A memo to airline passengers {Gadling}

Dec 1st 2009 11:22AM Ryanair (and other European LCC's) have made a business of flying for insanely low rates, and they make tons of money, albeit on ancillary fees (fees for baggage, pets, airport check-in, etc.). In their last fiscal year, ancillary revenue was at €598 million, compared to a total revenue of €2.942 billion. I suspect that we've only seen the beginning of these fees in the US.
