Hi Bryans,
We are blessed here in Ireland to have this direct flight from dublin to Biarritz. I managed to get my flight plus rucksack in the hold for just about €60. Just amazing value I hear all sorts of people complaining about Ryanair, but if it was not for them I would never have been able to go on the Camino.
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Buen Camino
I was going to be a bit sarcastic but will try not to be. Whatever you think of their style, service etc, Ryanair are great for accessing different points on the Camino. But wouldn't it be great to see Michael O'Leary on a Camino experiencing what his flights to Biarritz, Valladolid, Santiago etc mean to people?! I'd love that, and he might even get a warm glow in his heart (if he's got one). Doh! I just fell at the last hurdle.
Hi Keith,
Michael may be a bit of a loose cannon, but he pays his taxes here in Ireland unlike so many other wealthy businessmen who say they live abroad but manage to be here for every race meeting. If he were running the country we would not be in state that we are at present. Maybe one day one of us will tell him about the Camino.
I've found Ryanair most useful over the years. Yes, I was refused boarding way back ten years ago because I had no photo I.D. but once you read the rules & regulations you're flying!
