"Free"? :skeptic:  I think not. I think I'd rather just pay the fare than have to pay for everthing else, guessing at what they'll charge for and what they won't. I wouldn't be suprised if they have a credit card lock on the bathroom doors...  ;)

Just marketing spin. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Isn't this the same airline that landed at the wrong airport a month ago?

I suppose you get what you pay for (or not)... ;D

Ryan Air is only possible to the huge subsidies that the gov't pours into it...

taken form the pockets of both those who DO lfy and those who DON'T.

The advantages of living in the Heart of Dixie- low cost of living, peace and quiet and a conservative majority. For some reason I think that the first two items have a lot to do with the presence of the last one.
