    haha, well it's 'no frills', but just fine. Make sure you look at the small print like it'll cost you to use the baggage haul. They like hand luggage, makes it quicker, but at the prices they charge what can you do?
    I've flown to Spain a few times, Ireland twice, and Germany with them, never had a problem.
    Make sure you book in advance, like as much in advance as possible, because the fares go up nearer the date.
    I would also reccomend the hotel link there, very reasonable.

    sweet, i thought i'd have to pack bungee cords and have to strap myself to the wing :lol:

    thanks for the advice, i will definitely check it out as an option if i can find a cheap flight to london, hopping over to madrid from there might be the way to go moneywise, as well as the hotel tip!

    Oh, go to Madrid.
    It's a beautiful, magical city, just sublime. It truly is the city that has everything... including history ;)
    I saw PJ there in 2007, best trip I ever had.
    And, I flew with RYANAIR :lol:

    oh i've been to madrid twice already, have family there....i LOVE it! my best friend and i drove around spain ten years ago, and of all the cities we visited,i still liked madrid the most. people are out every single nite till late, so vampiric...perfect for night owls like ourselves :D i'm thinking if i can get a flight to london on the cheap, then add the fare from london/madrid, that perhaps it wouldn't cost as much as flying directly to madrid. i'll see what trouble i get myself into haha

    and how lucky you were to see PJ there....nice!

    well, I enjoyed it. Outdoors, sunshine, beer, tapas and then Pearl Jam :D real classy.
    So, you know it then, lucky you, I'd love to go back soon, there's this great bar in the centre that is like a deli-come butchers shop come pub....incredible place. Look for it, it's unmissable. :D

    that sounds like super class to me....fantastic combo! :)

    Don't limit yourself to Ryanair. Ryanair and Easyjet are the obvious UK/Irish based ones, but look further and you've got SkyEurope, Germanwings, Wizzair, Transavia, ThomsonFly, TUIFly, AirBerlin....

    skyscanner is bloody awesome to dig up intra-Europe flights
    115 bucks for half a haircut by a novice? I want my money back!

    that's it, Peurto Del Sol :D
    It's an amazing place, I think mostly locals get in there, they do beer and wine, and a plate of cold meet andolives and bread, and a side of pig if you can carry it :mrgreen:
    I seem to remember it was really cheap to drink at, can't remember the name but look around for it....I suppose bizarre is a word I'd use for it.


    and I stayed here

    great location, clean and very reasonable.

    ah yes, it's all about the locals' haunts for sure! my aunt owns a bar (used to belong to my dad when he and my mom lived there), so i'm sure to score many free drinks there :D

    mmmmm beer, wine, meat, olives and pig....i want that NOW! especially the beer...been a long ass week :lol:

    thanks for the link and info! :)

    Great :D
    well, I've been to Barcelona, that was prety cool also, but like you say, Madrid has that special something.

    Well, when you get back home, and you see all those adds, and here people saying 'New York is the greatest city in the world'....you can either agree or tell them they're quite wrong. i.e you're qualified to know 8-)
