Their plan is to establish a base in Israel, according to their original claims. So would hopefully be a number of decent flight times.

Cheap compared to current options. But when considering they post fares such as 9.99, 140 is a lot when you then plan on charging for every single extra.
It's not expensive per se - just higher than I had expected for the ULCC par excellence to have claimed as an introductory offer.

I think 140 is probably an average price. The route I have flown them on most - CGN-STN has varied dramatically based on time of year and day of the week from 25-100ish Euros and that's only a 1 hour flight. I will say I'm excited about the prospect of flights to STN since as much as I like Easyjet, I hate Luton.
Anyone care to speculate which routes will be first? I'm hoping for STN, CGN and BGY to start.

First route - LCA: http://travel.walla.co.il/item/2847430
Although PFO seems more likely, given they do not fly to LCA.

140 GBP is an excellent price to UK, when you remember that 71 GBP is pure APD duty which Ryanair will past to UK authorities. All other Ryanair routes (I think) are in 13 GBP band.
The equivalent to another destination with similar distance (eg Paris) would be 70 GBP, which is much cheaper than Easyjet.
