Reus to London
Once again I am disappointed in Ryan Air. My flight did not leave from Barcelona like I had expected but from a city called Reus. Reus is nowhere near Barcelona. I took an hour and a half train ride to Reus and then a 17 Euro taxi to the airport only to find out that I couldn’t sleep in the airport because it closed at eleven. Once again, no trains or buses arrived in Reus to make my flight; so I assumed it would be a repeat of Glasgow. My attempt to depart early from Reus was a failure. I tried to take that evening’s flight to London instead of the next day, and although it was wide open and I had a ticket for the next flight it was going to cost me 300 Euro (about $550). So I took another 17 Euro taxi ride to town, stayed in a sketchy hotel for 14 Euro and in the morning took another 17 Euro taxi back to the airport. I guess for those of you that are traveling to Europe and plan to take Ryan Air, don’t fly before eleven in the morning, transportation will be easier.

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends –
It gives a lovely light!

Having had almost exactly the same experience with Ryan Air out of Reus 5 years ago, I would say that nothing has changed except my "hotel" charged by the hour. Once is memorable, but twice is way over the top!!
