You get what you pay for.
This often quoted line is the biggest misunderstanding of all if we are talking about your rights as a party of the contract with Ryanair. The truth is not "You get what you pay for", but rather "You get what you have entered into a contract for". How much you have paid for it is totally irrelevant. If Ryanair pleases to enter into a contract for 1p, that is wholly up to them. The legal obligations arising from the contract are always the same, regardless whether they sell the product for 0,01 GBP or for 200 GBP. I must admit, however, that Ryanair is pretty good at brainwashing all those without a law degree into believing that by buying a cheap ticket you surrender your legal rights. Which is a pretty impressive achievement and saves them a lot of money.
