And they serve Google Ads when you search for a flight. Unbelivable.

It’s not that much different from flying with them. The cabin is laden with ads: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ryanair_B737-800_Cabin.jpg
While it's crazy to think that you'd want to drive people away, it's probably rather controlled.

The ads (1) open in a new window, (2) Ryanair knows that no one is going to beat them on price, and (3) Ryanair can block any company that they think is a threat from showing ads.

Some governments would be served well by cutting costs to the absolute bare minimum and increasing non-tax revenue streams.
