Default Ryanair boss plans £7 tickets to America

Wow, £7 for a ticket. Last time I was in London, my tea and muffin cost that much.

They'r propably gonna use the same strategy they used when they first started to fly to Malta. The advertized price was around LM 16 but you could easily go up to LM 50 with tax.

B.S FLAG! 15 yards. Automatic first down!

A fleet of 50 new transatlantic airplanes would cost at least (bare minimum) $5 BILLION dollars. Even at the cheapest of carriers, CASM's are near 10 cents. That is the cost to fly one seat one mile. Talk about a 3,000 journey, and it costs $300 ONE WAY PER SEAT. That is assuming they fill EVERY SEAT on the flight. What will they charge for bags ($20, $40, $100...). How about taxes (about $250 according to the article).
$12, ya right!!
