Yup - I'm booking myself on RyanAir right now for a trip to London  
next month. The reason: price.

Return ALC/LGW for eur60. Incredibly cheap.

Actually, now I know the RyanAir rules and know what to expect, I'll  
get by. I was caught out last time by the fact that their checked  
baggage allowance (which you have to pay extra for anyway) is only  
15kg, 5kg less than any other comparable airline I've ever flown.

On the other hand, easyJet is only eur40 more... maybe it's worth it.

Cheers, Paul.
