This is getting better and better.

You may remember that just last month, I told you that Dublin-based Ryanair - the King of the European Discount Airlines - was planning on offering “flights across the pond” for about $17 - in about two years or so.

Make that, next year. And make the airfare just $12.75.

That’s according to a new report from the BBC, which says Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary plans to buy about 50 extra aircraft to make this happen. O’Leary says that while coach will be incredibly cheap, “business class will be very expensive”.

Now, you have to remember, even the coach fares are not quite as cheap as they seem at first glance - you will pay more than $12.75 - thanks to taxes and fees and extras. And don’t forget, on Ryanair, you are only allowed one carry-on - that means a carry-on bag, or a purse, or a laptop, or a briefcase, or a shopping bag -just one of those items. Plus, a first checked-bag costs the same as the base price of your flight, about $12.75. And, you are limited to a total of 33-pounds worth of checked luggage - that’s 33-pounds whether you are checking one bag, two bags or even three bags. More on their fees here.
