Ryanair flights to Murcia
Comments

How do you know they will be paying more? Ryanair do not have the monopoly on cheap fares.;) And then of course some of us like to take luggage and not be treated like SLC, BA being my airline of choice.
I said this years ago that anyone who bought a property abroad at some area not supported by a major airport because RA flew there would have to take into account that RA could and would probably pull out of the route at the drop of a hat.
Anyway Alicante is near enough, we fly there to get to Las Balconies, about an hours drive.
They are cheaper on about 95% of like for like routes.
If that is the Las Balcones at Torrevieja, you are more than welcome to it.:)0 -
Now you know that is a sweeping statment that you can not prove. And like for like meaning what? Included meals, luggage, carry on allowence, booking fee, check-in fee? I can tell you for fact the RA are more expensive than BA most of the time when all of this is taken into account.They are cheaper on about 95% of like for like routes.

Yes it is that Las Balcones, we like it, over looking the salt lakes and the flamingos;)The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0 -

" Like for like " = same route.
I do not need a meal on a 2 hour 30 minute journey, I do not need to take hold luggage, no booking fee on RA using a pre - paid Mastercard.
I pay an average total of about £45.00 return on RA to /from Alicante, I don't recall anything like that on BA, who only fly from a few airports anyway.
All I can recall of Torrevieja was graffiti, dog poo and broken glass everywhere, I drove straight out of the dump.
It is also crime ridden as well I believe.0
