Ryanair to test connecting flights
Ryanair will trial flight transfers this summer as it moves another step closer to mainstream airline practices. For years, Ryanair has been a strictly point-to-point carrier, going so far in years past as to actively warn prospective passengers against trying to make connections between two of its flights at major hubs. As part of its move toward legacy airline standards in the area of customer relations, however, the airline has said it will test a transfer service at London Stansted and Barcelona El Prat this summer. Stansted is Ryanair’s largest hub outside its Dublin home; it makes up more than 70% of the 20m passenger throughput at the airport. The trial “will allow customers to connect onto Ryanair flights without having to go back through security,” the airline said. <br/>
