I quite agree Jek,O`leary is a very astute businessman. Everytime he opens his mouth and makes a statement it creates publicity and there is no such a thing as bad publicity in his game.Even if it`s controversial,it gets everyone talking about his airline.

Easyjet just can`t match his prices anymore.

I`ve just booked a return from Alicante to Bournemouth for €64 return to fly my helper back to the UK.

I come off ferry at Portsmouth and drive down to Bournemouth and pick him up at the airport. If the helper was travelling with me on the ferry from Bilbao or Santander,then Brittany Ferries charge me €150 each way for the 2nd man.

So keep up the good work Ryanair.

Have just got back home to Spain again after another trip and have used the Portsmouth - Santander route.

The problems already appearing since the demise of P&O are that on the Santander - Portsmouth leg,I couldn`t get a reservation,I was number 6 on the wait list,so had to drive through France and use the Caen- Portsmouth route. A driver on the ferry with me this week,trying to book back on for mext week was informed he was number 22 on wait list.How am I expected to commit to my customers on dates if I can`t get confirmation from the ferry company.

The next thing as I predicted at the start of this thread was that my fare has increased by almost £200 each way compared top Bilbao -Portsmouth with P&O.

Like it or not,I can see me having to do a lot more journeys up through France unless another carrier gives BF some competition.

I`ve just had a call from a man called Robert in Huercal Overa area wanting a lift back to the UK in my lorry for him and his wife.I only have one passenger seat so unable to help.

If anyone is heading for Bilbao,Santander or even through France,he is more than willing to pay his share of fuel etc.

Eventually going to Wakefield but anywhere in UK will be great.

If you can help,please call Robert on 649757802

 

Thanks  Jimbo
