Hmm. Have concerns for people who genuinely believe they have a boarding pass and get to security to find it's not working after the Ryanair statement.

That would be my concern, arrive at airport with boarding card, go to boarding gate, it dosnt scan, you now have to buy one for £40

I have checked with the police on this matter, and as far as they are concern, if I have to buy a new boarding pass for £40, but a lawyer friend did suggest you could take them to the dublin courts, and for 15 euros have your case heard

There is a good chance you would get your money back, as ryanair dont like going to court in dublin, they try to avoid the case going to court by settling before

I am just looking for flights with Ryanair to Girona in August. I have checked Birmingham, East Midlands, Luton, Liverpool and all are so much more expensive than last year, looking at £60 person per sector. Its gonna work out about £250 more, seriously thinking about driving now, it is a pain but it will be cheaper. (I have to take bags as well)

It seems like the days of cheap flights are gone even with Ryanair now. If only some other airline flew to Girona it would force the prices down (and I know Thomson do but they are over £300 return each)

hi S/O/H.....I read somewhere that they are pulling out of Gerona in favour of Barcelona...dont know how true it is....maybe why more expensive this year....tweetie

Hi all
I was a bit surprised when I recently read on another forum that you cannot print the return boarding passes at the same time as your outgoing ones is this true? This person who wrote on the forum said that they had to find somewhere on holiday, like a hotel or internet cafe to print them. My sister and I go away next month, do you have to go through all this trouble? We are only going for a week.

Dawnie-Rob

Hi Dawnie-Rob ... online check in is available 15 days before departure, so you should be able to print both boarding passes before you go. Anyone away for more than a fortnight may have to do online check in for the homeward flight from their holiday destination.

Hi David
Thank you very much for the help. Thats sound better, not used this on line check in service so a bit nervous about things going wrong.

Thanks again
Dawn

hi dawn .....know just how you feel.....I was the same....I was a real pain in the but on here the first time I had to do it...I was a nervous wreck by the time Id got my act together....everything worked fine in the end.....think we are all a bit nervous doing this kind of stuff , first time....

online check in is available 15 days before departure

We flew with Ryanair a couple of months ago and we were away for 16 nights so I thought I would have to find somewhere on holiday to print off the check in details for the return flight, however when I went to print the outward check in details 4 days before departure I was also able to print the return one as well, which was almost 3 weeks before that departure date.

All very easy

Hi all
Thanks for the support. It makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only nervous wreck regarding these things!!

Ryanair returns to Manchester

Ryanair has launched four new routes from Manchester to Alicante, Faro, Madrid and Tenerife today, a little more than a year after axing nine routes from the UK's fourth biggest airport.

The airline dropped all but its flights to Dublin from Manchester in October 2009 after the airport refused to reduce its landing fees. It pulled flights to continental Europe and to Shannon in the west of Ireland.

Today's u-turn will safeguard 600 jobs in the Manchester area, according to Ryanair, which expects to carry 600,000 passengers from the airport this year.

It has also increased frequencies on its Manchester to Dublin service from four daily flights to six flights daily and it is launching a new twice weekly flight from Humberside to Alicante, starting on April 12.

All the new flights go on sale tomorrow (Thursday, January 27).

I am looking at booking flights from EMA to Alicante in August 2011.

Really should have booked them as soon as they came out, but in the past, the prices seem to have risen then dropped again., This doesn't seem to be happening this year!!!! Should I book now or hang fire and wait and see whether they do drop and does anyone out there know whether this always happens or was last year a one off? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Best Regards

Elaine

ELAINE 1963,

I would keep checking the prices and once they are at a level that you are happy to pay, book them. The trick is not to look again afterwards! You will generally get the cheapest fares by booking early but this is subject to to demand / supply.

I booked some flights for my daughter, hubby and 2 kids this morning on the recently announced Manchester to Tenerife flights, for the October halfterm. I paid £ 570, the same flights would now cost £810, what a difference a few hours make !!

Chris

24hours later the same fare is now £990 !
now £1,210, what a difference a week makes !

I cannot get any information on flights after 31 October from Karlsruhe-Baden (FKB).

Is it because 'winter' flights are not bookable yet or ... might they be closing this base?

Probably not organised yet, routes like Hahn and Dublin to Stansted don't have winter timetables yet either and I don't they they are being dropped. There was a big panic about why the Girona summer flights were missing a while back but they have appeared since.
