A decade ago when low cost flying really took off, flights were a lot cheaper than they are now. Even the last-minute bargain fares on Ryanair are at least £10 now
Not neccessarily so, in this part of the world here's a recent booking of ours, round trip SUG/CEB/SUG for two of us, 4 flights and at today's exchange rate equates to £7.46 per flight including the add-ons.
