Just bought a Glasgow to Toronto ticket for 3 weeks time, 80 quid. The remaining 160 was in fuel surchages and tax. Their software for pricing and filling up seats would be interesting to figure out.

The last years I was hopping around EU, GermanWings got to be my favorite.  I see they've rebranded.

Another one bites the dust...there was a great segment on John Oliver last weekend on the mergers and force-outs that is growing the profitability of the big corps. Soon we will have to pay to use the loo.
