DTTP - I actually want to travel from Dublin to Southern France in May, so I had a look at the FR website to check out this great deal!
Who could resist!?
What I sadly discovered is that the .01cent fare is not available ex Dublin!
Shucks.
What WAS available was a return fare of
168 euro.
Take heart though - Aer Lingus was more expensive at 175 euro - a whopping
7 euro extra.
However, imagine my surprise when I proceeded to make a booking - the
Ryanair price shot up by
30 euro when I checked in a bag and took their (mandatory) insurance!
The Aer Lingus price for check in bag was 10 euro.
Oh dear - the total prices are suddenly a bit different!
Ryanair - 198 euro
Aer Lingus - 185 euro.
Ryanair is thus a whopping 13 euro more expensive than Aer Lingus, and for a second rate "**** off if you don't like it" service too!!
I'm flying Aer Lingus.
Don't be mugged folks....
Ryanair is the ripoff carrier.
Check the rates.
