• Ryanair - London to Faro

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2007 10:10 pm**

There *has* to be a reason why there isnt a genuine a pucker low cost airline serving Faro.

Anyone know why?

Also, what's the danger of a new Algarve-centric airport springing up?

The reason is that O Reilly probably wants Faro airport to pay him to land there.
as for Ryan air being cheap !!!, you have to pay for hold baggage, you have to pay excess over 15 kg.
You can still get to faro on Ryan air, go via Madrid

Landing fees and turn around times create problems at Gatwick and Thiefrow making it difficult for no frills to make a profit.

Ryan Air being cheap is a myth. You may get a £1 fare, but after all the bolt ons and limitations, + a totally Sh*t level of....well you cant call it service, it probably costs as much as Monarch or Easyjet.

At Pisa airport at the check in desks there are large notices detailing customers rights if flights cancelled or delayed etc.

Guess whose check in desks these notices are along side, " Not Easyjet. but that other well known " budget airline " whose owner refuses to accept the " rules " regarding consumer rights.

YUP....and to quote a Ryanair "customer Rep" you pay F*ck All....you get F*ck all...we are not here to serve...just to fulfill the safety regs!

This will be our first time flying on them ever and it would be this Saturday from Madrid. I agree you get what you pay for, but as long as they are safe as an airline, I am okay to use them as a quick and cheap way to get some where. But as my vacation is limited, do they cancel often without advising passengers? What do they do with them if they do cancel?

I believe the expression "Tough titty" applies! You just get a refund, or they will give you a seat on the next flight.

To go by other Ryanair flights if they were to fly London to Algarve they would probably use Alvor or Lagos airports!
