Just booking flights for October (yeah I do always book in advance) to come back from Germany for a weekend to finish my work. Went to Aerlingus and saw 0.00 for the flight price.. excellent.. with taxes it came to 83 euro return.. fantastic!! or so I thought

click next.. add on 12 quid for booking a flight, click next: add on 30 quid for my bags.. it came to total of 125 euro!!


Lets try Ryanair (bit out of my way but I will give it ago).. they were only 72 quid for flights (including taxes).. then another 30 quid for bags and 12 quid admin fee.. cheaper at 117

But on German wings (gets me closer to where I am going) it is 117 quid which includes taxes, priorty boarding, seat, bags, admin fee and a snack! This is also a low budget airline so how come it can offer so much more than Irish Airlines

Even Luftansa at 125 quid included everything (they have free snacks anyway)
