Default RYANAIR TO REVOLUTIONISE EUROPEAN AIR TRAVEL

Inte helt vad jag hade i tankarna:

RYANAIR TO REVOLUTIONISE EUROPEAN AIR TRAVEL


FARES REDUCED BY 9% (£2.50 OR €3.50) FROM 16TH MARCH '06
WEB CHECK-IN TO ELIMINATE CHECK-IN AND AIRPORT QUEUES
LUGGAGE ALLOWANCES INCREASED FROM 25KGS TO 30KGS
PASSENGERS ONLY PAY FOR THE BAGGAGE SERVICE THEY USE
Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline today (Wednesday, 25 th January 2006) announced details of its next revolution in European low fare air travel. From the 16th March, Ryanair will introduce a number of key service improvements for all passengers including (1) all Ryanair’s fares will be reduced by 9% (£2.50 or €3.50), (2) all passengers travelling with hand luggage and in possession of an EU passport will be able to check-in on the web at www.ryanair.com and by-pass all check-in and airport queues, (3) these passengers will also be given priority boarding which will also eliminate boarding gate queues as well, (4) for bookings after 16th March, Ryanair is increasing each passenger’s luggage allowance from the current 25kgs to 30kgs (comprising 10kgs carry-on and 20kgs checked-in luggage) which will substantially reduce excess baggage fees and finally (5) all passengers travelling with checked in luggage who book after 16th March will now pay a fee of £2.50 (€3.50) per bag, per flight if booked in advance on the website, or £5.00 (€7.00) per bag, per flight if presented unbooked at the airport.

As a result of these changes, those 25% of Ryanair’s passengers who presently travel with just hand luggage will avail of lower fares, will avoid the inconvenience of check-in or boarding gate queues and will no longer cross subsidise those passengers travelling with checked in luggage. A further 50% of Ryanair’s current traffic (who travel with just one checked in bag) will see no change in their cost of travel, as the £2.50 ticket price reduction will fund their £2.50 baggage fee if booked on the internet. These passengers will enjoy much shorter queues at check-in thanks to the large numbers of people who will now switch to web check-in, thereby reducing the airport check-in queues. Lastly those passengers who presently travel with more than one checked in bag will see the cost of their travel rise by the £2.50 (€3.50) per bag for their second and subsequent bags. These passengers will also enjoy shorter check-in queues, and will be encouraged to travel with less checked in luggage which would then make these changes cost neutral for them as well.

This 9% “across the board” reduction in Ryanair’s ticket prices from 16th March will make these changes revenue neutral for Ryanair. The airline estimates that the reduction in ticket revenues and excess baggage fees will cost Ryanair more than £100m per annum. These lower fares will stimulate further traffic growth and increase the current (50%) price differential between Ryanair’s prices and the average ticket prices of our higher fare competitors such as Easyjet. We expect as a result of these measures, and in particular the attraction of web check-in and priority boarding that more and more of Ryanair’s customers will be incentivised to travel with hand luggage only and take advantage of Ryanair’s industry leading 10kgs of carry-on luggage.

The upside for Ryanair in these initiatives will be the opportunity to significantly reduce airport and handling costs. We believe that between 40% to 50% of passengers will quickly switch to our new web check-in/priority boarding service. This will allow Ryanair to reduce the number of check-in desks, baggage hall and other handling facilities we rent at major airports. It will significantly reduce the number of check-in and baggage handling staff required to handle individual flights, although the airline expects few reductions in staffing numbers in these areas, as existing numbers will be required to handle our rapid growth. Ryanair believes that its airport and handling costs will be reduced by over 10%, which equate to a saving of some €30m. This saving would equate to 10% of Ryanair’s current year forecast after tax profits.

Announcing these changes in London, Michael O’Leary, Ryanair’s Chief Executive said:

“Many sceptics have doubted whether Ryanair could drive its fares even lower. Well today we prove the doubters wrong. From 16th March next, Ryanair will reduce its fares by almost 10% across the board. Ryanair will also become the first low fares airline in Europe to make web check-in available for all our customers and we believe that this service will prove enormously attractive to passengers who wish to avoid those frustrating queues at airport check-in, at security, and at the boarding gate as well.

“These changes will also be welcomed by the overwhelming majority of our remaining passengers who will still be checking in one bag, as these passengers will enjoy lower air fares, but also shorter and faster moving queues at airport check-in. We have no doubt that this pioneering development for checked in bags is the way forward, as it will encourage and incentivise more passengers on short-haul journeys to travel with hand luggage only. Ryanair’s higher carry-on limit of 10kgs, and our new increased checked in allowance of 20kgs will largely eliminate excess baggage charges.

“These changes will enable Ryanair to reduce our airport and handling costs across the network. We will require fewer and less expensive airport facilities such as airport check-in and baggage hall facilities. We will carry fewer bags making our aircraft lighter and improving our fuel consumption. Our existing check-in and baggage handling personnel will now be able to accommodate significantly greater traffic numbers as we aim to double the size of the airline over the coming five years.

“Ryanair started the low fares revolution in Europe back in 1990. We have continued to pioneer changes in both the cost and practice of air travel over the past 15 years. Today’s announcement takes this revolution one step further. With a 9% reduction in Europe’s lowest air fares and the first web check-in facility for low fare passengers, we believe that up to half of Ryanair’s passengers will now be encouraged to avoid airport queues. Short-haul travel in Europe will never have been cheaper or more convenient than Ryanair will make it this year”.

Uansett hvilke nyheter Ryanair kommer med, vil dere aldri bli fornøyde og se det positive i det

Egentlig underer jeg på hvorfor det er så populært å hakke løs på Ryanair , høyst sannsynlig fra folk som aldri har vært ombord. Spesielt da en har mer nære ting å gyve løs på.......

Tja...kanskje ikke revoilusjonerende, men noe nytt i allefall. Praktisk at en nå kan sjekke inn på nettet for dem som reiser uten bagasje. Trodde ikke en trengte det i utgangspunktet. Med Norwegian kan en jo gå rett til gaten om en har printet ut billetten med strekkoden.

Forstår ikke helt hvordan Ryanair argumenterer med at det vil bli kortere køer foran innsjekkingsskrankene når dem selv sier at dem skal redusere antall skranker etc. Køene blir nok like lange, men kun bestående av passasjerer med bagasje...så køene vil kanskje gå saktere siden få passasjerer uten bagasje vil stå i dem. Og nå skal dem jo i tillegg ta betalt for ekstra bagasje...og det vil jo ta tid så køene vil nok gå saktere. Men Ryanair vil jo tjene på reduserte kostnader ved innsjekk, og får i tillegg økte inntekter på bagasjen.

Jeg hakker da også jævnligt på Ryanair, og ja,jeg har fløjet med FR flere gange,og
hver gang sagt til mig selv, at dette var sidste gang.
Det er ikke så meget afgangene fra AAR, idet her kender jeg jo personalet der foretager
indcheck....
----
Det er problemet med London Stansted jeg er utilfreds med......
manglende service osv osv osv..........Sidste gang fortsatte vil til Nord italien, og jeg oplevede en total mangel på service.....Vi var 15 minutter sent fra AAR og havde
rigtig god til i STN, troede vi, men FR lukkede for indcheck 1 time før afgang....
---
DEt er meget meget uflexibelt synes jeg.......efter nogen overtagelse, blev vi dog
indchecket, kun for at erfare at vores bagage ikke var med flyet...og vi måtte selv
hente den i Treviso. en tur på ca. 200 km....
------
Nå jeg HAR flyet FR for sidste gang.....Næste gang hedder der det Sterling til Venedig

Hilsen
Ole

Hittils 32 legs med FR och endast en försening (på grund av snöstorm i Sverige) men med perfekt information. Också 2 diversions varav den senaste i förra veckan (dimma i Girona) till Reus, mycket bra information och perfekt hanterat, buss till Girona, absolut inget att klaga på.

Men de gir da opplevelser utenom det vanlige!

Sist vinter fløy jeg med de od det er eneste gang jeg har opplevd at crewet står i midtgangen og samler inn søppel i det flyet lander og treffer bakken.

Kunne blitt stygg for crewet dette om noen hadde slengt med leppa....

Har reist med FR en gang - forsåvidt helt kurrant. Vi gikk på tid, landet på tid. Men man får jo litt plastikkfølelse ombord i flyene. Og det er jo ikke god plass ombord..... Men man får det man betaler for - totalt sett helt greit, ikke noe mer

Og ofte fra folk som er ansatt i andre flyselskaper kanskje? Ryanair har jo innført et helt nytt prisnivå (med standard deretter selvsagt). Men de flyr jo, i motsetning til visse andre selskaper ....

Når man kan fly til over halve prisen med ryanair så overlever jeg og sitte 2 timer i et litt trangt fly, ikke få mat og reise fra Sandfjord til Oslo. I allefall når man er student :P

Satt igjen med et godt inntrykk jeg. 550 Tur/retur London med ryanair i motsetning til SAS som skulle ha 1400 for billigste billett. Kan spise MYE godt mat for de pengene man sparer

Vil du ha rene fly og rene toaletter - så bør man vel fly kun første flight...resten av dagen så blir det vel bare dårligere og dårligere med renholdet...

Har hatt total 12 legs med dem rundt i Europa på ca. 2år.

Alt har vært perfekt, on time, hygggelig crew, god opplysning fra cockpit, relativt rene fly, selv siste ankomst STN kl 22.00.

Meget gode sikkerhetsrutiner ( sommenlignet med flere skrekkeksempler på BUSK, hvor de blåste i alt ).

Komforten er akkurat den samme som alle 189 seters 737-800 som NB, BLX , også SK's domestic ( den har 179 grunnet mer plass til galley ). Lett å få nødutgang hvis du sjekker inn tidlig og står først i køen. Mye bedre enn DK A320 på charter og hakket bedre enn DY.

Faktisk greit i de nyeste -800 hvor en ikke kan legge ned setet. Sitter godt og du slipper å se rett ned i hårrota på alle de som til enhver tid slenger ned setet foran deg.

Forstår at de ikke har lomme i setet foran. Det blir jo kun brukt til oppbevaring av søppel. Spesielt da du er velkommen til å ta med medbrakt mat og drikke, og de fjerner ditt søppel med et smil hvis du gir det til dem.

Uansett fleste leg'er er under to timer, de lengste som Palermo-London ca. 2 t 30 min.
