They keep these fees because they know they can get away with it and you’ll still pay them but they can advertise a cheaper initial fare. It’s like saying that 98% of their flights take off and land on time but when you dig into it they classify a forty minute flight as an hour and a half which gives them the leeway to be delayed.
I don’t think they have. For as long as I can remember the base price for CuntyAir and co has been relatively cheap but the optional extras went from a similar price to almost double the cost of the base flight. This is over a good 20 or 25 years. So that tells me that they know people will still be suckered in by the cheap base flight and get stung with the extras so they maximise the revenue in that area. Charging to print a boarding pass is astronomical. They’re just milking old people that can’t use a mobile phone (and there are plenty). I don’t think people have understood the model and I think Ryanshits knows this.
When I try and book an international flight, out of Europe, BA.com will still try and nudge me towards flights that start to tack on fees to make them seem cheap.

Ryanair might be cunts but they’re not stupid.

But it’s not like that.
