What It Really Costs To Fly on Ryanair

Low Cost Carriers are notorious for their confusing and forever changing pricing schemes, and none mess with our common sense more than the European breeds.

When we first landed in Barcelona back in October we were bewildered by all the signs leading us out of the Barcelona International Airport. These signs appear in the air and on the ground in three different languages: Catalonian, Spanish and English.

We encountered the same sort of "guidance" on the streets in Barcelona as the signs on the pavement directed us to the underground metro detour. It was actually quite helpful, even if staring down at the cement for your next "clue" was sort of annoying. Can you imagine if New York City actually did something like that? Of course, they wouldn't. That would be borderline helpful.
