much cheepness thinks the average sun reader blinded by the image that BA et al charges top dollar and so books the cheapy cheap ryanair ticket, average sun readers uver 'alf then wants baggage, a pee, some food etc. and so it gets paid.. begrudgingly

end result? we fly BA, Lufthansa, KLM and they fly cattle freight class

who's complaining if they can't figure it out for themselves?

Good point!!!

Ryanair is an incredibly well thought out ploy by the middle classes to ensure that the beer swilling chav underclass of UK plc travel on a different plane to the rest of us!

Does it really? People really are that daft!

Yes.

I personally wouldn't touch Ryanair with a 60 million mile barge pole.... even if it became the number one carrier in the UK and Europe.

But Ryanair sell more tickets in Europe than BA!?

Does anybody really fall for the Ryanair hype? Most people want to know the full cost of a product, not shady smoke and mirrors shysterness.

BA quote inclusive prices straight away including taxes, it must work for them.

... we would be selling something the general public wants, is in huge demand, is cheap to provide en masse and we could shaft them stupid and they would feel they had had a bargain.

Shame we can't, innit?

good point!

We’d put laxative in their food and then charge them to use the bog.

A bit like the plenty cheapness much quickness brigade who sell people tulipware and then sell them a service contract or SLA.

Client: Great, can you start 8.30 tomorrow morning?

Yes of course. You do realise that I charge £70 for a start pre-12? Don't worry, you're still getting me very cheaply..

Client: Ok, that sounds reasonable. Now you are happy working with Solaris?

Yes, of course, plenty of experience there, and I only charge £80 daily for the Unix annoyance factor....
