DUB-LGW I paid a total of €100 (£93.36) for 5 (yes five) persons return over the May bank holiday weekend.
Does that include taxes and airport / government charges, all online check in and no hold bags? If it does, it's an excellent fare and opens up two scenarios.
1) Ryanair HAVE to charge a Hell of a lot more to everyone else to use the same flight hence the extortionate new charges etc Yield management is having an off day?
3) The flight is empty and there are *WAY* too many seats on the market.

It's a bank holiday FFS. It's a time to MAKE money as people want to travel. Seems odd IMHO.
