True enough, but I didn't think I'd be out the door at $67. Given Ryanair's reputation, I guess I expected to pay about $40. If Ryainair's all-in prices had been on kayak (like Easyjet) I would have revisited all other alternatives before engaging in the lengthy booking process (where you are naturally not inclined to abandon and they nickel and dime you from page to page). But you see a 10 Euro fare and you think "I can't beat that" and buy. Ryanair is definitely "tricking" its customers. It's a bad long term business model, and will come back to bite them, IMHO, with dissatisfied customers.
