Unbelievable comments. Fist of all I am not a Michael O'Leary fan in particular. But when we fly from Schipol to Alicante we are very often paying 15 euros for a flight. Our neighbours are paying the same from London Stansted to Alicante. I have to put more than 15 euros of gasoline into my car j...

...ust to get from my apartment in Rotterdam to Schipol Airport Approx 45 kilometres. Please tell me of something in this world that is better value than flying from England or Netherlands to Southern Spain for 15 euros.!!!!

Maybe it’s me being too particular, not wanting to set out at the crack of dawn and so on. But, I have never had a bargain flight with Ryan air from Manchester or Liverpool to Alicante, it all depends which airport you fly from in the UK. I have used Easy jet lately, the flight times are better, the prices have been a bit less than Ryan air and they guarantee free flight changes, the cabins are cleaner, the seats are more comfortable, just a little!. But low cost airlines are basically all the same, just choose the one that is best for you.

Easy Jet do not charge, we changed ours several times in the last 18 months..

One of the reasons we don't fly Ryanconair anymore...

Now that you can only take small cabin bags on the cheapest tickets, I bought myself one of these. It has massive inside pockets that will even take shoes! It is clothing rather than luggage so doesn't count as a bag. Mens Utility Waistcoat Gilet Zip-Off Back Multi Pockets Vest Tops Fishing | eBay

Quite a lack of competition really.

Need more companies on board to

create the competition, but not going to happen anytime soon.

I am afraid 😨   to say  but  Air  travel  out of Ireland 🇮🇪  to  Sunny 🌞  Spain  is  what  it is  and  we will  have  to Live  with  our  lot,  Aer Lingus  have cut  back  on Low  season  flights ✈  to  Alicante,  and we are at the mercy  of  Michael  O,Leary , it  is  having   affect on my  decision  to purchase  a permanent House  in South  Costa Blanca 🇨🇷
