Told You So Travel: Ryanair Ready for Sarko-Bruni Honeymoon
After a globe-trotting whirlwind romance, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni got hitched in Paris this weekend. And though they spent their wedding night at the Palace of Versailles, they could do much better to keep up their Super World Traveler status.
Ryanair, the airline the couple sued over a witty ad, has lots of departures from Paris. What better way to put a ridiculous lawsuit to rest than snagging a super-cheap seat on the low cost carrier?
Flights leave Paris Beauvais airport--which is about 50 miles north of the city--for Stockholm, Rome, Dublin and Valencia among other spots. Sarko hardly seems like the romantic type, but what bride wouldn't love a trip to Venice? And if the duo isn't ready to put the feud with Ryanair behind them, no worries: Beauvais is also served by Wizz Air and Centralwings.

Centralwings Loves Kids, Discount Tickets
Following the (largely Polish-held) theory that Poland is the center of Europe, the low cost carrier Centralwings is, of course, based in Poland. The airline flies out of eight different Polish cities, though apart from flights out of Warsaw and Krakow, the destination choices are fairly limited. Coming up this winter, though, some new flights will open to Athens, Barcelona, Lyon and Manchester.
But the big news over at Centralwings is they're trying to drum up some family business and are proudly advertising that children can get a discount on tickets. Infants under two fly free, and all children aged between 2 and 16 get a 20% discount on the adult fare. It started out sounding kinda generous, but when we calculate that the 20% discount on a 19 Zloty ($7) flight is just about enough to buy a small fries, it starts to sound like a marketing trick.
Of course, if your travel arrangements are completely inflexible or you book at the last minute, you might end up with some useful savings. Tickets can go for up to 600 Zloty, and with the money you save there, you'll be able to buy a burger to go with those fries.
