They still believe that they are offering a good service but apparently their fares work out dearer than BA on some routes.
I am going to continue to investigate alternatives, but I still prefer flying to Pescara.

We did not to bad with British Airways, Gatwick to Rome 50 pounds one way and you get 23 kg. free check in luggage.
Unless you travel with carryon only (as I do) the actual cost between airlines tends to be pretty much the same. Now if I could convince my wife to give up on the checked baggage!!!

I have checked a few other airports and we could get to Fiumcino from Gatwick but if we go from there it means a long journey either side and at least if we fly to Pescara it is only 30 minutes from Ofena. I know that that is not much compared to the length of your journeys but I still don't fancy that.
I guess that we shall have to carry on as we have been doing.

You won't have to worry about airlines when you make the move!
If you think Ryan Air is restrictive we fly Thomas Cook from Calgary and they only allow 5 Kg for carry on luggage!

I know.
Once we make the move we probably only go back to England a couple of times a year.
Unfortunately we cannot plan our move until the ceilings are repaired but I have been in touch with an English builder who lives in Abruzzo and we are hoping to meet up with him when we go over next time to get quotes for the repairs.

I noticed in the newspaper today that Ryanair took over £548 million in 'stealth charges last year and that is before he decided to increase his charges. An increase of 73%.
Apparently it is the Tesco of the skies.
Well it looks like I will be shopping there again in the next few weeks.

Have to travel with no luggage. The problem is printing a boarding pass if your not carrying a printer around!

Travelling tomorrow and I'am down to one carry on of 3 kg. It's going to be 26 in Calgary when we leave and 29 in Rome when we arrive, how about London? We have 5 hours between flights.

Beautiful weather here at the moment.
We are hoping to come over 4th Oct for a few days to meet up with some builders as my husbands operation has been cancelled. I have been in touch with a couple of Briitish ex pat builders so if we can get a reasonable quote we will see about getting the repairs started.

Have a good journey.
