Ryanair has shaken up European travel tremendously.  Following on the steps of easyJet, Ryanair has executed, business wise, much better than any other low cost carrier in the Europe.  They have become a trade name, like Kleenex, Xerox.  'You should just Ryanair it,' can be heard around the world.  And now, they are attempting to purchase the sluggish Aer Lingus.

DUBLIN, Ireland (Reuters) -- Shares in budget airline Ryanair rose on Friday as investors digested its surprise bid for Irish carrier Aer Lingus, whose stock rose on expectations Ryanair might have to raise the bid.

Ryanair shares were 2.08 percent higher at 8.85 euros by 1112 GMT in an Irish stock market that was down 0.2 percent. Aer Lingus was up by 1.7 percent at 2.95 euros -- 15 cents above the price offered by Ryanair on Thursday in a bid totaling 1.48 billion euros ($1.9 billion).

"The Aer Lingus price is rising on the assumption that if (Ryanair CEO) Michael O'Leary wants to get his 50.1 percent, he's going to have to pay above 2.80 euros," one Dublin trader said.

Luckily for you, we search both Ryanair and Aer Lingus, but I guess soon we may not have to.  Hmmm... We'll let you know, but always know that only Mobissimo searches the most low cost airlines in Europe and around the world.
