With Ryanair it is always all about money. I have used them a few times when their cost and flight times makes any other choice seem silly, and mostly they have done the job - hardest seating of anyone (thin cushions to save weight?), heaviest landings since my air cadet days in a V-bomber, need to take extreme care to keep within all their little rules - luggage and boarding passes, but I want to fly to Leeds, so am now forced onto Jet2 if I want to avoid the awful small city that is Alicante airport......the locals must be ashamed of it as there are no signs to it on the motorway!

Ryanair has, as you put it, 'given up'  on flights from Luton to Corvera, which is in the South.

Ryanair has stopped flying to Luton, with no schedule restarting in April.

When we flew back EastMids to Covera end November there were only 70 seats occupied out of 189. Doesn't need a statistition to work out if it's viable for a plane operator to schedule flights at the end of a year.Its quite different during the holiday season with many flights available. It's our first time here this time of the year having moved in June. Have seen so many folk returning to the uk after the summer season. The place down here on D is quite empty at the moment.

UNFORTUNATELY, there are NO FLIGHTS from GLASGOW TO CORVERA FROM OCTOBER TILL APRIL ! I don’t understand why we can’t get flights all year round ? So if the airport is struggling there’s One reason I know a lot of Scots who own properties in Murcia and holiday in Murcia who have No option but to fly into Alicante ?

Yes, unfortunately Corvera is situated in the wrong location - handy for people living nearby, Camposol and the Mazarron area but not so handy for further up the coast, Mar Menor etc where the majority of pepole visiting the Costa Calida want to be. That's why the old San Javier (Murcia) airport ...

...was so popular and had record numbers of folk using it. 

Look at a map and I would say Corvera is very well sited, the centre if the Murcia region and easy access to two major cities, Murcia City and Cartegena.

@Ginger totally agree - I don't see the problem.

Unfortunately no matter where the airport is situated there will always be peole who complain that it is not convenient for them - such hardship. 

Basically - if you can get a flight into Corvera, use Corvera. If not, then I am sure that Alicante is available to you. Think yourself lucky that you potentially have a choice of two airports rather than moaning that you might have to travel a bit further, etc. 

Being able to fly from one country to another to visit your 2nd or whatever property should be seen as a priviledge, not a right - so take advantage of whatever is available to you to exercise the priviledge.

If it is such a problem for you - give it some serious thought for a few moments. I am sure that there are lots of people in the world who would love to have the choice of having a similar problem.

My husband had to do 24 hours in Dublin..was due to leave Dublin at 5pm last night and arrive into Corvera 8.30pm local..when they were all boarded,it was announced there would be a 2-3 hour delay..and they had to sit on plane.

Anyhow flight took off at 6.05 pm...into Alicante..and they were to be bused to Corvera.my husband is a very bad bus traveller..so he paid €100 for a taxi to get home to Los Naranjos...This to me is most unfair..
