Ryanair are advertising a whole load of free flights from the UK, exclusive of air taxes, on their website.They’re good for travel up to 30 June 07 but the sale ends at midnight tonight.
That’s the good news but Ryanair are also in the news for the amount of money they make charging people for anything over 10kg of luggage on their flights. They’re making record profits, up to £660,000 per day and they justify the baggage charges by saying passengers have been pre-warned and have a choice to make. Their deputy CEO Michael Cawley says ‘this is an optional charge as part of our campaign to persuade people that they do not need to take the kitchen sink with them’.
Its probably a good time to take advantage of the cheap or free fares. While the government is in the process of giving the go ahead for new runways at Stansted and Heathrow and massively increasing capacity, the recent IPCC climate change report will mean they won’t hesitate to slap punitive taxes on passengers to make it seem they’re against people flying. Check out Ryanair if your looking for a cheap European flight in the next few months.
