I didn't know you would be in London.  Try Ryan Air www.ryanair.com.  From
London to Milan is about $1.50, yep one dollar fitty.  The seats don't lean
back and you have to bring your own nuts, but you cannot beat the price!


Watch Ryan Air's REAL prices. There are various taxes and expenses and
levies and costs and .... . Our trips to and from Ireland costs several
times as much as they quoted on the web when we booked. They have a
massively sliding scale based on seat availability when you book. I imagine
that if you pay full fare that the extras aren't much %age wise BUT if you
get their cheap fares expect them to be expanded many times over. I'd guess
(perhaps incorrectly) that that $1.50 flight would end up in the $30-$50
region. Still cheap, but... .

Ryan Air seemed competent but do they move the passengers through. At Dublin
they turned off the runway while travelling many times faster than I've ever
seen an aircraft taxi before. You could feel the plane cornering. Woosh,
gone, next please ... . Very exciting.
