Jaunted Good Fare: Ryanair Flies to a Nonexistent Town

Good Fare: London-Balaton, $125 RT on Ryanair

Ryanair's flights between London Stansted and Balaton (actually an airport near the village of Sármellék, southwest of Hungary's Lake Balaton) are finally on line, and are currently advertised as "free" on Ryanair's site. They're actually about $125 after taxes, as few of the fares available are actually free, and you have to book by tomorrow for travel through October.

"Balaton" has the distinction of being the first destination Ryanair has chosen to fly to in Hungary. The lake itself is a popular local tourist destination; called the "Hungarian sea", there are a trove of lakeside towns along its shores, including Balatonfüred and Keszthely. Near Keszthely is the thermal spa of Hévíz, a private resort since 1795. After two hours flying on Ryanair, that detox will sound mighty nice, indeed.
