'Ruinairski' the sequel published March 2009

I am pleased to advise that the sequel to Ruinair, called Ruinairski, is published in Ireland this week.

The book includes a chapter on the Ruinair Fan Forum for which i am grateful to Grad and Admin.

"Having survived his best-selling travelogue ‘Ruinair‘, Paul Kilduff flies eastwards on a low-fares journey to discover the twelve countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Fortunately still allowed to fly on Europe’s lowest airline, he unfolds the former Iron Curtain to reveal our fellow New Europeans. He meets the Latvian politician who refers to Ruinair passengers as ‘savages’; he searches for a second vowel in Brno; he learns there is more to Gdansk than a shipyard wall; he finds beauty in Bratislava and he endures Romania’s native low-fares airline. And what does Ruinair’s Chief Executive Michael O’Leary think of Kilduff’s first book? ‘I heard it should be in the fiction list but keep up the good work. Fly Ruinair. Best wishes, Mick.’"

The book is available for purchase outside Ireland on the Amazon UK website;

IT............ HAS.............. ARRIVED!

Oh well, I'm going to be quiet now for the next few days, now I have Ruinairski to read. Got to wait 168 pages though to read about a Ryanair Fanclub! Anyone know whats that all about ??? Ha ha ha

A Ryanair fanclub? can I join?

I've only had the book since 3pm and despite being busy with other things around the house, I'm only upto page 42 and already have had my favourite word twice. Paul should surely copyright Bolloxology! BRILLIANT so far.

Its official! the Irish Times say Ruinairski is written in praise of MO'L!

I'll pass through DUB tuesday (if they are not on strike, you never know for sure these days) and I hope I can find the book at a Hughe's there ?

yes the book is on sale in the airport Hughes shops and it is displayed prominently. I signed some copies there this week and i am passing through DUB on Wed and will sign more. there is a risk of a strike on next Thursday but at present you will be ok on Tuesday.

Off to England next sunday for a training, hope to score the book as well!

Ordered! Can't wait to read it

Yeah, I'll be in Dublin too on Tuesday for Dublin-Poznan at 06.15. I ought to be up a bit earlier that morning to check out the book store!

As written in the Irish Times article: "..., it’s a diverting read and will certainly get you through a stiff flight."
A 2 hour 30 minute flight to Poland would just about fit in.

bad luck that no Wro
Just for curious, what are you going to do there?
