Cardiff Airport

Re: Cardiff Airport

Ryanair are doing four routes from Cardiff at the moment, think it's Malaga, Alicante, Faro and Dublin. Nothing big or even close to Bristol, but there was a time when Ryanair were saying that they wouldn't deal with Cardiff as the taxes were way too high for landing, taking off etc. Small steps and all that. We need an Airport in this country. Hopefully it can thrive over the next few years or so.

Do they reach the plane's door?

Good one. If O leary had his way, punters would be shot out from cannon gun onto the plane with an extra charge of £20 for the privilege.

Coming back from Dublin on Ryan Air about 20 years ago we were put on the wrong flight (Bournemouth). When they realised their mistake they asked probably a dozen in total to alight the aircraft (it’s ok we hadn’t taken off🤣). As I was stepping off the air hostess asked me what was happening. I said we’d been told to leave the plane. In those couple of seconds conversation though they’d taken the stairs away. Fair play the air hostess just managed to grab my shirt collar as I stepped out onto nothing! If she hadn’t I’d have been a right mess on the tarmac. But my missus had made it onto the stairs, and it was so strange to see her holding on tight as the stairs were driven back to the terminal!! When we complained by letter to Ryan Air, their response was “it could never have happened “!!

Ryanair should have taken steps to prevent that.

Don't get me started, Drakeford is a complete fing clown and incompetent c**t

Other than that he's a great guy!

Re: Cardiff Airport

He's the best thing to ever happen to this Country, Better than Tom Jones, May Boyce and even Shaky.

He actually spoke a lot of sense, but he just looked, and sounded, a bit weird for ‘some’.

Re: Cardiff Airport

The Sir Mark Drakeford Airport. When the great man gets his reward lets name the Airport after him. Fully deserved.

No, he never did. Not once.

Re: Cardiff Airport

I’ve been planning a trip, which will mean long distance flights. I thought I’d make my life easier, by flying from Cardiff to Amsterdam, and transferring on from there. But it works out almost £500 more expensive to go via Cardiff/Amsterdam, than via Heathrow. Why is that? You’d think they would be trying to move flights away from Heathrow.

You must have had a fanny for a Grampy then, and he was the First Minister, well that was the title.

His refusal to leave the Union was his Achilles heel. Lots of Labour voters ideally would have voted Plaid, but used to be afraid of splitting the vote in Wales, and letting the Tories in…not any more!
