I fly GermanWings roundtrip from Stuttgart to London fairly
frequently. The 0 euro tickets end up costing about 40 euros one way
for the airport fees and associated costs. However, London Stansted
has high charges which other airports don't have, as the same deal to
Paris Charles De Gaulle is only 30 euros, and other airports are even
less. Now, some 0 euro flights are actually free with them not
collecting miscellaneous fees. You can sign up with them at www.germanwings=
.com
to be advised of their frequent specials.
But what really amazes me is some of the charges. Trying to avoid the
several euro credit card charge, I inquired with their ticket agent at
the Stuttgart airport about buying a ticket in person. There was a 7
euro charge for dealing with her in person!!!!!!!!, no thanks.
I'm quite happy with being to fly round trip to London for 80 euros on
GermanWings, and many of their other destinations are even less.
