Thank Brian, I wonder how this sort of "service" can be sustainable for a LCC at those prices.
($100 voucher +$30 dinner + $10 breakfast + $100 room) = -$50 just on the "recovery" component. When you factor in fuel, aircraft & landing charges it was probably a -$200+ sector per seat.

Whilst it was nice of them to look after you, I thought the LCC philosophy was one of a bare bones, pay your money, take your chances service. This looks more like the full service model to me.
