Who makes this stuff up?

It's Southend Airport....for gawds sake!

Fly with Ryanair to "Hamburg", you'll end up about 70 km away in the
town of Lübeck. Lübeck has a nice historic town center, though, and a
famous christmas market.
If you go to Ryanair's "Frankfurt", you'll find yourself 100 km away
from Frankfurt, literally in the middle of nowhere.

I flew from Hahn ("Frankfurt") with Ryanair about ten years ago
because where they were flying to was, actually, convenient. They
have a brass neck both with their cavalier attitude towards geography
and their hidden charges. I avoid using so-called "cheap" airlines
because, one way or another, you end up paying more, particularly if
time is money...
