Return ALC/LGW for eur60. Incredibly cheap. Actually, now I know the RyanAir rules and know what to expect, I'll get by. I was caught out last time by the fact that their checked baggage allowance (which you have to pay extra for anyway) is only 15kg, 5kg less than any other comparable airline I've ever flown. On the other hand, easyJet is only eur40 more... maybe it's worth it.
