but in fairness the crew were excellent Both going and returning. There was plenty of food and drink available if you wanted to pay the usual exhorborant prices. I have been on other 2 hr RA flights where the food trolley is empty by the time it gets to you at the back of the plane.

Anyway we (my wife and I) were travelling with our daughter who is 24 and a dreadful traveller and our 18 month old granson, we got into Fuerte well rested and fit to commence a 7 day break in 25-27degC of sunshine and we got in ahead of schedule approx. 10 mins. I had only 1 issue with the RA crew and that is the usual when they do not have a full flight they limit the seats you can sit in so we were not allowed into the first 6 rows and the last 4 rows. But during the course of the flight they didn't mind people moving up to the fron row for a short break because it was cooler up there as it was very warm mid ships.

Coming back the flight was more full and we were told not to sit in the first 4 rows. There was a lot of under 2's on the flight which means they don't have a seat which was the case with us, but luckily the row across from us only had 2 passangers and yours truly moved in there after take off and the grandson had a seat to him self for the duration of the flight except for landing where he moved back to his mothers lap. The crew did not have any problems with this. And glory be we landed nearly 20 minutes ahead of schedule and guess what ???. DAA or AR wasn't ready for us!!!!!!.

Ha Ha, I hear you say, but we were kept on board for nearly 30 minutes while DAA or AR  organised 2 buses to collect us and bring us in. I kid you not. RA were ready and expecting both doors front and rear to be used, but by the time DAA or AR had the stairway at the rear connected there was only 4 people to come down it.

Anyway to sum up, Fair Dues RA and thanks for 2 excellent flights.

There was a guy on the flight who looked remarkably like Michael O'L, but I dont think it was him I only seen him from a distance and there was no official car to collect him at the plane.

Oh one other thing, as we were travelling with an 18month old we had a buggy with us and for the FIRST time ever in Dublin Airport was the buggy made available to us at the plane, nomally you have to wait for this inside the luggage hall, and if you are unluck enough to come in on gate 67 its a long f**king walk with a baby/wobbler/toddler especially when you consider the amount of stuff you need to carry with a baby.

Yesterday, Dermot Mannion,chief executive of Aer Lingus, announced that Aer Lingus had signed a strategic partnership with US low-cost carrier Jetblue. According to Mr Mannion this deal "will enable us to grow our revenues and grow passenger numbers" and additionally "introduce the Aer Lingus brand to new markets". The Irish Times headlined this today as "US deal to open 51 routes for Aer Lingus" and Reuters headlined the same story as "Aer Lingus forges ticket alliance with Jet Blue".

On hearing and reading this one would be forgiven to believe that this was a positive "strategic partnership" that would enhance the Aer Lingus brand and add value to the company and its shareholders. From what I have read the deal is'nt even signed, as negotiations are on-going. Asked if Aer Lingus had put together any projections on future passenger growth and therefore revenue? the answer was "no, not at this time".So, it would appear that according to Mr Mannion, Aer Lingus will grow but it will have nothing in place to assess or analyse the effect of this decision. This is beginning to resemble Enron, when its management felt that having a balance sheet was'nt necessary.

On further examination it would appear that the "deal" is simply placing buttons on each others Websites allowing access to each other. Very strategic?.Indeed the announcement also seemed to catch Jetblue off guard who went on to say "that no deal had been agreed, and negotiations were ongoing". When this was put to Mr Mannion he conceded that "there were details that still need to be worked out". Apparently these details include, revenue sharing arrangements and various customer services issues including checking in luggage in Ireland to final destinations in the US and elsewhere. This should prove fun given that Jetblue's model is one that we are all familiar with, ie Ryanairs. I can see us all arriving in Bermuda without any luggage.

Another aspect that was'nt reported in Ireland was that Jet Blue "is still in partnership talks with other international carriers" so should this deal with Aer Lingus go through and Jet Blue also signs similar agreements with other carriers, I have a feeling that capacity will become an issue.

This is bad management, Aer Lingus could find other ways of increasing its revenue by simply increasing its load factor on it transatlantic flights from its present, and declining 80.6% to say 85% would increase its passenger numbers by almost 55,000 passengers. If you use an average return fare of €500 this would equate to €27.5m, and it would the management that would control this strategy, and it will not depend on an outside third party for growth.It may also cost justify the two new 315 seater aircraft that will be on the transatlantic routes later this year. Analysts believe that should this deal go through there will be no increase in revenue for Aer Lingus.They also believe that Aer Lingus should be focusing on the competition that is invading its space in the form of American, Delta, and now Flyglobespan operating from Knock, which by the way needs to be applauded, and shows what can be done with proper strategic thinking.

I can't help feeling that the Management of Aer Lingus is out of its depth in managing this company, it is making profits due to the work put in by former CEO Willie Walsh and his team. The present Management appear to be falling from crisis to crisis,  it became embroiled in another row with unions last week on its cost cutting plan it emerged that the business plan that was finalised days before flotation 4 months ago, is now not worth the paper its written on. I wonder how many investment houses are scratching their collective heads now asking "have we been sold a pig and a poke?". Class action law suits are not uncommon when these things happen.

Aer Lingus share price is presently about €2.91, a valuation that I believe has a Ryanair premium embedded, and valuations for its slots, for example in Heathrow, justifying the price. If Mr Mannion et al d'ont start doing some hard work and stop announcing "incomplete deals" I can see Aer Lingus been broken up and sold off, in a similiar way Eircom was broken up and had 4 new owners in 8 years.I feel the loss felt this time should Aer Lingus go the same route will not be confined to small investors but to all of us as a whole.

I wonder then what will happen to the consumer when Aer Lingus is no longer with us?

It never ceases to amaze me that upon landing you have this sudden rush to stand up & open the overhead lockers before the plane has even stopped.

So here is the very serious question for all you fellow frequent travellers.Why? 

In all fairness it is not as if the plane is going to stop any faster or that you the passenger are going to be able to alight the plane any faster as a result of this procedure.In fact if you stop & think about it logically we are probably slowing the process up.Never mind from a health & safety point of view,it is adding stress to the journey because you feel you are obliged to join this melee & jockey into position in case you lose your place.

Particularly if you are sitting on an aisle seat as i tend to do for legroom you automatically sense the tension rising in the passengers sitting next to you worried that you are not going to move. So you end up conforming...

During my reading of yesterdays Sunday Newspapers(www.sbpost.ie) I came accross an interesting story regarding the introduction of a baggage handling charge by Aer Lingus. This charge will be either be €4 per bag if the happy traveller books his/her bag at the time of booking his/her flight, otherwise they will have to pay €8 per bag if they decide to book in their luggage when they arrive at the airport.That should make planning what to bring on holidays more fun.

Is it me or has Aer Lingus began to morph into Ryanair?

Further to the new charges Aer Lingus have guaranteed a minimum payment to check in staff of €1000 in the first year. Additionally for every €8 that you and I hand over per bag the happy check-in clerk will receive a 80c (or 10%) commission per bag. So when this happens to you, be gracious and happy in the knowledge that when the check-in clerk smiles and speaks to you pleasantly d'ont forget you are paying for that smile.

Ryanairs hostile take over bid for Aer Lingus was greeted by unions, workers, management and indeed the Government with as much enthusiasm as getting your teeth extracted without anaesthetic, citing the lack of competition in the market place as the main reason for opposing the takeover.It now needs to be asked what competition do we have now? at least with Ryanair you know there is a fair chance of the journey being terrible.

And what of the unions and the socialist/marxist philosophies? it seems to me that this is the style of marxism that Stalin enjoyed ie we are all equal but some are more equal than others.It would appear to me that the unions, and not the management of AerLingus, are running AerLingus, no wonder they opposed the takeover.

My christmass experience with Ryanair commenced on Friday 22nd December 2006. Arrive at Duiblin aerport for flight to Stanstead with onward connection to Dinard France.Given previous experiences with Ryanair (and the fact of their insistance that if you fly from Dublin to France via England with them it really is two separate journeys!!!!) I allowed 3.5 hours between flights to make sure that I would not miss my connection.

Flight in Dublin delayed..... absolutely no information forwared by Ryanair in relation to delay. Nobody present at Ryanair desk so we all just sit around and wait and watch the departure time move forward and forward. Eventually board the plane and I'm thinking excellent I sill have 1.40 minutes so I can make checkin at Stanstead. Doors closed should be leaving in a few minutes ..... wait whats that we are opening the doors again. I wonder why.  People start asking questions of in flight staff who plead their usual ignorance. Eventually after some 10-15mins have passed the Pilot comes over the intercom to say that they have more luggage than they have passengers??? I ask myself how can this happen. When a person checks in (irrespective of the airline) they are given the opportunity to check in luggage at which point it is tagged through the system which produces the little sticker that is attached to the bag!!!! Quite simple I would have thought. So now we all have to get off the plane to identify our luggage which has already commenced being offloaded. Start at the back single file only bla bla bla!!!

After about 15 mins of this the identification of luggage is stopped. People on runway are invited to get back on the plane. What now i'm thinking? When we are all back on the plane the in fight service girl (whose first language was not english and was incredilby difficult to understand) calls out a particular name. At this point a passenger answering to this name stands up and comes forward. There is some heated exchange. The passenger leaves the plane. What we witnessed here was a plane which had more passengers than its manifesto would have shown. This particular person had managed to board a plane for which she did not have the correct boarding card??? I ask you how can this happen. Surely in this age of increased terrorism threats ensuring you have on your plane only those who should be there is crucial. The boading card states your name, your flight details and your departure gate (but ignore that cos Ryanair change dearture gates every few minutes). So lets see the difficult job that staff have to do. Check identifictaion and satisfy yourself that the picture looks somewhat like the person in front of you and the name matches and then check the flight number on the pass. How incredibly difficult.

So finally we are on our way,no announcement , no apology no nothing from the staff. But wait our pilot again. We have now missed our take off slot (based on the incompetance of the people working for the company ... i felt like adding) so we waited another 20-30mins  to eventually take off. I eventually arrive in Stanstead.

I run as fast as I can to luggage claim to get my luggage I now have forty minutes before my next flight but I'm sure I can make it. 15 mins later I am still waiting for luggage to arrive. I evetually get it and run to the other end of the airport to check in for next flight to Dinard?  I'm sorry Mam check in closed 10mins ago????

I was not allowed check in. Meanwhile I am watching (along with the thousands of other discontented Ryanair passengers as multiple flights are cancelled out of Stanstead by ryanair). Beside my flight appears "delayed". I'm thinking my flight is delayed due to fog so surely i should be able to board it. I tried talking to several different "Personnel" from Ryanair" and the message was the same.... NO NO NO NO.

Bear in mind its Xmass. There were no flights out of Stanstead until 28th so in the interest of Good Customer Service one would have though they could have made an exception!!!! After all the other passengers were just sitting in the boarding area waiting to board????

So here I am stuck in England on the 22nd December with no way out until 28th??

 Ryanair just keep sending a girl through the crowd saying all flights booked out until 28th December. Also if we have cancelled your flight and you are looking for accomodation on a different flight or a refund please apply online??? I ask you this had to be the biggest insult to everyone. Your standing in an airport and you are asked to apply online???? To me this stunk of Ryanair's attitude and basically said tough shit for cancelling your flight but your on your own now and sort yoruself out.

To cut a long story short with the help of some friends I manged to stay in london for the night and book a Euro Star (first class 260sterling) one way ticket to Paris for the 23rd. I dealt with the most professional and helpful people in Euro Star and the police in Liverpool station where it departs. They helped salvage a potentially disaster of a journey. Arrvie in Paris 23rd and after 3 different trains and a two hour car journey i arrive at my destination at 1.50am on 24th December..... even meet santa clause on the way!!!

All the passengers on the Eurostar in my section (Carriage 8) had been ditched by Ryan Air and were endeavouring to make to home to their families for Xmass, some opting to go to paris and fly from there to their destination. The conversation and comments and experiences noted by these people would have made very interesting hearing for Michael to Leary.

And the moral of the story. .........

We all know if we pay peanuts we get monkeys. This applies to the Ryanair airline and those associated with it. However what I cannot accept is the idea that to treat people with respect is a difficulty or somewhat of an inconvenience. I'm sure Mr O'Leary expects the people who fly with his company to treat his staff with respect and therefore Mr O'Leary I expect the same from you and your staff when I fly with you which by the way I will never do again. I would much rather spend that little bit more, have a pleasurable experience and actually arrive at my destination on time!!!!

To all those passengers I met on this journey I hope you all eventually made it home for Xmass and thanks for the good spirit shown. And finally i hope Ryanair honoured your return flight!!!!!!!! Thats another story for another day!!!!! 

Happy new year

Michael O'Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, once called British Airways "expensive bastards". Having recently spent almost £300 for a one hour flight from London Gatwick to Cork I would have to agree. Except it wasn't with BA I booked the ticket, this was Ryanair. Despite booking the ticket seven weeks ahead of the flight date this is the ridiculous price I had to pay over Christmas for the short haul flight.

The Boss of the low-cost airline has also been quoted to say, "No, we shouldn't give you a bloody cup of coffee. We only charge 19 euros for the ticket."  However, even if you pay close to £300 you still have to pay for your own coffee (incidentally, the average price for a BA flight is £178).

Low cost airlines are superb, as long as they remain low-cost, but if you have to pay above average prices for no frills then you don't ever get a sense of customer loyalty. Since Go was absorbed into Easyjet and Barbara Cassani its CEO left the low-cost airline industry any sense of customer service vanished with her. It certainly doesn't exist in Ryanair. 

Despite being unable to book an EasyJet Flight online due to a bug or lack of information on their website I'm still very much a fan of this low cost airline. But now that they've discontinued the Gatwick (LGW) to Cork(ORK) route, choice is limited.

In fact, there were no available flights on BA when I wanted to travel, and I didn't want to fly from Heathrow. This only left me with one choice, Ryanair.

After you've paid for each direction on the flights, added almost £50 in taxes, another £7 for a bag, and a further £1.40 to pay by debit card, the total price comes in just shy of  £300.

Surely it's wrong to pay this for a Ryanair flight where you don't even get a seat pocket.
