Attack of the Theocrats!
We're just on the iPad MoR, moving about a few continents and wondering if Ryanair could do even cheaper deals to the Canaries up to 150 million years ago? Using Wiki we found out that these islands were born from beneath the oceans, emerging as volcanos (first taking millions of years to build up from the sea bed) from the oceans up to around 20 million years ago (some older than others) and that Ryanair would have avoided them anyhow due atmospheric ash. No joy there then!
London - New York about 140 million years ago looks good!
