Ryanair bag drop machines up and running

That’s fantastic news!

It's always interesting to read the comments on WalesOnline Facebook posts. For the most part the comments are positive. Lack of city destinations gets mentioned a bit and there is anti CWL comments. Overall it does seem that the view for many is a positive one of Cardiff Airport...

The take-off and landing videos from my flight with WestJet from Cardiff

Cardiff will host the 2029 Women's Champions league final https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/02a9-2198ba4dbb92-00047bf4610c-1000--2028-and-2029-women-s-champions-league-finals-to-be-played/

Some more highlights from my trip to Canada

So apparently Chambery might be cut and replaced with Lyon.

Well the population of Ontario is 16 million with 6 million living in the Greater Toronto Area but also Westjet network allows connections from other parts of Canada. A woman on my flight was heading to Vancouver another couple to Ottawa though they actually drove from Ottawa rather than fly.

Info about the WestJet route from a Cardiff Airport Facebook post 17,500 passengers used the route 28% were UK nationals 59% were Canadian 13% other nationalities Top onward connections were Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton Furthest was St Maarten Busiest date was 1st August and busiest days...

I would also add it's potential good pr for the airport as well that helps raise awareness of the airport itself. The press and influencers etc get much more involved when it's something like a long-haul route or a prestigious airline like say Air France than if TUI or Ryanair add Alicante.

Some highlights from my Canada trip so far.

Well in a way that is what the airport management are trying to do. TUI and Ryanair are growing the passenger numbers, WestJet helps grow the inbound tourism and the focus on Cargo etc helps diversify the operation. The growth though has to be sustainable. The airport has been burnt before...

Can we please keep the conversation civil. Thanks.

From the Welsh government's point of view those types of routes bring in the investment it wants. Inbound tourism and connectivity to global hubs. Subsidising a Ryanair base would be mostly subsidising Welsh people going on holiday. Yes there might be some city routes that would bring...

The crew at the end were the crew for my flight

Could be a bit of both.

So far this is what's extra for the Six Nations Ryanair Cork 2 departures (19/2 & 21/2/27) Dublin 10 departures (18/2-22/2/27) Rome 2 departures (12/3 & 14/3/27) Aer Lingus Belfast 3 departures (19/2-21/2/27) Dublin 13 departures (19/2-21/2/27) An extra 30 departures (60 flights) I expect...

They've added Cork as well. Flights on the 19th and 21st February 2027. So it looks like at the moment Ryanair will operate an extra 14 departures for the Six Nations from Cardiff Cork 2 departures (19/2 & 21/2/27) Dublin 10 departures (15 in total) (18/2-22/2/27) Rome 2 departures (12/3 &...

Highlights from my flight with WestJet to Toronto today. Overall the flight was a good one. Seats were comfortable and I was lucky to get extra legroom seats when I paid for standard seats. Service wise WestJet seem to do the minimum. The meal was small but the cottage pie was tasty. Pre landing...

What's curious about Rome is that it appears on the drop down for Rome but not the other way around. May just be a temporary glitch.
