Sandie 53 Posted January 15, 2008 Birmingham Becomes Ryanair's 25th Base $700M INVESTMENT TO DELIVER 5M PAX P.A. AND 5,000 JOBS Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline today (Tuesday, 15th January 2008) announced its 25th European base in Birmingham with an initial two Boeing 737-800 aircraft ($140m investment) which will deliver 20 new routes from Birmingham to Denmark (1), France (5), Italy (5), Norway (1), Poland (3), Portugal (1), Slovakia (1), Spain (2) and Sweden (1). This will be followed by a further 8 Boeing 737-800 aircraft ($560m investment) which will deliver 5 million passengers annually, a visitor spend of £400m p.a. and sustain 5,000 jobs in the West Midlands. DESTINATION STARTS FARE Barcelona 1 April £24 Biarritz 1 July £24 Billund 17June £24 Bologna 20 June £24 Bratislava 1 July £24 Bydgoszcz 4 July £24 Dinard 17 June £24 Dublin Operating £10 Gdansk 1 July £24 Marseille 1 May £24 Olbia 4 July £24 Oslo 17 June £24 Perpignan 2 July £24 Pisa 4 April £24 Poitiers 17 June £24 Porto 20 June £24 Shannon Operating £ 5 Stockholm 2 July £24 Trieste 18 June £24 Reus 18 June £24 Rzeszow 18 June £24 Trapani 2 July £24 Announcing Ryanair’s 25th base in Birmingham, Michael O’Leary said: “The people of Birmingham have been woefully underserved and overcharged by British Airways and Flybe’s high fares for years. Ryanair’s new base will smash this high fare stranglehold by delivering savings of £130m next year for Birmingham’s passengers / visitors. “Direct international routes are fundamental to the economic development of a city like Birmingham and the people of the West Midlands can now look forward to Europe’s guaranteed lowest fares and best punctuality on 22 international routes with Ryanair. This route count will more than double as a result of Ryanair’s $700m investment in Birmingham, bringing with it a significant increase in European visitors and jobs for the West Midlands “To celebrate the launch of our new base, we are offering all passengers who buy a return flight on any route from Birmingham (before midnight on Thursday) a free bonus flight, (no taxes, no fees and no charges*) for travel in February to Dublin or Shannon from Birmingham. This special offer must end midnight Thursday so we advise passengers to book their bargain seats today on www.ryanair.com”. *See www.ryanair.com for details Still trying to get more information on this. Even Daddyfairy didnt know to much about it. I have already booked from Stansted but may be worth considering cancelling, taking the cancel fee and re-booking from Birmingham IF the deals are good.

Sandie 53 Posted January 15, 2008 Just done some playing and it would seem they are operating on Monday and Fridays only. Outbound to Bydgoszcz 6pm departure Return to BHX - 21:35 departure So fly out on Friday 12th and Return Monday 15th = £48.45 So long as you dont mind arriving in Poland around 9pm and back in Blighty at 11pm - sounds good to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Does anyone out there understand the tax they charge? It always seems like a random amount to me! Outbound the tax is more than he flight, but coming back, the tax is about 66% the cost of the flight which is already cheaper than the outbound flight Amazing how a £20 and a £15 flight comes to £70 Thank God Tescos don't work this way Now need to find somewhere good to stay, any tips?

This is why the tax is different each way so Birmingham will charge Ryan air one charge (ie the £20 odd pounds) & Bydgoszcz will charge Ryanair a different amount. I know East Midlands airport tax is cheaper than Manchester (& Birmingham by the looks of it) for example. I think that is right anyway, but all airports seem different & is why some cheap flights aren't so cheap when you go through to try & book a flight!
