Ryanair Madness
 
As the price of oil escalates and world airlines raise prices, slash & burn, etc, etc. it's fun to see Ryanair playing "last man standing"...
I stupidly thought this pricing behaviour might... perhaps... just maybe... be coming to an end with the current oil crisis... but no, Ryanair are still happy to fly me to London for 2 pennies (2 million seats on offer!) It's actually becoming difficult to take on the environmental guilt of taking trips like this, but what can you do? O'Leary is sure playing a strange game here.

If you are going for a day trip it looks great. I wish we saw more of this down here in Aus:mad:.

But a good way to explore the country so cheaply!!

What exactly is the business case for such a low fare? I can understand charging the marginal cost of a seat that would otherwise fly empty, but 0.01? :confused:
