Ally, almost my exact words in a conversation at work earlier.

Yup I was another who defended Ryanair to the hilt but having to pay £30 on top of the fare to add Granddaughter to a booking was about the final straw. I now look at other carriers to see if prices are anywhere near after everything has been taken into account.
Add to that all my details are stored in their system so I just click through when I book went to print tickets wife`s surname was mine not hers...she kept maiden name when we married.
Telephoned told it was £115 to change not a typo..not £15...£115. Then was told by somebody it was free if you produced a recent marriage certificate with names on it.......Good job the Daughter is s**t hot with photoshop LOL.

I mean if the only reason not to be able to drop hand luggage at the aeroplane steps was because it was causing delays why then charge to drop it at check in?

I am trying to book flights for early January or February. Not Easy. At one time I would not hear a bad word against Ryanair but I have recently changed my views on them. I honestly believe they despise their customers.

Ryan Air so your bag is more expensive than your seat. No problem for me as I have my boat in the Marina so only need to carry my Laptop and a few bits an pieces in my backback.

Don’t think so, Easyjet aren’t in or out of Ber minge ham!
Ryanair, not that I want to give them any credit, do have loads of December flights, that route at £9.99, also coming back there are many at €9.99, putting the carrier aside, no one can say that isn’t a bargain! We can pay that much for a twenty minute train journey into B’ham, and the Pendelino to London? That can be ten times as much!

Just testing DICEY's method and taking a liberty with the topic subject!

A squadron of paramotors taken at Gale beach recently. Missed the drone though.

As a matter of interest only, because I don't want to come over in August, I have just looked at flight costs for mid August next year.
Not bad as I could have booked several flights on different days for £44 going out and £56 coming back.
Unlikely that those sort of prices will hang around for long though
I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

Just booked Southend to Faro & return
Out on 27th April, back on 12th June
2 people, no extras
£107.20 total.
Happy as that is only £6 more than we paid for almost identical dates this year.

In my experience, and I'm always up early, flights normally come on around 6am to 7am ish.
As I'm only interested in 2 routes (Southend and Luton to Faro) I don't know about others but those 2 usually come on at the same time.
Not sure about what happens with prices but the "bracket" suggestion seems logical.
