Well, .01 EUR plus 'fees' (more fees than I've ever seen in my life - http://www.ryanair.com/en/terms-and-conditions#regulations-t... ) including a minimum 6 EUR "Admin Fee" for the privilege of buying a ticket and a 40 EUR fee if you lose or don't print a boarding pass...

I didn't downvote you but I find it a little amusing that people in Europe can get worked up over an $8 ticketing fee on a $0.02 ticket. In the US, it can cost as much as $500 one-way to fly from Pittsburgh, PA to Philadelphia, PA. $79 one-way Chicago-Atlanta is considered so spectacularly cheap that the offer consumes most of the above-the-fold real estate on Southwest Airlines' website.

You get ripped off, so you laugh at other people who don't like getting ripped off. Nice.
