Not bad But that’s not the cheapest possible airfare. Have you ever managed to get an airline ticket for minus $27 (plus airport taxes)? I did!

what do you mean “0”? Can I just take the flight anywhere they fly?
Thats interesting?

Well, the easiest way to find out is to visit ryanair.com.

0 fare does not mean free ticket, because they still add taxes, from about 10 Euro and up each way, plus the usual Credit Card fee.
This promo seems to include many of their routes, but definitely not all of them.

In addition, there is another promo: very limited number of routes is on sale for 1 penny each way that includes taxes.

And how do you get it for -ve 27 USD?

I just managed to find a special discount. I needed to travel from Kosice to Prague and back and didn’t really care about the mode of transport, just the price. And I found out that return ticket is offered for only SKK 749 (USD 36). That seemed weird to me, since I know that just the airport fees would come up to approx. 1200 SKK (USD 57). To by amusement, on my reservation, the price of the ticket itself was 449 SKK, the taxes were 1198 SKK and so the total price I paid was -449+1198=749 SKK [] I still don’t understand the economics behind that sellout. So they donate money so that they can get you to fly with them? [:]

Sounds to me like they had a contract with that airport for X number of paid passengers in order to get incentives such as reduced airport fees. BE was caught with it’s pants down on this recently: B’ham Post article — BE hired actors to fill seats so they could meet a passenger quota.

Sounds very familiar, like GM having to sell their cars below cost just to move the inventory. Now look where it got them!

I just bought one of these routes… it started at $0, but it still ended up being like 60 bucks for two people after all the bullshit fees.
