What RyanAir does labeling airports that are WAY outside the city as being in a city should be criminalized, as should their entire business model. At least this one isn’t 100km away like the one they use for “Paris”
Anyway, I’m trying to get TO this backwoods airport, not FROM it.
Hi,
if you want to get from the city centre to the airport, you can also use the same shuttle bus as described in the text.
Also, you can simply check all the details about departures and tickets here.
