I didn't realise Ryanair had been going that long!!
I don't know if it is still the case but one of the last flights out of Heathrow at night used to be Nigerian Airways to Lagos, with a stop in Rome en route. However, on more than one occasion it didn't stop in Rome as the airline owed so much in landing fees etc that the 'plane would have been impounded.
Imagine waking up in Lagos when you thought you were going to Rome...!
