No sign of any flights to Corvera from Leeds or East Midlands for next year? Only Manchester, am I missing something? Sorry if this has been covered already.

I have found car hire for less than 10€ for a week/10 days (I purchase my own excess insurance which was €48 this year, however when I booked Goldcar via DoYouSpain from 18/27th September Goldcar were offering fully comp so no excess charge for an additional €50) but it is always out of season so April/May and September and later....the key to cheap car hire is always taking the time to check the car over and if you don't purchase their fully comp insurance then make sure you leave enough time back at the airport to have someone from the company check the car and sign it off.....

rotr - if you are able to fly from EM maybe you would consider Birmingham to RMU with the wonderful Ryanair.....flights on sale as I type.......

And if you do decide to fly with the 'Wonderful Ryanair' make sure you have your boarding cards before you get to the airport. A friend of mine was sent the email regarding checking-in but the Ryanair website was down. When they arrived at the airport they explained this but were told 'We have to send you the emails again.....'
'But we're here now.....?'
To no avail. They were charged an extra £140 for the emails....

Ryanair are not flying from Leeds Bradford next year.
Only airline flying there is Jet2.
At Jet2 prices I am afraid
However I think Ryanair are probably playing a bit of a poker game with Corvera,the operators & the Murcia regional government.
Maybe if or when enough financial sweeteners are offered they will fly from Leeds Bradford again.
I have taken lots of return flights to Corvera from Leeds Bradford & the planes were always full both ways

Mmmmm
Non priority boarders can check in either online or via their app from 48 hours up to 2 hours before boarding.
They can either download and or print their boarding passes.
The Ryanair website has never ever been down for 48 hours !

It is not a viable business model to simply fill an aircraft at silly prices, then stop the service claiming they were operating at a loss!
If you add up the additional costs to fly from Alicante, plus the wasted time, the Jet2 price from RMU looks more attractive. Given the problems with Boeing 737s cracking at the wing roots I will be glad not to suffer the Ryanair technique of slamming the plane into the tarmac on landing too!

As you can appreciate, they made a mistake. They just didn't expect to have to pay £140. I have never heard of that before.

Afraid it is well known.
Ryanair t&c's state 55 gbp or 55 euro to print a boarding pass at the airport.
Per person each way
