    Oh, sorry, did I fail to mention that we only deal with small, locally owned hotels in South East Asia, most holidays being 2/3/4 centre ;)

    Niche holidays I like it. I was hoping Ryanair would fly to Chernobyl, always fancied a wander round the streets of a ghost town.

    They probably will, but knowing Ryanair they would just rename the airport Moscow City Airport first!

    Chernobyl is in the Ukraine. Moscow is Russia.Normally they land in at least the same country:rolleyes:. Apparently its near Kiev so ill let Michael know the next time we are doing lunch (Its his turn to pay;)) he could maybe add it on the next expansion into Eastern Europe. Kiev (Chernobyl) or Kiev (Dnypro):p

    'Copenhagen Airport' (Copenhagen is in Denmark) actually was in Sweden!

    'Oslo' Airport 130kms from Oslo.
    Frankfurt-Hanh - 140kms from Frankfurt
    Barcelona Reus & Girona - both 100+kms from Barcelona!

    Of course, this is the same airline that got into trouble in Norway for offering flights to 'London Prestwick!' in a newspaper advert :rotfl: (they claimed it was a typing error, but..!)

    Hamburg - Luebeck. That was an interesting day in Lubeck.

    I still think London Luton and London Stansted is pushing it a bit.
