Budget airline Ryanair is to offer flights to the US for eight pounds, by buying planes from struggling rivals.
The plan will be revealed when chief executive Michael O'Leary announces the firm's quarterly results on Monday.
"Economy class will be very cheap, around 10 euros, but our business class will be very expensive," he said in a newspaper interview.


The flights - which could begin by the end of next year - would be available for those booking early. Passengers would pay airport taxes on top of the fares. The transatlantic flights are likely to go from Stansted and Dublin airports to New York, Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston.

ryanair need some airlines to collapse so they can buy cheap jets; it's where they're intending on getting the transatlantic planes.
 
Amazing news for all bands out there. Touring USA will be within every bands budget now.

yeah except in america the buzz is you have to provide a full backline for the tour and i hear that rule is pretty strict. so that'd mean renting a full backline for a tour which could end up costing just as much as the regularly priced flights to the usa.
 
It's not like ALL transatlantic flights are going to be £8.

It'll be one of those "From £8" deals but you'll never actually be able to get it for that unless you leave on a Wednesday at 3am & book your return flight for the previous Tuesday.

Well, exactly.
Flying 300 people for a tenner when just one of your blowjob beds will gross you the same total revenue is not how it will be.
 
so basically this is the blowjobs story again, it won't happen for a few years and it was a distraction against the 40+% drop in Ryanair profits story

The drop in profits is hardly news worth obscuring, it was pretty well known that they'd been hit after not hedging on their oil prices. Free advertising, on the other hand, is something Michael O'Leary wouldn't be at all averse to.
