Hi all, For those of us unlucky enough not to be able to spend all our time in France but having to return regularly to the UK to work, the commuter market has got a lot harder over the past 12 months, not to mention quite a bit dearer - some of the regulars have given up and moved back to the UK, some have cut down, many of us have had to change airports (and to the train) multiple times because of scheduling changes and of course, it all gets more confusing and potentially expensive ... We started a small forum (www commuterjet net) for the regular commuters (nothing that would rival this!) to try to arrange things such as lift-shares either side of the channel etc. and had a reasonable membership but then the server crashed and we have just got back running again. Its all free, not for profit (in fact, it's costing us!) and all with the aim of making that regular commute just that little bit easier for us all. So, if you are in the position of having to commute into SW France on a regular(ish) basis, why not pop over, join up and say "hi", someone may be going your way and be able to save you some time and/or money. Once again to the mods, if this post is breeching any rules, please feel free to edit it etc.

It won't work, and I say this as a weekly user of Ryanair. The overhead lockers are already packed to the gunnels and often people have to leave bags at the steps and have the moved to the hold (by a baggage handler) because although the bag complies with the rules there is just no space left. They recently started to police the "one bage per passenger" rule at Standsted and it lasted 1 week before the staff refused to becaus ethey were being abused and in once case, attacked by passengers who were carrying on multiple bags .... I just can't see how it will work.
