Flying Ryanair

Return flight to Shannon (before fees and taxes): ?7.50

Airport fees and taxes: ?8.71
Payment fee: ?9.50
Check-in fee: ?9.50
15kg luggage check-in: ?19.00
Get-on-the-plane-first fee: ?3.80

Return flight to Shannon (after fees and taxes): ?58.01

Not really knocking them, cos you cant get from Norwich-York for that price, let alone fly to Ireland with anyone else, but they do prey on the stupid, dont they?

Got to admire the way they work really. Of course, you could trim that down by not busting a gut to get on the plane first, taking only 10kg, and checking in online - it then comes in at an recession-busting ?25.71

apropos nothing, really.
