Sounds too good to be true.

And, sure enough, it's not. The fare <u>to</u> this island paradise is 99&cent;, but the <u>return</u> is $299.

Sounds a lot like $150 plus taxes each way to me.

This being the summer season when most other airlines are charging $800-1000 R/T to DUB, I don't see anything wrong with a $500 deal. I don't work for the co and I don't care if somebody takes advantage of this deal, or if it's even a deal.

Just reporting a possibility. Buyers should always beware.

It's the same with all the budget airlines. You start off with cheap prices then by time you've paid everything it's expensive.

They can always offer cheap one way fares because hardly anyone ever uses them but they sound good. Ireland from only 99 cents.
