The announcement that profits fell might suggest that passengers were using Ryanair less. But numbers grew slightly, not as much as hoped but they still grew. So it looks as though the public will still tolerate this airline despite the complaints that we hear about it.
The kings of extracting money in additional charges have to be the airlines. EU rules have altered some of the ways such as banning add-on prices behind very low fares but more needs to be done. Some add-ons can be avoided and others can’t
I’ve just had one of those e-mails that says the ticket is free. You just pay the taxes and charges. This one has come from Aer Lingus. I need to go to Belfast in the next couple of weeks so I thought I’d see how much it would eventually cost me. In my mind I was thinking of maybe £20-£30 after the APD (Air Passenger Duty) was included.
How wrong I was!
