if the seats werent "free" youd pay about the same. its not really a great bargain, just seems to be unique accounting. its not really a killer deal for the consumer. with ryanair and easyjet, you get what you pay for. its a flying bus, no more no less. i have flown ryan and easy and have not had problems. i know there are many consumers who have problems with them. when i fly them i dont expect much more than getting from A to B. its a great way to make a budget trip to europe possible. flying in to london and taking EZ or Ryan to other countries rather than taking a train or a RT can save a couple bucks, just make sure you figure in the cost of getting from an out of the way airport to the destination.

only wish they had a free tix from london - vce feb 9th, oh well.
