ryanair has some drawbacks, not the least of which is that they usually fly into secondary airports that are hard to get to. one time while i was living in paris i found a nice weekender fare to stockholm for 40E, inclusive of all taxes. i was used to taking easyjet from CDG mostly but i thought id give it a shot. well i had to pay 25E for a roundtrip bus fare to make the 90 min trip up to beauvais airport where the terminal is, i kid you not, one of those plastic white tents that people blow up for parades to sell hotdogs under! and the floor was made out of plywood... then, once i got to stockholm i was at some faraway airport that was, again, about 90 mins outside the city. so then i chalked up another 250 kronas (25E) for roundtrip bus fare once more! all told the trip cost me 90E and wasted several hours of my time on busses and after that i swore i'd never take ryanair again so long as i had to go up to beauvais to do it.
