In the UK we have had a massive growth of low cost airlines offering fantastic prices to Europe (provided you book early). Unfortunately that has also given rise to the pub bragging rights of "I got a flight today to (wherever) and it only cost me 1 pence each way" So of course everyone is then looking for these silly prices. Yes they are there but when booking fees, taxes, credit card fees, etc, etc is added on that usually adds at least £40. One airline is now even charging for luggage going in the hold. Hand baggage only for free. Also of course the 1p tickets are very limited and usually only apply to the outbound flight. So yes the prices are great but never as good as some people tell it.
