I saw a breakdown some time back of a LCC flight from Luton to Nice with an estimate of all costs and all revenues. The result seem'd to be that they made around GBP 550 profit per flight. Not much of a profit you may think but multiply this by a whole lot of flights and it all adds up to a very nice little earner. From memory the model used was EZ but the same probably applies to Ryanair. Whatever anybody may think of LCC's they certainly enable Joe public to fly for a lot less than it used to cost.
