Ryanair Flight Availability Dates?

[rusgb]

Hi all,
I am marrying an Irish lady in the south of France this summer. When deciding a venue last year one of the key factors was Ryanair running cheap flights from Cork, Ireland (her home) to Carcassonne, France (the venue). However, the flights have not yet become available... I have read that they may not be available until closer to the summer, but we are not a million miles off now. I called them and all they can tell me is that there are no flights scheduled at the moment... I am starting to panic.

Does anyone know the Ryanair strategy any better, or anywhere else I can check?

Thanks for any help!

p.s. I am driving my TVR there, no need for flights for me!

Erm, so you arranged a wedding location based on someone planning to start operating there in a years time?

No, they were operating there regularly last year (and have done for a while now). From Cork last year it was only summer flights, and wedding venues need a 12 month advance booking... I still hope they will be operating there but would like to know for sure. There are already flights available from Dublin but that adds 3hrs to the journey time and will put the new in-laws in bad form!

Sounds like Dublin is summer only now too.

Youd think that if they were operating flights there in Summer you'd be able to buy them now. In previous years could you book the Cork/Carcassone summer only flights in Jan?

At least you know you can still get there from Dublin if you have to.

Note yuor comments. As a worst case Ryanair have flown for many years from Dublin to Carcassone, so a train from Cork to Dublin might be an option.

Think the flights should be out about March time, so I hope that helps.

Carcassone is a lovely city, especially the old town.

I have family down there and really enjoy the regular visits

Just in case anyone comes across this thread when searching, the Ryanair flights became available in March, so about three months before they fly. Pretty annoying that they couldn't tell me that in January when everyone was booking flights from Dublin instead of Cork!
