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.
