"Ryanair junkie" ..love it
, and oh so true.
MOL has been very clever, he started services on point to point routes that no operator had ever served before - often the UK to a farmers field in La France profonde ( well not quite but....). The local Chambers of Commerce would help out with the fees, and thousands of Brits clamoured to buy second homes in these areas, attracted by cheap property prices and the promise of virtually no cost flights. Now they are committed to their "dream", and his airline, like all others, is feeling the economic pinch, he's going to squeeze the "junkies" for every last eurocent. Indeed they may even end up paying the going rate.
As you say he provides an acceptable service if you don't care when you travel, only have handbaggage (less than 10kg), and are internet savvy. Otherwise if you insist/have to use Ryanair you're now going to pay....I really don't blame MOL for all this, I blame the junkies for not realising what a good deal they were on and not understanding that Ryanair is a business, not a charity.
