Check out this news page from April 2007 http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/200...satlantic.html ..... in fact the link to Listeria at the Maple Leaf food plant makes for interesting reading too, given this year's developments!

Re: New York for a tenner!
Shall we all hold our breath and wait for this to happen?
I would love to be wrong, but I believe it would be easier to find a flying carpet to take you to NYC than find a flight for a tenner.
Even Continental are now charging passengers for all of their checked luggage - $15 for the 1st bag and £$25 for the 2nd. And only 1 piece of hand luggage. I can find very little difference now between airlines (BA, Air Canada, Continental etc).

An excellent price. But where would you put it?

Now, how do I persuade Ryanair to start an Ottawa-Gatwick route?

Given Ryanair's prediliction for flying you to a place that isn't actually very near the place that they are supposed to be flying you to (e.g. an airport 100km from the city you want to go to) I believe their new service to New York (Newfoundland, St John's) will be a big hit here on the Rock!
