Llantony Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Ryanair claim to fly Bergerac-Nottingham East Midlands but when I put in dates I get nothing.Why can't they publish schedules like other airlines, saying which months of the year they fly?I hate them but there is no other airline flying from near me in France to EMA. The alternative is a much longer drive (and parking charges) in France or going to Birmingham or Manchester and hiring a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 The flights from Bergerac to EMA stop at the end of August. I know because I'm going to have to travel to Limoges early in September for a flight to EMA.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Llantony, I suggest that you send a personal letter to Michael O'Ryanair. When he learns of your needs I am confident that he will rearrange his business model to fit.Or you could move to another part of Europe where you do not have to use an airline you hate.There, 2 constructive suggestions early-ish on a Sat morn, the pills must be working.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llantony Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 That sort of unpleasant sarcasm reminds me why I seldom bother with this forum these days.Ryanair used to fly this route regularly and the planes were always full when I or my visitors used them.I simply remarked that it would be helpful if Ryanair published their schedules - especially if they have decided to only fly this route in August!

And then without warning just disappeared as a destination from Edinburgh. They introduce new destinations with much publicity yet don't even have the decency to announce the withdrawal/termination of a service. Its a pity because it suited us - just a couple of hours to the house but what we have spent this year on flights has gone in to easyJet's coffers on the service to Lyon.

Kevinmc Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Work on the assumption that Ryanair, Easyjet et al are offering a route and flight times for the season for which they've published them, either winter or summer. There's no guarantee that they'll fly there in subsequent seasons and a full plane is no indicator. If they get a better subsidy elsewhere, or more profitable traffic, the plane moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason given because a decision has not been made on a second runway - apparently they only have one aircraft based there. Anyone with a booking after September needs to contact them.Think this is perhaps why they do not publish schedules because a schedule is only any good if they keep to it.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
