Re: Ryanair comes back to Ostend !

:roll: :roll: The change is: all people pay and only the few who actually fly with FR or who have a job at the airport get the return. Wonderful. And all airlines asking for (more) subsidies? What a perfect proposal :roll: , but not my idea of a market economcy :shock: :oops: If we would follow thi...

Re: Fly to New York for just 199,73€ incl. taxes!!!

Just to let anyone know that I am back from Newark since this morning. I was one of the lucky people who enjoyed the € 199,73 fare (thanks to expedia.fr). Everything went smooth. Security people at the check-in counter at BRU asked me just once what the meaning was of that 3rd flight (Los Angeles - ...

Re: Charleroi Airport (CRL) latest news

Would this mean that the numbers of based aircraft (currently 8) will be reduced instead of increased?

Re: Charleroi Airport (CRL) latest news

Stockholm is indeed back, this time with 2 daily flights. The flights will be operated with a Skavsta based aircraft, so daytrip returns from CRL to NYO will be tricky.

Re: Charleroi Airport (CRL) latest news

New Ryanair route to be announced very soon:

Charleroi - Rygge, Moss

For those of you who think that Rygge is a southern holiday spot with palm trees and bikini girls: forget it. Rygge is in Norway.

No news yet about frequencies or start date.

Re: Zitplaatsen bij JAF

Ik was vandaag een van de gelukkigen die vanuit Monastir naar Brussel mocht vliegen met de 767 00-JAP. Een aardige verschijning daar op de Tunesische tarmac :-)
(Gelukkig stond de 747 van Transaero die de Russische toeristen naar huis mocht brengen helemaal aan de andere kant van de luchthaven ;-)

Re: Ryanair wants to buy 300 aircraft by the end of the year

Would this order only be for narrow-bodies like 737 or A320? Or would MOL also order his first wide-bodies, for his transatlantic flights?

Re: Security chaos at Brussels last night

I really don't see the problem. If the security checks need to be more strict, then they should hire more staff. Is that so difficult?

Exactly my thought. And if MOL is indeed planning to visit Santiago, it won't be to announce just 1 new route.

Re: Charleroi Airport (CRL) latest news

A little bit off-topic, but it seems that there is also a new route to Eindhoven in the pipeline: from Valencia.

Very strange, as FR have always shouted that there will be no further routes to and from the Netherlands due to the new flight tax.

Re: Charleroi Airport (CRL) latest news

Seems correct. Both Cagliari and Alghero are already in the online check-in list from Charleroi at Ryanairs website. Alghero will probabely be another € 0,01 -route, as it is always one of the promotions at Weeze or Hahn. (Just like CRL - Limoges, to give just one example). I guess demand on this ro...

Re: Free flights

So the only way to avoid the credit card fee seems to be a payment with a Visa Electron card. Does anybody know where to get such a card in Belgium?

Re: Free flights

For € 0,02? Strange, as I have the impression that there is no possibility of avoiding the € 10 charge for using a credit card. (Although Ryanair's advertisemnet says that there are "no hidden charges or taxes")

Is there a way to avoid this booking fee?
