UPDATE 14 Sept 09: They have scrapped flights, see my post about Ryanair stopping flights to La Rochelle
Just looking at various sites and could find nothing to explain the sudden apparent loss of Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday flights from La Rochelle to London Stansted. This post is purely to see if anyone has any inside knowledge and indeed want to start a conversation as to why Ryanair appear to have stopped flying from London to La Rochelle on Saturdays.
It must be a marketing ploy, I can think of no other reason..
BTW I stopped writing regualar posts on this La Rochelle blog as I felt I covered most subjects but if anyone wishes, it can continue.

I haven't posted here for a while, as I am now blogging the serious stuff over here and here, so I thought why not simply post things that amuse me on here? Every now and then some funny things will appear! This was in an email from a family member this morning (I fly this company almost weekly and I actually love their service but..):-
A man was sitting in the bar at Heathrow Terminal 3 and noticed a really
beautiful woman sitting next to him.
He thought to himself . 'Wow, she's so gorgeous she must be an air
hostess. I wonder which airline she works for?'
Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta
Airline slogan. 'Love to fly and it shows?'
She gave him a blank,confused stare and he immediately thought to himself .
'Well, she obviously doesn't work for Delta.'
A moment later,another slogan popped into his head. So he leaned towards
her again and said, 'Something special in the air ..?'
She gave him the same confused look. He mentally kicked himself and
scratched Singapore Airlines off his list.
He thought 'Perhaps she works for Thai Airways ...' and said,'Smooth as silk?'
This time,the woman turned on him and said, 'What the f**k do you want?'
The man smiled, slumped back in his chair and said . 'Ahhhhh, Ryanair!'

Every domestic flight cancelled....fog set to stay until Christmas...no flights....sleeping in tents..
Ok so I made the last bit up but hey!
I am due to fly to the UK on Sunday with my brood. Hearing things like that really worries you when you need to get home!
You see, all of my kids presents are in the UK. Just the kids. I am off in a minute to get the adults. Imagine if we don't get back...The kids will have nothing, in fact, see my earlier blog, they will get an orange!!!
But seriously, what would I do?
No idea. None whatsoever. I couldn't drive back, that would take 12 hours and not even be sure of getting on the train. I heard that the UK road network is snarled up this morning too (no surprise).
So, I am going to ring my friends at Ryanair and see if the will change my tickets free as they mentioned on their website this morning. If they say no, and our flights are cancelled, we are in danger of letting the Santa truth out once and for all..and that, won't be easy to tell!
