Lets go tour USA! (1 Viewer)

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 Fransisco."

Amazing news.

How much will the taxes be though?

How much will the taxes be though?

Id imagine 40-50e like on most flights. Its 550e for a return flight to NYC like. 10e + t&c's is amazing.

 

[Gambra]

So it'd be about 100 tops for flights? But do you really want to be in Ryanair planes for 8+ hrs? It'd be torture!!

 

[broken arm]

how many of the book early flights will be 10 bob?

 

[Michael O'Leary]

The early bird catches the worm my friend.

Would you really sit on a ryanair plane for a minimum of 6 hours? Over prised food, no tv and the planes they'll buy would be 2nd or 3rd hand pieces of shit

Just to get to fucking america? No. Maybe if they were going somewhere good.

If its hella cheap then yeah. Just put yer seatbelt on, take a valium & wake up stateside. Brilliant!

 

[AnarchoBob]

Still, that would be pretty good.
I'd wait a while though, just to see if any plane crashes or if Ryanair goes bust.
It may be cheap, but loosing your money (or yer life) is never too good.

Ryanair currently has the most modern fleet in europe.
But hey!
Lets not let the facts stand in the way of a good O'Leary bashing.

I took a sleeping pill one time coming back from the US. It was a bad idea. I was having waking nightmares.

 

[ravishinrikrude]

i'd definitely do it. most airline crashes are down to human error and most mechanical failures tent to be in newer aircraft so the 2nd or 3rd hand thing isn't an issue. anyway fuckit - live till ya die!!!!!!!

 

[AnarchoBob]

Wait, a creeping and hellish thought and doubt is now haunting me. If flights are that cheap, will they be so too for people coming from the US?
And if so, and this is where the fear kicks in, will this mean we will be overrun by pretend-Irish yanks on a frenzy to re-discover their 'roots'?

Taking sleeping pills and then trying your very hardest to stay awake is amazingly great fun.

Oh no, this is going to work both ways. There'll be a huge influx of American traveller kids and punks. This could be the future.

Is that a WSM meeting then?


On a semi-serious note, that video is probably reason #1 why D4 heads should never ever come into contact with 'punk'.
