Ryanair Free Seats Sale (NO tax)

Ryanair are doing another one of their sales where you don't have to pay tax.

Routes on offer are pretty limited and plenty of weekend blackouts.
Nevertheless it might turn out to be useful for someone...

On the other hand, millions of people have used Ryanair and gotten from Point A to Point B quite successfully.

so many going-ons...

I've been hearing a lot about Ryanair nowadays... new service routes from Barcelona; a lot of "new" things going-on.. maybe they're trying to make things right this time... trying to save whatever is there left to save..

You're having a laugh?

Ryanair is, I think, the most profitable airline in the world in terms of profit margin.

The current stock market valuation of Euro 8.3bn is equal to that of British Airways (5.5bn).

This is not a joke airline in any sense.

Actually, the Mafia has a much better profit margin (pre-tax income = XXX$; after-tax income = XXX$).

Just because Shrek III will make millions of dollars, that doesn't make it a good movie.

While there is quite obviously no question whatsoever of Ryanair being in any kind of financial trouble, it has to be noted that the reason for the give-away is a recent fall in passenger loads... and there is now some speculation that the whole thing could backfire:

Time will tell...

I'm surprised that Ryanair has not adopted a fee for failing to fly - but that's probably next as well.

They are already charging some fairly bizarre fees...:

For example, you pay extra for OLCI.... but if you check in online and are then unable to print a boarding pass then you have to pay extra AGAIN to check in at a check-in desk (which would have been free if you hadn't checked in online in the first place).

Maybe all those bizarre and illogical fees are one of the reasons why fewer people now choose to fly with them.

Not a Ryanair fan but snapped up a couple of return tickets from PIK-DUB for the grand total of 0.04. ^

Looks like it's gone. Did you have to do anything special to find them?
