Aer Lingus - Rip Off?

    I keep getting emails from Aer Lingus advertising 'deals'... They sent me one this morning advertising flights to the USA from €199 Including Taxes - see their website.

    But I haven't been able to find any flights for that price. I've found flights for €164 / €179 etc. but the taxes are always added on at the end, bringing the total to over €200 so the taxes are not included at all!!! :mad:

    Actually, this may be better suited to consumer issues? - Sorry if it's in the wrong forum!

    Yeah the cheapest I can find is €218 - sounds like a bit of false advertising there.

    contact their customer care and ask them to give a direct link as per the advert.
    I've done it in the past with ryanair myself.

    Read the terms "as part of a return trip"

    Price for 1 AdultPrices are shown in Euro
    From Dublin To New York
    Fare 164.00
    Taxes and Charges 54.00
    Flight Total 218.00
    From New York To Dublin
    Fare 164.00
    Taxes and Charges 16.25
    Flight Total 180.25

    Total Price: EUR 398.25

    OK, so it's 12.5c over the 199.00, but not bad...........

    Yeah, unrealistic, I know. But it is possible to get the prices, that's all I was checking.
