Ryan Air is the biggest in Europe now, mainly because of their very low prices. The problem with the low prices is, that you often pay much more than is advertised with. Lots of non-optional extras added to the advertised prices makes the fares way more expensive that first expected.

Let me give you an example. Everybody has to pay a "wheelchair"-fee of 45 DKK (6 EUR), no matter if you are disabled or not, or in a wheelchair or not.

If you want to travel from Jutland to London in February, the advertised price is 2 DKK (0.27 EUR). But if you want to bring luggage, you'll have to pay 240 DKK (32 EUR). So with taxes and the extra additions, the price is 701 DKK (94 EUR) - 35,000 percent more than the advertised price.

Big companies will do anything they can to steal costumers from each other, and the best thing for them is that the prices aren't clear, so it's harder for the costumers to compare.

As a consumer I want clear prices, that's much better for the competition, and therefore for the consumers! So stop telling us we can buy an air fare for less than a Euro when we can't!
