Nice to see Ryan Air’s top boss Michael O’Leary put the boot into the Met Office over their decission to have the skies over Britain locked down after the Icelandic volcano eruption in April.
O’Leary called the no-fly zone “entirely unnecessary”, one that will cost his company GBP50 million for picking up the hotel and food bills of the thousands unable to travel. Go here for reimbursement details.
What was lovely was the skies over Serre Chevalier being clear, with none of that chem-trail poison being pumped out the back of planes – this issue is really freaking me out, I am building up a pictoral record of this gunk being sprayed.
As you may know I am a Ryan Air supporter, you get what you pay for and it’s done a lot for breaking the monopolies of state carriers. When you order at McDonald’s you can’t complain it’s crap, you know that, if you don’t want it go somewhere else (no really do go somewhere else – it’s not even crap food, just crap).
Ryan is putting it’s fee for checking in a hold bag to GBP20 from 15 for July and August, but you should be able to get a weeks worth of kit in your 10kg cabin bag – just wear your heaviest clothes and boots – der not difficult.
The company has just published it’s year profit figures – up 204% to Eur319m after tax, but it says fares have dropped 13%, so that’s nice.
There is something strange as the company must be attracting customers, who must then slag it off. It’s like all those people who claim they never saw Titanic, unless someone’s cooking the viewing figure books that is.
