I will be attending some meetings in Dublin in October/November this year, so I went to look at flights from London Stansted to Dublin.

The Ryanair headline prices are impressive: £9.99 each way!

But then when you look at booking them, you find that with charges added for airport charges, an insurance levy and a wheelchair levy (I’m not disabled), that increases to almost £59.

Would I like any baggage? Well unless I want to stay unwashed for almost a week and wear the same clothes too, I’ll need some baggage at an additional cost of £10.

And according to Ryanair’s charges schedule, there could very well be another £4 for the credit card booking fee – how else can I pay for fights booked online?

So we’re approaching £73 now: slightly different to the £10.00 rates they advertise as “including taxes, fees & charges” on this page…

Misleading or what? In fact, isn’t that a complete lie?
