What extras will I pay for on my

No-Frills flight?

We often see advertisements for flights starting from just 1p per trip and as inviting as these may appear we all know there are hidden extras and we wont really be flying for 1p!  But as more and more people put together their own package holidays it is worth knowing how much the "little extras" flight companies charge can add up to.  It could be as much as £262 plus taxes  for two persons travelling to Spain on a return trip including Speedy boarding and taking one bag and set of golf clubs each on Ryanair!  For a similar trip with Easyjet your extras would be  £113 and with Thomsonfly £119 and Monarch £169.  There is no doubt that there are some bargain flights available to be booked but it is worth shopping around to get your best value for money flights to Europe.
