The local news media in Boston are reporting today that the European discount airline RyanAir would like to extend its service to the U.S., using secondary airports on the East Coast and that Manchester, NH and Providence RI are seriously bidding to be the Boston-area site.
In that Boston Globe article, the CEO of RyanAir is reported as saying that he “envisions the new airline charging as little as 10 euros” (currently about $14) to fly from Dublin to the U.S., raising hopes that the fares from the U.S. to Ireland would also be significantly cheaper. I don’t know if you’d really be able to fly to Dublin from Boston for under $20, but I’m sure it would drive the prices down dramatically.
