[Low-cost airline Ryanair has cancelled 30 flights on Thursday after
talks with pilots ended without an agreement.
Scheduled flights between Ireland and the UK will face the brunt
of the action, as Ryanair faces its second strike since recognising unions for the first time in December.]

Oh didn't see your answer. I avoid flying with Ryanair as much as possible but we don't have as much choice here especially if I want to fly direct from Cork, if its any way possible and not waaaay more expensive I use aerlingus

My mum says you don’t have much room so you feel cramped and ofc they keep cancelling flights so i would never fly with them

I hope for the best for you and nothing happens to your holiday. I did fly with Monarch but they went bust so i fly with jet2 which is a nice airline, don’t you have it?

Hopefully it will be fine next month, when I'm flying.

Ryanair are a bit cramped and uncomfortable but they're usually short flights, we would have more choice if we flew from Dublin but that's a pain in the arse, it's a 2.5/3hour drive away, Cork is a pretty small airport so most times if we want to fly from Cork we have a choice between Aerlingus and Ryanair, aerlingus is far better so I'll go with them if at all possible. I think Jet2 do fly from Cork but only to Newcastle

Is he in Ireland? I think it's only effecting flights between the UK and Ireland right now. I'm going to be flying to Italy with them in 4 weeks so hopefully they will just stick to the Ireland/UK routes

The Strike hit Gatwick on the news today
24 flights today stopped

[Nicky91]

i would say avoid an airline company called Small Planet Airlines, i've seen that once on ''the holiday man'' a dutch show where people complain about vacations which went all disastrously wrong, and that airline didn't want to fly towards their holiday destination cause they made all sorts of silly excuses

and when people tried calling the airline, they didn't pick up their Phone

And for onward travel to your destination from the out-of-the-way airport they've dumped you at because the landing charges are cheaper.

Where I use them they fly directly to the airport I want, Kerry, Cork, Almeria, Murcia, if I was flying anywhere else I would always check where they land! They don't always use obscure airports! this is another myth perpetuated by the Daily Mail!

My judgement is coloured by a bad experience. Same with Alitalia... lost my luggage, the b*st@rds.

Yeah and like I said, you really don't have a lot of choice if you want to fly in and out of Cork. The only time I remember flying into an airport that turned out to be miles away from anything (and we weren't hiring a car either plus there were no buses running on the day we were due to fly home so had to get the most expensive cab ride ever :/ ) was Brussels. We're flying direct from Cork to Milan Bergamo in a few weeks which isn't the main airport but it doesn't really matter this time because we're hiring a car and would have had a bit of a drive anyway.

RyanAir Strikes
have stopped all 250 flights to Germany.

The CEO has failed to sort it out.

They say they will refund
or try to find another Airliner to fly you.

[bitontheslide]

i've flown ryan air once and the plane was delayed 4 hours

Parents with a newborn baby were unable to get seats together, and the seat the woman did get was too close to the emergency exit so she wasn't allowed to hold the baby. It's getting that sort of stuff right that makes flying bearable, and saving a few quid just isn't worth it.

Again though if you live in Cork you don't have the luxury of choice alot of times, it's that there's literally no other airlines flying to where you want to go. We have aerlingus but they don't do all the same routes as Ryanair. For example the trip I have coming up to Italy, Ryanair are the only ones who fly to Italy direct from Cork, If I wanted to go with aerlingus we'd have to drive to Dublin first which is a bigger pain in the arse than flying with Ryanair
