I'd say you lucky bugger if really no other charges. But I thought the airport taxes are seperate charges by the goverment and airport operators directly to the passengers?. Then again Ryanair are crazy buggers for some of the daft offers lol. Good on you for the cheapest flight of the year award lol.

2 pence...not pounds.....yeah no idea how they're doing it...all i got charged was £2.50 booking fee.....total invoice price £2.52. It's a special offer or something they have on...gotta book before Thursday i think and travel in June....

Thought it was cheaper to get flight to Eindhoven and train down to Dam Central....and how right i was as Sleasyjet wanted £120 for 2 return flights.

Crazy idea but wouldnt it be cheaper to fly to the UK and get a budget flight with one of our crazy airlines over there.

not crazy at all! i actually did that on my honeymoon 4 years ago but we spent 4-5 days in london then went from Gatwick to Schiphol on a roundtrip and a separate round trip back to the states from Heathrow.

Question though, would i be able to book a flight on one of your crazy cheap carriers from here, or would i have to purchase it when i land at heathrow?

I think more than one of us will be interested in that response. I've often considered buying two separate round-trips, with U.S. to England sandwiched around England to Netherlands.
