I am going to give Aer Lingus credit though!
Booked yesterday flight from Cork to Faro outbound 2/09/10, inbound 16/09/10 with Aer Lingus and with everything included for the 3 of us 2 bags (upto 20kg each) and assigned seating it came to €548.58 and where in high season now! thats just 2 months away i compared this to Ryanair the cheapest i got there including 2 cases and pre-boarding (EI eqivalant) it came to €754.59 !
i think EI have 1 that battle....
