I seem to have been followed around by Ryanair at several French airports last weekend. It’s not unusual for the entire airport staff to be focussed entirely on turning around the flight quickly, leaving nobody to escort you to/from your aircraft never mind refuel. Once onboard there’s rarely any delay from ATC/AFIS. For example, we turned up at Tours on Saturday morning just as Ryanair taxied in, and had to wait in the lounge (nice, freshly refurbished by the way) for about 30 minutes until let out to walk across the apron to our aircraft. We would have left our hotel a littler earlier had we known.
Is there an App or website which lets you view inbound/outbound schedules for commercial flights at these airports, so you can plan ahead to slot in around these few busy times?
I had wondered about FlightRadar24 which has an option to view arrivals/departures but haven’t tried it.
Contact the local flying club and organise to exit the apron via their gate (if arriving from within Schengen). Saves a lot of hassle.
Don’t these RyanAir-focussed airports usually publish a “flight schedule”, such as a PDF with all scheduled flights, on their websites?
Id hate to be in the air when a Ryanaire flight is either due in or out. I think there is a 50NM bubble around them. The Only thing more absurd is the US Govts Air Force 1 TFR nonsense. But that only happens once in a while except if you live now in Palm Beach.

Purple Airways! (But they are not called that nowaydays, are they?)
Flight Radar has an arrival and departure board for most airports, at least in the version I use.
Errrr – the Ryanair website ??

Now you have an idea why AOPA is fighting tooth and nail to prevent privatization.

That won’t help too much because it will call the route: Munich – Düsseldorf when in reality they fly from Memmingen to Niederrhein-Weeze
Generally the airports have a schedule of arrivals, then you also get the other airlines.
