A one-way ticket from London-Stansted to Frankfurt-Hahn is nominally 36.99 GBP. However, there are additional fees which I must pay:
EU 261 Levy 2.00 GBP 1 x (1st Checked Bag (20kg)) 30.00 GBP 1 x (Web Check in ) 6.00 GBP Administration Fee 6.00 GBP
And, on top of that, they wanted to charge what amounted to a 10% currency conversion fee on top of that. All said and done, I'm paying somewhere around $136 for the one-way ticket.
They're charging me for web checkin, which saves them money, and I have no idea what an administration fee is. And then they're constantly trying to upsell you on travel insurance, car rental, hotel, and on and on it goes. And that 20kg allowance on the bag... if I end up above that, there are per-kilogram fees.
For contrast, a flight on, say, Southwest Airlines, one-way from Houston to Oklahoma City, would be $69 at the "web special" rate without any additional fees or assorted crap.
No wonder folks dislike Ryanair. Amazing stuff.
So... how should I best get from the empeg meet to London-Stanstead for a Sunday 15:25 departure?
