Answer 1

Usually advertising and if all of the fuel and food are give to them and they don't pay for it and there is always the chance the government is helping them out

Answer 2

Ryanair have a compulsory 220 euro fare when booking on the day of travel! between that and the price of seats within a few days of departure they make a bomb, also the premium rate phone lines!

Answer 3

Half year profits for the period ended October 31, 2007 included ancillary revenue of €252 million

This activity was associated with the sale of car hire, hotels, travel insurance, as well as on board sales and excess baggage revenues. Ancillary revenue now accounts for just over 16% of total revenues.

Answer 4

Remember the old saying "Stack it high, Sell it cheap"

It's just as true in the aviation industry.
