Title: Ryanair to begin BHD-BRS flights
Post by: Dave on February 12, 2009, 08:12:23 PM
Starting on 30th March (judging by trial and error on the Ryanair website), Ryanair will begin daily flights between Belfast and Bristol and from what I can tell, this is in addition to the 4 current destinations thus they will not be replacing any destinations. Good stuff!

By the way, Ryanair are having a cheap flight sale on at the moment thus you may be lucky and get return flights to Prestwick (or Liverpool, East Midlands or Stansted) for £1 each.

I am tempted to take a days spotting at East Midlands however finding a day suitable for both myself and a friend is proving difficult.

Wouldn't mind a day trip to Prestwick at those prices

I was tempted to go to Prestwick myself however the road along side the airport runway produces backlit photos all day thus theres no where thats too good for spotting.

Actually I just found another spotting place thats suitable all day so since that was the only thing holding me back, i'll be booking my tickets to Prestwick now :)

Just booked myself 6 Ryanair flights during March. Two return trips to East Midlands for the day, and 4 short 3 hour return trips to Prestwick on every Tuesday morning in March. Will book a day trip to Stansted tomorrow. With each flight costing 1p and with no credit card charge (the girlfriend has a visa electron which has no surcharge), all 14 flights cost 14p in total :) A bargin but still expensive when you consider the flights are meant to be 'free'  ;D

The Prestwick trips will be hit and miss as we'll only have 2 or 3 hours of spotting thus might not see a single plane, but then we might see a few 747's or Antonov's. Happy Days!
