Although Ryanair flies to a number of French airports, it does not include Nice in its flight patterns. I'd like that to change.
OK, I realize that I can not have everything I want. After the news broke today that discount airline Ryanair is boosting up its number of flights from Stockholm, Sweden by 13, however, I got to thinking. Why doesn't Ryanair include Nice, France in any of its flight patterns? They added Baden Baden. And Bratslava. Basel and Berlin.
My guess is that there is a reason, other than just simply not liking Nice, I mean, everybody likes the French Riviera, no? The reason is probably political - French politicians can be ... difficult. Or maybe it's financial in some way I just don't understand. Maybe it's because they see the Cote d'Azur as the playground for the rich and famous, in other words, people who aren't interested in a "discount airline."
I'm going to try to contact Ryanair and find out the reason - wish me luck - but until then, consider this my call for Europe's largest discount area to consider us little people on the Riviera. We need you, Ryanair. We need more discount flights.
Sure, we’ve got easyJet and a few others, but they never seem to be flying where I want to go. For reasons unknown even to myself, I think the flamboyant (he did dress up as a Viking to announce the new Swedish routes) Michael O’Leary would just know what I desire. In an airline, that is.
Until then, I’ll get by with the airlines offered here in Nice (truth be told, there are quite a few), but it doesn’t mean a girl can’t dream.
