Last Minute bookings in Europe...

Everyone seems to think that last minute, at the desk, 30 mins before your
flight bookings are expensive, but, every time I have got a ticket like
this, it has been very cheap, infact cheaper than so called lo-cost
airlines... eg, this morning flight, buying a ticket at the desk DUB -
LON, Ryanair, 295 Eu
BMI 70 Eu,
Even though I have never flowen Ryanair, I guess the service is better on
British Midland

Was that a one way or return ticket?

Are you saying that it would not be cheaper for a advanced purchased
Return ticket?

Had you booked in advance, 54 euro would have been possible (just now for
next monday). If you book well in advance, you can get under 40 euro (13/10).
Those are Ryanair prices including tax. I didn't check other airlines.

All I am saying is that Gate prices aren't always horrendously expensive.
Also, gate prices for lo-cost airlines seem to be much more expensive.

I am sure you will agree that this is only in a small percentage of
cases and locations.
