I fly around Europe for €30-€100 per return flight without a checked bag. Yet Ryanair are one of the most profitable airlines in the world yet charging such cheap prices. Are other airlines just not as efficient as low cost airlines?
In: Economics
I know a lot of people are saying that they make money selling everything as add-ons to the flight, but that’s not how they make their money. They don’t really make money from their flights at all. They make more money as an affiliate site, booking hotels and rental cars. I believe Ryanair tries to be break-even with their flight revenue but everything else booked through their site, they make a percentage.
For the hotel bookings, they don’t really have to recover any expenses, it’s all their profit.
