Don't wanna be that guy but this article is a tad bit misleading. 13 euros for a plane ticket is an anomaly and probably due to governments funding airlines to encourage tourism to their countries.

That said, a couple hours on a rickety Ryanair for <13 euros beats buying a bunch of train tickets and the stress involved. Downside is missing out on getting to stop in some cool places and see some pretty sights with comfy leg room. (Also trains are more efficient due to the amount of people boarding)

โ‚ฌ13 is cheap for Ryanair, but it's not some absurd anomaly. I went from Ireland to Italy for โ‚ฌ18, and took a bunch of other flights for <โ‚ฌ30.
