We have just heard that Ryan Air are pulling out of Newquay, Cornwall. Ryan Air have had Newquay to Alicante flights during the summer months for a few years but report that they are fed up with the Cornwall Council Airport Tax of £5.00 per person on departures. This is a real blow to people in Cornwall where alternatives are as far as Bristol for Ryan Air or Easy Jet or Exeter for Flybe. We are not as fortunate as people in the Midlands or the South East who have much more choice of who they wish to travel with and from which airport. Just to add to the problems, Air South West have just pulled their flight from Newquay to London making it even harder for Cornish travellers.

Having a place in Almoradi, a short drive from Alicante Airport on the Costa Blanca, and being retired, means that future long stays in Spain will cost us a fortune in airport parking while more regular but shorter stays will cost in air fares. The Newquay service seemed to be well used and I'm sure it will affect a lot of people. If anyone is affected by this loss of service I'd be happy to hear their comments.

We have just heard that Ryanair are pulling out of Newquay Cornwall. There have been Newquay to Alicante flights during the summer months since 2005. Ryanair blame the "continued imposition" of the £5 charge per departing passenger, imposed by Cornwall Council.

This is a real blow to people in Cornwall where alternatives are as far as Bristol for Ryanair or Easyjet, or Exeter for Flybe. We are not as fortunate as people living in the Midlands or South East who have much more choice of who they wish to travel with and which airport to fly from. Just to add to the problems, Air South West have recently pulled their flights from Newquay to London making it even harder for Cornish travellers.

We have a place in Almoradi, Cost Blanca, not far from Alicante Airport and, being retired, means thatfuture long stays in Spain will cost a fortune in airport parking while more regular short stays will cost in air fares.

The Newquay service seemed to be well used and I'm sure it will affect a lot of people. If anyone is affected by this loss of service I'd be happy to hear their comments.

Hi Sue

Sorry to hear about the break in, it must have been very upsetting. The point about entry from the garage is one that has crossed my mind as well. For those of us who are on the ground floor it is particularly worrying because of the very poor arrangement for the kitchen door. I think most of us have grills now and I would recomend anyone who have not had them fitted to do so. Also I notice that the door at the top of the stairs to the basement have a lock as well as the one at the bottom in the basement but I've not got any keys to them and wonder if anyone else has either. If we had keys and took the trouble to lock the doors we would be helping to protect each other. I'm out on the 30th July for four weeks and I will talk to Rob about keys.

I hope it will all be resolved for you soon Sue and thank you for the warning.

Hi Doreen

Good to see you both over the Easter. Re. the snagging, one other thing which is also external is that our bedroom window grilles are rusting already. We enjoyed our time despite the weather which has now gone full circle and is in Cornwall. See you at the end of May so Marion has asked for you to please arrange for the sun to be out!

Regards

 

Ken and Marion

Hi

Good to see you again after such a long time, (and not at 6.00 in the morning!). We are flying out on Sunday 27th May for a week. Will you be out there then? If so, we'll have that glass of wine on the patio!  We enjoyed our two weeks over the Easter period but it was a pity about the weather. Should be good in May. Now we are back home in Cornwall the weather has changed and we are in the rain again!

Regards

Ken and Marion
