Ryanair's cautious. Are oil prices or Facebook to blame?

By - Tim Gunstone

Ryanair is cautious about future growth…it blames oil prices, I would like to know if customer mobile browsing habits or Facebook is also an issue?

The Irish Times on Wednesday last week told us “Despite plans to cut its winter capacity, and the hedging the airline has put in place, it expects its fuel bill will rise by €350 million in its 2012 financial year. As a result, net profit is expected to remain flat at about €400 million, a level that falls considerably below previous market expectations of €490 million.”

April Fools Winner Announced!

The winner of the free pass was chosen this week after a joke-off on the twittersphere. We invited all our contacts to tell their best travel joke to win a free pass to The Travel Distribution Summit Europe this May. Elliot Pritchard of Travel Republic was the chosen one- with this joke:


 "How many copywriters does it take to change a lightbulb? A: The dark is a wondrous place, full of mystery and intrigue"


We liked it. Runner up goes to Greg Abbott of DataArt for his excellent un-PC jokes. See #tds2011 on twitter to see them!

April Fool's Day

In case you haven't realised yet, March has whizzed by and tomorrow is 1st April - otherwise known as April Fool's Day. I received a press release from an airline today detailing their April Fool to be released tomorrow. I have to say it wasn't all that funny. I wonder if anyone will be fooled and if the hoped for publicity will be achieved?


Whilst there may be a couple of pranks played on our team tomorrow we won't be trying to fool our customers. We are however looking for funny and entertaining travel jokes. Simply tweet your best travel joke and include the Twitter hashtag #tds2011 and you could win a free conference pass to EyeforTravel's European Travel Distribution Summit, 10-11 May, London. With 7 conference tracks and a large exhibition it looks set to be a great event.  We'll be announcing the winner on this blog tomorrow evening so stay tuned!
