Salary Expectations

I am looking to apply to a job advertised on flight international website. On the website it is asking for a CV and covering letter plus my expected salary.

The question I put to all you fellow ppruners is, should you ask for more hoping they will pay it or maybe less hoping it will help you get the job but then they will probably pay you what you asked for and you would be kicking yourself thinking you should have asked for more or an approximate average from other jobs we have all seen advertised? (Right now any money would be a bonus!)

Also I find it hard to answer this question not knowing what the conditions of employment are. Are they like Ryanair where you pay for everything but they pay you a higher salary to cover these expenses? (Please no ryanair bashing here....different thread) Or do they put you up in hotels when you travel and pay for your travel expenses. Surely these would have a large effect on the end salary you would be hoping for.

Hmmmm.......... any thoughts please,

thanks
