As someone who frequently visits Glasgow. I fly from Dublin to Glasgow International every few months. The majority of my flights have been €9.99 each way. And that has been, until now, the cheapest I've seen. €7.49 is unreal, nearly seems like an error.

It's only €1.50 cheaper. Is anything that is €1.50 cheaper 'unreal'

I just meant in the sense that for as long as I've been travelling to Scotland, I've never seen the price under €9.99. Does this €7.49 mean they are lowering their prices? One flight I was on had around 30 people on it, with 2 stewards. Minimum price of €299.70 for everyone, that's under the assumption that everyone paid the same price. Most likely some of those people payed a lot more if they booked a few days prior to flight.

I don't see how they can make a profit from only €7.49. Surely fuel alone would cost more.

€2.50 cheaper each way actually. It is the cheapest i have seen on that route in a few years. With airlines having bought fuel in bulk during the oil price crash we should be looking at good value airfares for the rest of the year and an overall drop in prices across the board.

They won't make any money from the €7.49 fares. However the route is very profitable as a whole for the airline. I flew it yesterday afternoon and it was completely full. Some will have paid €10, I paid €20, others will have paid €200 for a last minute flight on a bank holiday weekend in Scotland.

Hey, it's Saturday morning. My calculator had a long night.

Not sure how useful this is, but it appears if one books through edreams and pay by diners club then flights start from as low as 10.98 euro return, same flights by any other type of card payment are 26.98 euro upwards. Must be some tie in with diners club, not sure if many have diners club credit cards, I certainly don't. Hope it might be of help to someone out there.

They only release a limited number of cheap seats per flights and then the price keeps rising so the average per flight would be a lot higher...The low cost model is about quick turnaround of flights (less than half hour on the ground) and making the profit on volume....
