interesting. however, the aircraft that they have used to base all their number on, is not even used by ryan/easyjet etc. if someone knows THAT much about the industry, they should at least get the basics right

It's only the basis for 1 figure which is seat density, I'm sure they did the comparison as well as they could.

Why is the average fare for southwest 106,60?

*edit*
Oh i think thats meant to be 106.60. Silly Europeans and their use of commas as decimals and what not.
