Michael O'Leary, the chief executive of Ryanair, has claimed the airline could offer flights to the US for less than £10 when it eventually buys the long-haul aircraft it needs.
The flights would leave from up to 14 major European cities to 12-14 destinations in the US, he said. Passengers, however, would pay extra for everything from meals to baggage.
So what would a long-haul flight with Ryanair be like? And how much would you save once all those extras have been factored in?
Seating
Currently Ryanair has a fleet of almost 300 Boeing 737-800s. Seats have a “pitch” (depth) of 30 inches and are 17 inches wide. A handful of premium economy seats have slightly more legroom, with a pitch of 32-34 inches. These short- to medium-range aircraft could not be used to operate a long-haul network, but to get an idea of the legroom that might be available – there are a few existing low-cost airlines that fly long-haul.

Passengers, however, would pay extra for everything from meals to baggage.

One seat per flight?

No even ignoring the fact the tax would be way more than a tenner, you'd still have to pay. Chances are you're going for more than a weekend and will need checked in baggage if you're going long haul.
Once you include all that, I'd rather pay a few quid more and go with a real airline.
