A song about the challenge of buying a flight for 50p. [nsfw due to the liberal use of the work 'feck']
European budget airlines frequently advertise extremely low fares, however when all the associated charges are included (booking, taxes and bags, to name a few) the cost is much higher than expected. This song humorously summarizes some of the challenges involved.

They don't mention the joy of trying to sleep on the cold floor of Luton Airport because there's no other way to make your 6AM check-in.
Or the anxiety of getting stuck with a bad seat that compels everybody to start queuing up at the gate an hour before boarding

Well I still liked it. I didn't see the other post, and probably never would have, so cheers.

Feck != Fuck and should not be considered NSFW, it is a very mild expletive that shouldn't bother anybody, bless them

Hilarious, but living in Canada, I can't be sympathetic. You Europeans with your 75 minute flights to Berlin have no idea, NONE, how expensive air travel can be.

I have a theory about Ryanair - that they're actually being bankrolled by the other airlines, as a scientific way to find out exactly how much shit people will put up with.
