That's funny. They're offering trips to America for 8 quid.

Worth a look to those used to long flights with sparse IFE etc.

For that price I wouldn't care about food and in flight amenities (other than the bogs of course). Becoming used to trooper flights has its advantages!

So there stuffing live people in the cargo bays now too? I wonder if it even is certified as a PAX plane or CARGO . I guess sitting in those para-jump planes has it advantages. One can easily fit 15 people in one C208

You've still got all the fees though.

Pax are not called "self loading cargo" for nothing

PS, I would not fly with Ryanair if they where the last airline to survive the credit crunch. Bad service, bad attitude, customer service that makes Germans look like the most polite and friendly nation on the earth and a boss that produces enough hot air, I am sure they can modify and aircraft or two to be powered by it.

I can honestly say i have never flown anything bigger then a C208C/B, i guess i can be happy about that!

Ryanair expects to make money on the flights by sticking to its wildly successful European business model of charging passengers for almost everything but the air they breathe

No, they are paying for that too. The air that they breath is a product of the fuel that has been burnt.

I hope your not too serious matt, or do you mean that it drives the AC unit?

The air that you breath (on the 737-800 at least) is 9th stage bleed air from the compressor. After a bit of drying, cooling, heating it is then pumped into the cabin. As a whole ticket package, you have paid from the seat you sit in, to the air your breath
