No, the title of this post has no typo error. RyanAir really does plan to launch transatlantic flights between the US and Europe with $12 fares.

If that plan pushes through, it would be a dream come true for many budget travelers.

So what exactly does CEO Michael O'Leary have in mind?

• 6 US cities will be served.


• 12 US Dollars is the cheapest possible fare rate but it could go up through the sale of food, duty free goods and in-flight entertainment.


• 50 widebody Airbus A350s or Boeing 787s will be aquired to operate the routes.

I wonder how the other airlines will react to this.
