Cheap flights

We've booked return flights in March at half the cost of competitors.
The main moan is that unless you have Visa Electron card, there is a £5 per passemger per flight surcharge on all other cards. Nonetheless, 2 return tickets £80 in all (no hold luggage etc) Meet & Greet plus 11 days car hire all for just under £250. We are aware that Ryanair must charge the earth for any other services to justify the cost of the flight. Perhaps rather than making a lot from a few they tried making a bit from the many they would regain passenger goodwill. I'll certainly try to resist the need to buy food and drink for a couple of hours at their prices, but would be temted if price was maore reasonable... It's their choice to hike the prices, mine to say "Yes" or "No". If it was value for money, then "Yes" if not, then "No"!!!
When looking at flights and costs, don't forget to check costs for a couple of days earlier or later, you may find some surprising bargains.
If Monarch or easyJet don't fly the routes until Summer schedules, then so be it.
