Ryanair charge the published taxes of the airports they fly to/from, its not the price they pay the actual airport, but if you were to charter a plane tomorrow and fly into any of their airports, it's what you would get charged. It's also worth noting that unlike almost all full-service airlines, they have no fuel surcharge. And anyway, why shouldn't you pay for everything you want to use? I don't like having to pay a little bit extra to subsidise you checking in at the airport, having hold luggage, eating on the plane or anything else.
Agreed, a bit. The £5 per person per leg fee is a great way of avoiding you going and booking a flight for the whole GUASC and them only making £5 (Like what easyjet do) But as I said earlier, phone your bank and ask for a Visa Electon card and you're sorted.
So, yellow gives you a sore head, and orange doesn't? If your airline was the most on-time in europe wouldn't you make a song and dance about it? And for the record, both Easyjet and Ryanair use the same business model. I've nothing against Easyjet, it's just i'd rather fly Ryanair.
