Lock up your biros!

BBC News - Ryanair and Easyjet: The history of the peanut airlines

"At Ryanair, cost-cutting culture has been taken to an extreme that Southwest never practiced. O'Leary says he bans the buying of biros for the office at Ryanair. "Hotels are great companies that offer free biros," says O'Leary, "so I regularly purloin my biros and pens... and I'm happy to supply hotel pens whenever I can."

Customer service director Caroline Green says this isn't just another piece of O'Leary spin designed to get a bit of free publicity. "That one is true. Wherever we go, every piece of stationery is taken from the meeting room. It's just a corporate culture now." "

Ryanair has started running internal flights in Greece........................

What next?

I used to fly regularly with Easyjet.  The 10.15 p.m. flights from Luton to Athens were perfect for me.  When Easyjet stopped running the 10.15 p.m. flights from Luton, I started flying (less conveniently for me) on the Olympic flight at 10.15 p.m. from Heathrow.  Then when olympic stopped flying to heathrow earlier this year, I started flying with Aegean Air.

I find the 10.15 p.m. flight so good as you reach Athens airport in time to catch a bus to Piraeus, and catch one of the ferries leaving between 8 a.m and 9 a.m.
