the price I was given was £35 return
and guess what ! the price I ended up paying was £35 .
You should say "thank you" to local taxpayers !

Everyone bleats on and on about hidden charges with the LCC but the reality is that fuel surcharges are mainly the domain of the longhaul carrier, BA, Qantas, Emirates etc.
True, but not only...
Have a close look at passengers & airport taxes claimed when you make a booking. Then find the real rates charged at these airports...
Most of the time, it is cheaper than what the company charges you, under the same name.
Crasy isn't it ?
