Watching this with interest. You can bet it'll be $15 plus about $400 in airport taxes :sneaky:

Perhaps being packed in a crate would be preferable than a seat for 8 hours on Ryan air.:thumbup:

They will do what they normally do. There will be a few really cheap fares if you book early enough as a come on and some fares which will be more expensive then a regular airlines for those that book nearer the departure date.

Amazing the number of people who fall for their cheap airline reputation and don't check the fares elsewhere. I knew someone who regularly flew Ryanair and booked usually a couple of days before he left and virtually always paid a good bit more than the equivalent Lufthansa flight.

I don't think Ryanair is going to offer the service, but are, rather, predicting it will occur:

I know we'll be paying lots of attention to this development. We could possibly afford more than 1 trip/year at that rate. Or maybe pop over for a weekend.

Not bad, but all the flights I've been looking at have taxes and fees of over $700 no matter what the price of the ticket, so I'd guess $715

good luck to them, but I don't see them flying into Boston with the taxes at Logon...perhaps into Portland Jetport or Bangor International up in Maine and puddle hop down to the Rhode Island airport for cheap...
