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
You travel with hand luggage only, but most people don’t.
The vast majority of people will pay extra for an extra cabin bag, or even a case for the hold.
Same with seat allocation. We can pay to sit next to each other. It’s only £12! Actually, it’s £12 each, and it’s both ways, so it’s £48 in total.
If you add it all up, the flights probably cost near the same as a non-budget airline.
Plus they have a bazillion flights a day, that are usually close to full, because of the perceived low prices, and simply because other airlines don’t fly those routes.
