Your 10 euro Ryanair fare is really about 45 euros, and the fees are priced so no single one looks like the culprit.

Beat the upsell:

  • Pack to the free under-seat box (40 by 30 by 20 cm) and skip Priority
  • Take the free random seat on anything under 2 hours
  • Add bags online, never at the gate (70 to 75 euros there)
  • Check in online to dodge the reissue fee
  • "Frankfurt" Hahn is 120 km out, so price the 2-hour bus first

The fare was never the number that mattered.
