Heh. The people have spoken, and they are not fond of Ryanair.

Though they seem to like Toronto even more than they dislike Ryanair.

I wonder if Katowice is insufficiently famously dreadful to pick for the November stopover; I thought thoroughly Stalined industrial Silesia would have put more people off ...

I have just priced a RyanAir trip to Germany, and decided I am willing to pay DOUBLE (or more) to fly on a reputable carrier (or anyone except RyanAir!)

Part of this is that I am going for a music weekend, and the cost of my one checked bag and a guitar is MORE than my flights (including taxes), but included in the cost of the other carriers, who also are a lot more accomodating if you are late for your flight etc. etc.

I will only travel RyanAir if it is with someone else who must fly on them, to an airport that only RyanAir serves, when I can take all my luggage in a small carry on bag, and hell has frozen over, twice.

I assume, if you're talking "train" that it's not "Toronto, Ontario, Canada"

No, it was Toronto, Ontario, Canada, precisely because at one point I was sent there by my employer for a conference Tuesday to Thursday, and used a couple of days of holiday and some flight-booking flexibility to spend Saturday to Sunday there. Which was, indeed, yay! Toronto!
