FR: Intra-Europe flights for 1Euro-cent/1pence all included
Haven't read that here, but Ryanair is currently running a promotion selling 250000 seats within Europe for 1 Euro-Cent or Pence including all taxes and fees. The tickets are available on a load of routes and only for flights Monday noon through Thursday noon and Saturdays after noon.
Keep in mind this is Ryanair so everything except basic transportation costs money (even checking bags) and they have a strange understanding of geography calling places 50 miles or more away by the name of a big city (e.g. calling Weeze, about 80km out of Dusseldorf, as this city). Look for "Reg fare" with a price of 0.01 to take advantage of this offer.
Use this link to get an easier overview of what's available when...

ryanair could have a sale where they paid me $100 for the flight and I wouldnt take them up on it. As long as the majors are also flying for sub-100 euros it is worth it to fly a carrier that will take care you when something goes wrong.
Besides the annoyance of the carrier itself. (garish colors, downtrodden staff, horrible rural airports) if you get stuck and miss a flight or have a bad connect etc etc.. they will not feel responsable for you. In fact they will laugh and see this as an opportunity to price gouge you with every option they have. (while you are waiting in beautiful Charleroi.)
If you are very very poor and this is your only chance to get some sun & vacation time, well ok maybe an option for you. Business wise they are not worthwhile.

From a company perspective (not from an employee perspective) it is worthwile...unfortunately, since, the average price for a ticket with LH/SAS is around Euro 500-700 in Eco (This is the price advantage, since no other airline is flying this route)!
For Ryanair it is between Euro 80-180 (short term booking).

This may be a mileage run in terms of miles flown but given that there's no FFP associated with FR I am not sure of the utility of the thread here.

Dirt cheap non mile earning fares can help to cheaply get us on cheap earning flights...
