Ryanair set for £8 flights to US

[BrilloPad]

Well, yes there does.

Diver posted a comment, and AtW replied to it, yet his reply didn't make sense.

Eg.

Diver : Jacket potatoes are nice with beans.
AtW : The roundabout has a crisp packet collection on it.

You see ? The response bears no relation to the assertion.

It's like watching Eddie Izzard.

BGG - apologies - my post should have been clarified :-

Does there have to be a context when atw is posting?

He is a lovely chap - we all wish him well with SKA. Perhaps if he spent a bit less time on cuk it would stand a chance.....

Maybe it's like the trains. £8 just gets you on the plane, but no guarantee of a seat. They can have lots of people standing in the aisles and around the doors.

Ah, you must have travelled on Cubana before!

It's the outside toilets on Ryan Air that put me off the most.

I walked in on two air hostesses, having a snog in one of the loos on a ryanair flight. They asked me to join in for a quickie.


No I didn't. I just made all that up.

It may be cheap but by the time you add taxes on top, baggage charges, check-in charges, credit card payment fee charges, food and drink charges, sitting by the window charges, reclining seat charges, headphone to watch the entertainment charges etc etc it will cost a lot more.

My guess is the cheapest seats will be very limited in number and you will have to buy at least 6 months prior to travelling on a flight that either lands or takes off at an inconvenient time of day.

For my money I would prefer to pay a little extra and go with a 'normal' airline.

Airlines carry passengers.

Auto manufacturers make cars.

Hollywood makes movies.

Janitors clean streets.

Intels of this world make processors.

Software compaines write software that help solve real life problems or just entertain.

Cadbury makes chocolate.

HP makes sauces and computers.

What do the hedge funds do?

They do what the rest of your list do- try to make money.

Hope that helps

I'd avoid a Ryan air long haul flight purely on the grounds of leg room. On all the cheap airlines you are packed so tight that you can barely get comfortable if you are reasonably tall. 8 hours sitting in that position unable to move is an easy way of getting DVT and popping your clogs. £8 or not I think I'll book onto a proper airline.

Yes but for £24 you get three seats and can get your head down for a kip

Just a shame those three seats will be in different parts of the plane...

Even with the add-ons (ie a 10 pound flight turns out to be 40) I don't mind flying with Ryanair in Europe as it's still a lot cheaper than the equivalent schedule flights (although you sometimes get bargains here too - BA have some currently I believe). However I wonder if a trip across the pond will be worth a) having to fork out for 40 pounds worth of many sandwiches and beer b) landing in an airport 200 miles from nowhere. The distances are so much greater in the States, and I wonder just where the airport Ryanair chooses will be. I think they'll still get plenty of takers though.
