Air travel to Ireland ... does it still hold surprises? Okay, I would rate myself as a fairly seasoned traveler, but some surprises are still in store on every trip I take. Like a sign I spotted at Budapest-Ferihegy Airport while waiting for check-in.
The illuminated panel designated this counter to Ryanair, helpfully pointing out that we were in the Economy Class queue. Hold on ... Ryanair is the most frill-less of all no-frills airlines, they do not actually have "classes" on their flights. You book a seat, full stop. But apparently the programming skills lavished on the display did not keep up with developments in air travel. Or the programmer was simply confused - as many people become when trying to book a flight to Ireland. The choice is too wide, the pitfalls are many, and prices range from dead cheap to exorbitant.
