No. When FR sold the Penny flights they were literally 1p. No fees, no taxes. Just 1p.
I remember going PIK-STN for 2p return, all in and it included a bag back then too, and airport check in as standard. The whole family went up and down for the grand sum of 6p! I used to regularly do EDI-BRE and it was once £11.01 total and the 1p was the whole return trip fare!
My uncle used to book so far in advance that he would be able to sort out his whole years domestic travel for about £5!
It's not sustainable anymore, sadly.
Sorry for thread drift.
