Ryanair ****nsfw **** or nsfc**** or**** nsoh ***

I was sort of impressed with them when I flew into Sweden, a liyttle airport out in the sticks with what seemed part time airport staff, the runway was covered in snow, but Ryanair just landed the thing in conditions any British airport would be closed in. Fifteen minutes later, the aircraft was blasting off again, on a icy runway.

Now with a back ground in aviation, I know taking off and landing on ice is not that much of a problem as long as wheel brakes aren't used, which means the often ridiculed Ryanair pilots really know their stuff when it comes to using the aircraft engines for moving around on the ground, so they at least have my respect.

but here is another funny on the subject and says more about the policy towards passengers than the often maligned skill of the pilots;

That will be vasteras, I flew into Stockholm and had over an hours drive rather than fly with Ryanair for work. Mind you Stansted was 2 hours drive for me this side and Heathrow only 30 mins, so it evened itself out.

Yes, it was Vasteras, but couldn't think of the name when I posted, but thought it was Vadstena, but all that place has is an interesting church and a castle. Interesting train there though, it had a snow ram on the front and skis and snow shoes on the roof, the train I believe was the one that goes up into the arctic circle, Kiruna and beyond.

Stockholm Arlanda airport in nice though, Vasteras is a far cry from that, but is civilised and efficient.
