@ryan
Your friend ryan is not really a friend, to all those who think that ryan friend is a bargain , one better think of the hidden costs. Airports are far out , so going to the destination requires expensive transfers, besides every kilo is heavely charged. so where is ryan a friend?

If Airmalta is carrying diving equipment for free it should market it better. First and foremost it should introduce new destinations like Hurghada and Sharm. I don't see any credible diving destinations Airmalta goes except our country.

"airmalta CARRIES YOUR DIVING EQUIPMENT for free [my emphasis]"
No watchdog here, no. Can we read before posting, for the sake of everyone who won't take the time to verify this (ironically) misleading comment, please?

A few notes:
1. Ryanair costs go beyond the obvious ones. When going to "Barcelona" for example, you still have to pay for further transportation to get from Girona to Barcelona (train/taxi/etc). Factor in the time you spend travelling, and time essentially lost from your holiday (time is money, after all).
2. Ryanair prices are really, really cheap. REALLY cheap. So cheap in fact that I am surprised nobody notices just how strangely cheap they are. How do they make a profit from such cheap prices (even when other airlines struggle after implementing cost-cutting and efficiency-boosting exercises)? The answer: subsidies. I highly recommend you read a bit:

http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/255241-ryanair-flies-high-subsidies
http://airobserver.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/french-mp-wants-an-investigation-over-ryanair%E2%80%99s-subsidies/
Now don't get me wrong, cheap is good. This kind of cheap isn't good for us consumers in the long term. In the long term we're better off when companies compete fairly, without being subsidised. That way if prices go down, they go down sustainably (and they don't kill each other off like Ryanair intends to do to hike its demands on airports up when it becomes a lifeline to Malta).
I'd hardly call Ryan a friend, not a good one anyway.

YOUR friend is an extortionist.
Follow their history in practically EVERY airport they fly to; the latest being Gerona (what YOUR friend calls Barcellona!).
There will come the time when YOUR friend will blackmail OUR country and take OUR taxes in subsidies.
When will people learn that Ryanair is only Ryanair's friend!
Until then...sweet dreams!
