Ryanair in 2014

The metric itself it pretty pointless too, as you need to multiply the number of passengers times their distance flown to get a good idea of the size of the airline.

Or multiply the number of passengers by the average price they pay to have an idea of the turnover of the airline.

Indeed, ASK (available seat kilometres), RPK (revenue passenger kilometres) or revenue are more common factors that are used in the industry to compare airline size.

Sorry, but I fail to understand the above tables completely. So apparently the total passengers international seems to be exactly the same as international + domestic together. Isn't that weird, considering Ryanair has numerous domestic flights in their network...?

Ryanair doesn't fly any domestic route - meaning routes inside Ireland, Ryanair being an Irish company (Dublin-Cork has been cancelled a few years ago).

[Inquirer]

Yet don't they fly between 2 airports in the same country, like in the UK, or Italy?
Surely that is domestic flying? Just because you are a non-uk or a non-Italian company doesn't make a London-Glasgow or a Milan-Palermo (just theoretical examples here, I don't know if there's routes exist) suddenly an international flight???

[airazurxtror]

Statistically, a flight is counted as domestic if it is flown by a company Inside its own country.
For instance, Edinburg-London is counted as domestic for British Airways, not for Ryanair.
It has already been repeated here ad nauseam.

that is fault.
if UA for instance starts a flight from LHR to MAN it is considered a domestic flight

The transport of goods or passengers between two points in the same country by an aircraft registered in another country is called "cabotage".

It's no real cabotage any longer to EU companies, given we have a common market in the EU.

Intra-EU flights are really just domestic flights for any EU airlines, but semantically it sounds so much nicer to still call them international flights; it's another one of those pointless metrics airlines like to use to make themselves more important than they only are.

A bit like De Lijn, which pretends to have well over half a billion customers (compare that to the equally non-dimentioned figures above!), in a region of just over 5 million inhabitants.
Looking at their undimentioned passenger numbers, you'd think they'd be of a size suitable for China.

Fraud analyst? Are there so many scams at Ryanair? How much can you fraud on a 49€ ticket?

Ryanair to accept Paypal payments

What is the surcharge for PayPal payments?

[airazurxtror]

What is the surcharge for PayPal payments?

No surcharge (same as with a credit card payment).

What is the surcharge for PayPal payments?

No surcharge (same as with a credit card payment).

I just checked the English Ryanair website (I am currently in Sri Lanka) for a flight BRU-KRK tomorrow and I read:
"Credit Card Fee: 1.54 EUR" (also applicable to PayPal). You can argue that you get a discount if you pay by debit card, but the result is the same; you pay more if you pay by credit card or PayPal.

[airazurxtror]

Yes, you pay more by credit card or by Paypal than if you pay by debit card.
You can also say that you get a rebate if you pay by debit card.
The difference being 2% of the fare.
In your example : 78,53-76,99=1,54 euro. For a CRL-KRK - Ryanair don't fly BRU-KRK, at least not yet.

Ryanair has announced a new daily route between Dublin and Brussels Airport as part of its winter schedule.
The service – which will offer three flights per day from late October – will be in addition to Ryanair’s existing connection to Brussels Charleroi.

The airline also said its winter schedule would include new services between Dublin Airport and locations including Basel in Switzerland, Marrakesh in Morocco and Bucharest in Romania.
It also plans to increase the frequency on a number of its existing Dublin routes, including London Gatwick, Birmingham, Berlin, Rome and Warsaw.

new daily route between Dublin and Brussels Airport ... in addition to Ryanair’s existing connection to Brussels Charleroi.

1000 existing daily seats with EI on BRU + 1100 existing daily seats with FR on CRL + 1100 new daily seats with FR on BRU.

Ultimately something will have to give on the CRL/BRU-DUB market.

[Inquirer]

Just a remark: its not explicitly mentioned they will keep capacity intact at CRL: as we have seen with their previous route annoucements from BRU, capacity in CRL was subsequently reduced there to absorb part of the capacity increase at BRU, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them do the same on this route too as they must also feel they are competing with themselves in the end, which is of course not the aim.

Ryanair wants to launch an “Israeli version” of the Irish company and turn Israel into one of its hubs, CEO Michael O’Leary told the Irish Independent newspaper.
O’Leary says the company has great aspirations for Israel, and promised Israel’s tourism minister last year that the company would bring Israel 4-5 million tourists a year.
He expressed disappointment with Israel’s regulatory authorities, who are striving to protect El Al from competition.
From Israel it would fly to Russia, central Europe, Britain, Germany and many other destinations.
