The price of travelling

It is true that Ryanair is starting up a new route
from the local airport here in Moss, but even as
a PR stunt I don't know how they can afford it.

But fact is that somebody I know is flying from Moss
to Skavsta airport near Nykoping in Sweden and the
ticket, one way, costs 58 Norwegian kroner for a flight
that lasts around one hour.
58 kr. is roughly ten dollars.
By comparison, a local bustrip in Moss will
cost you 25 kr.

Then this same person is going from Skavsta airport
in Sweden to Warszawa in Poland, and will then use
an Hungarian airline called WIZZ. The two hours flight
will cost around 210 Norwegian kroner.
Roughly 35 dollars.

True, in both cases, with only ten kilo of handluggage,
no meal, no extra insurances.

The price of travelling......
