Why would Ryanair want to fly to Paphos/Larnaca?

If the truth be known, the average Ryanair passenger (who pays very little for the flight) would not be interested in paying more for a meal for two in a taverna than the flight to Cyprus itself. Or try a taxi (smoke filled, dirty with tail light out, you know the ones?) to a hotel from the airport or to town, perhaps five times more expensive than the flight tickes itself? Or on the other hand, maybe the 'naff' bingo nights, karaoke evenings and such that Cypriot 'taverna' owners seem to think British tourists all want would indeed offer appeal to O'Leary's followers.

It's no surprise that Cyprus wants tourist numbers to increase. We all do. Until the CTO clean up the act of the likes of taxis, hoteliers, restauranteurs and shopkeepers ripping off tourists this will not happen. Hermes Airports can be included in this group as they are set to increase airport user fees by 10% imminently. There are thousands of so called 'unemployed; Cypriots on the dole now. Make them work for their handouts, clean up the roads and countryside for goodness sake. Untill this happens, the likes of Turkey and Egypt are on to a winner taking tourist cash from Cypriots. Modernise the tourist product, moderate prices and clenliness, sweep the beaches etc. and days will get better...

Oh and another thing, expedite the roadworks!

You can tell which are Ryanair flyers when they arrive at their destination airport - they all have red faces and crossed legs Ryanair confirms it WILL bring in charges for on-board toilets

Ryanair has confirmed that it is pushing ahead with its controversial scheme to charge passengers for use of toilets on its aircraft, meaning spending a penny on a flight will soon cost as much as a pound.
The no-frills airline is working with Boeing to redesign the cabin and develop coin-operated toilets on 168 of its planes.
Not content with charging passengers for use of the facilities, the airline is also looking at reducing the number of toilets on board, leaving just one available cubicle for up to 189 passengers.
More charges: Spending a penny could soon cost a pound
To use the remaining toilet on board, passengers would be forced to part with either £1 or €1 for each visit.
Stephen McNamara, spokesperson for the airline, told TravelMail: 'By charging for the toilets we are hoping to change passenger behaviour so that they use the bathroom before or after the flight.
'That will enable us to remove two out of three of the toilets and make way for at least six extra seats on board.'

The airline already charges for food and drink on board as well as leveraging a charge for credit card payments, hold luggage, online and airport check-in and high fees for luggage weighing more than 15kg.

Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary first suggested the toilet charges last year but the budget carrier appeared to backtrack on the idea.

However, the airline has confirmed its plans in its latest in-flight magazine, although Mr McNamara said the charges would not be coming in this summer.

Sky high prices: Snacks on no-frills flights can cost nearly quadruple what they would cost in the supermarket
The confirmation of further charges on board comes just as a new survey has shown that low-cost carriers are charging sky-high prices for food and drink.
Passengers pay 374 per cent more for snacks on flights than they would at the supermarket, according to statistics from price comparison site travelsupermarket.com.

When TravelMail asked Ryanair about the price of food on board, Mr McNamara said: 'I would like to know how much Tesco are charging for flights from Barcelona to London.'

They are taking the piss, or perhaps not!
