    Just realised that a flight I had booked a while ago has the dreaded 666 flight number. Due to fly out from Dublin to Birmingham on Saturday week. Its a Ryanair flight!!

    Any advice from boardsies on this? Should i bring holy water or something?! ;)

    Bring holy water? Man, you have to think this through, that's just gonna p1ss off the S man even more. Rather, give your heart and soul over to our Lord Satan, rape a virgin and dous yourself in the tears of children on the morning of the flight, thus ensuring the Prince of Darkness' blessing on your voyage. Your welcome.

    Not on Ryanair, the extra baggage charge will crucify you.

    I've flown that flight number many times to Birmingham. Other than the miserable amount of leg room, bitchy flight attendants, horrible pre-flight music/ads, the overflowing fat of the person next to you spilling onto your armrest, you should be fine.

    Nothing and no one can save your from Ryanair.

    666 shouldnt make a difference either way though.

    The real answer? Ridiculous amounts of crime (ended up being broken into at least once a month) and rising racial tensions.

    What part of Brum you coming to? :P

    i think you should be more worried that its with ryanair than 666.

    by this stage i think there one step away from drugging the passengers and getting them married in vegas, divorced and stealing half their stuff.

    666 on a Ryanair flight just means Michael O Leary will be on board, that's all.
    In the front part of the cabin, you know the curtained off area with the sulphur and screams coming from it?

    On a related note, I got return flights to France for 2 cent with Ryanair last night, and only €10 extra in handling fees. That's a pretty good deal.

    I used an electron got 3 seats round trip for 12 cents which means I am traveling first class on ryanair with a whole row of seats to myself, but I am not going to hell and back

    you'll be grand, the pilots also don't like flights with 666 so they fly these flights upside down so that the flight number automatically becomes 999 which means the fire and ambulance service will be on standby for the inevitable crash.

    If the plane flies upside down, wouldn't it be flight 999, therefore no problem?

    (until it had to flip back over for the landing, when it would be 666 again.:eek:)

    Like Final Destination, if you survive the flight, you'll probably be swallowed by an escalator at the Bull Ring Shopping Centre.:(

    Basically, with all the available information, the odds are stacked against you, and you're screwed whatever you do.
