I am confused by a number of points:

1.  How can people be quoting such low fares.  Ryanair charge you to pay, they charge you for bags each way (15kg only !), they charge you to check in both ways even if you do it online and then there is all the taxes.... and if your madthere is also "priority" boarding.  So how can people quote such low prices?

2.  Statistically speaking if you look at revenue per customer, Ryanir is not cheap compared to other airlines.

3.  I fly with them when there is no other option.  ie. No Spain or fly Ryanair = I choose Ryanair.  People should not confuse this with me "loving" the airline.  When I have a choice I fly Jet2 or BA (although I do miss the seat scramble and all round yellowness). 

Am I alone?

A couple of points to clarify with respect to some of the earlier posts:

1.  If a Spanish bank collapses and you have a mortgage with them it is not a problem.  A mortgage is not "repayable on demand" therefore you will have no reason to panic.  Contrastingly, if you have savings with a bank that collapses you may well need to worry.

2.  Argentina defaulted and then its currency dropped in value.  I do not understand those that do not think it can happen or those that do not seem to grasp what the implications are if it does happen.
