Yes, I agreed to a price higher than €9.99. The only fee that's arguably COMPLETELY hidden is the currency conversion fee, which will escape most customers' attention unless they have a calculator handy.

The Ryanair strategy is definitely to advertise a low come-on fare and then keep adding fees and you go through the ticketing process.

My point is not to be lured into flying Ryanair when you see a really cheap fare. I think it's hard to believe that a 10 Euro ticket can come to almost $70 with no optional add-ons. That's pretty crazy (and deceptive), no?
