The last time I tried to fly with BA he kept yelling "You crazy fool! I ain't gettin' on no plane!" so I didn't bother.

I worked away from home last year for roughly the whole year, used ryanair twice a week, so roughly 100 flights. Out of the 100 flights, 1 was cancelled and about 3 were 1 hourish late. I never paid more than £10 per flight, in fact most were free/1p. I did book early and when the offers were on, have hand luggage only and a visa electron card.
Yes the seats aren't great, nor is the customer service, but you certainly get more than you paid for.

In that scenario the obvious answer is BA. I returned from Berlin today. Total cost of trip was 2p. It was booked last month. Beat that!! The flight in both directions was on time.

If you do the research and book in advance Ryanair wins hands down all the time. If you leave it until the last minute, of course their fares are going to be more expensive.That is how they make money. It's common sense. That is why they are growing while BA is cutting back and laying off staff. Other so called ' full service' airlines are starting to charge extras for check-in baggage, etc.
