Anyone know what an AT7 is?

Personally i'd take the direct Ryanair flight. They've had bad press recently with the 25min turnarounds and pilot breakdowns etc :D but taken in context you're unlikely to die using them.

As i'm sure you're aware their customer service is terrible but as a means to an end i'd use them to get to Paris directly.
 
Ryanair will get you there, cheaply, usually on time (albeit due to generous flight windows) with no frills.

Don't be a tart.
 
As above, it's the code for an ATR-72. They're quite nice aircraft, I flew on a few in Malaysia a few months ago.

Have you thought about taking the train? Or is Plymouth - London not much fun by train?
Gare du Nord is very practical. Certainly less hassle than faffing about in airports, etc.

I'm not going to Paris, she wants to go to Prague, its just a connection in Paris otherwise I'd use the train for sure.
 
EasyJet fly the Bristol to Prague route.

Connecting in Paris is stupid, just to avoid sitting in a blue and yellow plane for a few hours. Even if RyanAir was more then Air France I would pay it to avoid a change for such a short flight.
 
never mind - solved it :)

it'll be this flight:

ATR72 it is :)
 
The plot thickens.

It could well be an ATR42.

Airlinair operates a fleet of turboprops, some on behalf of Air France. They have an ATR42 in AF livery, the rest of them (72's included) are plain white unmarked.

So is it more expensive all in all to go by ryanair?

Yes - the package offered Air France as the cheapest option, with Ryanair at an extra £30 with a note saying 'Additional fees for checked baggage apply'.

So even if I took nothing with me Air France is still marginally cheaper.

Have you seen their safety record? I'm led to believe that as they are registered in Ireland rather than the UK they don't have to file MORs (or at least not to the same requirements).

If they did have to file them in the way UK airlines do I'm told they'd file several times more than the average and almost an order of magnitude more than airlines like BA.

Personally, that combined with how much I hate Michael O'Leary means I would never fly with them. Easyjet I'm fine with but Ryanair no.

That said, MORs don't necessarily mean life threatening safety breaches, they cover all sorts but as I recall BA file them for something like 5-6% of all flights, Ryanair would have to file them for something like 65% of their flights. I can dig out the links if anybody is curious...

*Nods*

A friend of mine flew to San Fran last year and five minutes before boarding he received a phone call telling him the routing of his flight, predicted weather and approach into SFO.
