so ryanair has £.74 flights right now, I've already booked to Rome two weeks from now, but I find myself intrigued by all the city names on Ryanair that just dont ring a bell. I really have no idea where they are. So I think I am going to shut my eyes and pick one and book it, and not let myself find out anything about the place before I go, just kind of try to figure it out. Its only aboout 25 quid, what can I lose? What do you think? Ever done something that idiotic? What were the outcomes? B)

That sounds like an excellent plan. Being Europe shouldn't have any problem needing Visa clearance. Have a ball. Then you can teach us about new places.

Wow that is one of the greatest plans I have ever heard. Because youre making GBP anyway thats practically free. Thanks to ryanair im getting 3 days in london and then flying into eindhoven, NL directly for less than flying to amsterdam direct. Thanks for ryanair I get to explore one of europes greatest cities. I think everyone should use ryanair and easyjet as much as possible. Let us know which one you pick. -Kyle

Hell, it sounds like a great variation on the whole "throw a dart into the map" roadtrip plan... (you get to use a bigger map!)

I'd go for it, after all, what a great way to see stuff that is off the beaten track.. and if it has an airport, it can't be too remote, can it?

I can see it now, bellelass ties the scarf around her eyes, positions the advertisement in front of her and stabs her finger down! She excitedly tears off the scarf and her jaw drops.

"Birmingham? But that's only a few hundred miles away..."
