Re: Help Urgent re Ryanair

Not sure Id want to fly with Ryanair again. On our return from Dublin to Humberside we had a terrible landing. The plane hit the runway with a loud bang and seemed to skid....we all held our breath as it finally came to a halt. Some bright spark called out "I think he needs a few more lessons"! :lo...

Ryanair are often knocked and when things go wrong and they are a nightmare, as a passenger you are on your own. But having said that they have brought millions of low fares across Europe and offer a punctual service on new aircraft. Forget the lead in pricing and look at the total figure and almost...

We considered doing this last year and gave up due to the cost. It is because the rental company has to send someone to collect the car and return it to the correct country.

Use public transport and hire 2 cars, sounds like the best bet.

We did the ferry to Santander in October 2006 on the Pont Avon. Massive ship, but oh my god. Spent the whole trip, all 30 hours off it lying down due to the awful sea. I know that it only takes 18, but ours did'nt. It may be great in the middle of the summer but you would have to be brave to do it a...

Travelex

I find the best rate to be with Travelex at most airports. The rate on the day is very poor, but if you book on the internet and collect on departure, they seem to have the best rate in the uk. Current rate of 1.22 to the £.

Not good, but the best around, unless somebody can help with a better rate.

I am not sure, but I would imagine that they have a manual override that you can operate from inside only?

I for one have always found Easyjet to offer a good service, operating a modern fleet and offering a resonable prices.

When they took over the ex BA GO routes at Bristol they increased the routes / frequencies and did not over inflate prices.

We have stayed at the Novotel Bilbao Barakaldo when returning from touring in Europe.

It is a clean modern hotel that has some great deals at times. Not a "charm" hotel but nice comfortable luxury, which is much needed during a log journey.

Nice restaurant too.
