I assume these prices are from "London" Stansted? Granted, they may be dirt-cheap, but as other posters have mentioned, flying Ryanair is a deeply unpleasant experience. I wouldn't pay 20GBP for a Ryanair flight - for 1p, I'll take it, but otherwise I would rather not go at all than go with Ryanair.
