Ryanair (allegedly the worse airline for customer service in the airline industry) have started a new route: London Stansted to Grenoble.
Just thought I would let you all know!!!

Helen Beaumont - Good to hear that everything went ok for you. I use Ryanair regularly; in fact, I am going to Bergamo at the end of July from Glasgow Prestwick - I have used this route a number of times (my partner is italian). I have also used other Ryanair routes - London, Paris, Dublin, etc. Ryanair are absolutely fantastic if nothing goes wrong. The minute anything goes wrong, that's when they are not interested. In saying that, I have always been very lucky with them.

jb1970, thanks for passing that on. Duly noted.
I have had mixed fortunes with Ryanair, (in truth the negative has been sparked by my own bad time management) but yesterday I came back from a day-trip to Newquay and we set off 15minutes early and arrived 35 minutes early. Well pleased.
At £0.99 each way (plus taxes), to get from London to Cornwall in 45 minutes, you couldn't really complain.

Just flew out and back from Bournemouth International, (or Hurn to locals) best airport experience ever!
Just so relaxed no stress, and as a bonus, no one bothered to turn up from HM C&E so walked straight through and out to car park! Landed 10 mins early as well.
Thompson Fly are doing ski flights from B'mth this winter, so very much better than the agro at the larger airports.

boredsurfin, Easyjet are also doing flights to Geneva from Bournmouth this winter. I agree - smaller airports can be much easier to use.

Flybe are now flying from Exeter to Grenoble which is also pretty useful to know!

Same heading but different subject.
Just booked some cheapish flights with Ryanair and found that they have added quite a surcharge for using a credit card. £7.00 added to 2 flights at £38.50, makes nearly 10% increase. I didn't notice any warning that they were going to do that either. Bit sneaky I reckon.

Thomsonfly have much heavier taxes and surcharges than the other low costers. eg
Thomsonfly Doncater to Lyon - £43.59 in taxes and bits.
Easyjet Stansted to Lyon - £27.71 in taxes and bits

You know it makes sense.
|
The other sneaky thing that Ryanair do is that they charge a debit card fee. As they won't let you pay cash, you have to stump up either the debit or credit card fee

I queried the credit/debit card charges with them. They do not accept any other form of payment so these will always be an additional charege over and above the flight plus taxes cost that they initially show you. For credit cards the fee is £1.75 per person per journey (so for a return it would be £3.50) and for debit cards it is £0.40 per person per journey (£0.80 for return trip).

good old ryan air.. everyone slates em but you get what you pay for.. when it all works they are great..
the downside is that the flights have become one long advert with someone screeching on about cheap train tickets, duty frees and 'refreshing' spring water...
