I've just updated the post with another cost-cutting idea: shrink-wrap passengers and pile them up in the cargo area:-) Must feel horrible to pay $30 taxes on $5 purchase price… but yes, still a good deal.

But normally you would have to pay taxes which is maybe $20-30 in addition to that. That $50 ticket was bought just a few weeks before I travelled though so it was a very good price considering SAS or BA would probably charge more than $200.

Is he really comparing local trains (where standing do occur from time to time) to international flights? I really dislike RyanAir but when a ticket from Oslo to Liverpool costs me roughly $50 it is difficult to choose the alternative. I don’t really get his point about standing on a train.
