Flight Costs

[NickNick]

First off, I'm renting a villa from a recruitment agent, so I feel bad enough about this summer's family trip away but this takes the biscuit.

Ryaniar have really outdone themselves for me this time. I've had to use them as they are the only airline flying near where we want to go and the flight price was 1p. So guess how much the total bill for 4 adults, 1 child and 1 infant travelling on my lap was? That's right, 5p! ... err, well no, actually it was £540.65. Broken down into 5p for flights and £540.60 of taxes, surcharges and extras.

I hope you factored in having a wee on the flight...

Wonder if they had his 5 pees?

Sounds pretty cheap to me for the peak summer?

Did you have to provide 2 references and details of where you have rented previously?

I dont blame him for the references - you cant be too careful these days.

Na. Und?

What did you expect? 5p?

btw - the landlord is a recruitment agent, so he's almost certainly screwing you over.

So where are you flying? Somewhere in Spain perhaps, so for 12 seats(return), that works out at £45 each. Seems very cheap for a summer flight.

OK it's Ryanair and I've never touch'em even if it were 1p a flight, but for the credit crunched among us it's a bargain.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at the overall costs, 5 seats for 550 quid is pretty good.

My comment is more aimed at the fact that the extras just keep on coming, and you have no way of knowing how much you are going to have to pay until you pay. Especially as there is a £50 charge to pay for the seats (a tenner a seat)

As for the landlord screwing me over, the missus has been dealing with him and eventually blagged him down considerably from the starting point. He may have gievn up in exasperation in the end as we got it for about a grand for 2 weeks in a 5 bed villa on the coast. Not too bad I thought.

There's a what!

An extra charge for seats.

Even Ryanair haven't managed that yet.
