Forget Dino-airlines,
...welcome, as in: promote, ie patronize, new players!
For illustration, here a little 5-day trip in August on RyanAir, all in 5days:
Hamburg-Pisa, €2.00 (in words: two) +tax, Milano/Bergamo-London Stenstad €10.00 ("ten")+tax, London Luton-Dusseldorf/Niederrhein € 0.35 ("thirty five [cents]")+tax. 3 flight legs, total €12.35, plus some €80 in taxes and fees... booked approx 3 weeks ahead on their website in less than 5min. no insider wheelingdealing, no coupon clipping, no "elite"-crap 'privilege' access...
I rest my case.
Ryanair btw was also last year's most profitable airline (some 15+% 'ROI', if I recollect correctly) & incidentally is also Europe's/world's fastes growing commerical airline... you wonder why, eh.
FF the world over, unite.
Boycott wherever & whenever you can the likes of DL, CO, et al.
Make them dismantle their scam-operations-in-commercial-airline-disguise and let them find other venues to suck consumers' lifeblood....
Oh, and btw:
NO MORE GOV SUBSIDIES for any of them, under no -as in: NO- circumstances! (Like aviation was the only industry maimed by terror?)
Do let them go broke, yes, please.
The economy would be way better off for it. Just watch what that will do for rejuvinating commerical aviation...
peace,lovin'+travelling
