    Michael O'Leary has already done this. £50.00 anywhere... + £5.00 on line booking in fee each way + £13.00 for a bag + £2.50 for a drink + £3.50 for a sandwich + £3.00 debit card fee...

    Oh wait hang on, that's not £50.00 now is it!?

    :rotfl:Exactly!
    I dont think they should be allowed to advertise flights at those prices unless thats all youre going to pay,all in!
    Some of the quotes ive had off such "cheap" airlines have ended up more expensive than airmiles cash prices.
    and one of them (cant remember which so wont name names) didnt have the option of selecting baggage, you HAD to pay £18 for a full size case for everyone - not sure my 2 year old quite has the strength to haul 15kg yet!

    Not much of an exaggeration there? :cool:

    Perhaps it would be more constructive to do a search on how to minimise costs with the low cost airlines? If you bothered to do some research rather than just moaning you would end up with a much cheaper holiday!
    Gone ... or have I?

    I flew return to Venice last year for 2 pence. No extra fees, nothing, with Ryanair.

    Strange you managed to do that as Ryanair don't fly to Venice.

    They must have flown that route especially for me then.

    :D

    Look lets just get the next few posts sorted:

    Me: Look they do fly to Venice http://www.ryanair.com/en/cheap-flight-destinations
    You: No, thats Treviso, not Venice at all
    Me: So what it is still listed as Venice and ultimately that is where i ended up.
    You: So your Ryanair flight to Venice isn't actually Venice is it.
    Me: Yeah, and it cost me 2 pence return. You'll be saying Gatwick isn't in London next ;)

    Jog on.

    firstly, not sure what you mean by not much of an exaggeration - or do you work for ryanair? i bet you can find those exact price hikes if you look ;p
    secondly, i didnt really ask for your arrogant reply regarding my moaning,i was actually replying to deleerious' excellently pointed out reply. Maybe it would be constructive for you to not be so rude?

    this company is ryanair - you will probably find you're staying in accomodation just round the corner from the advertised hotel ;):D
