> £50. A similar flight in the US (DC to Miami, for example) would be easily 5x that, possibly 7-8x.

Maybe round-trip at a peak time. But if you're talking about one-way flights, you can fly across the entire country (NYC to SFO) for <$150 without hunting for a deal. DC to Miami is $50 (£37) each way, all of next month.
To be fair, those are on Frontier, so it's roughly equivalent to Ryanair.
Yes, GP was discussing Ryanair flight prices and claimed that a "similar flight in the US" would be more expensive. I'm pointing out that similar flights in the US are actually cheaper, and we have budget airlines too.
I just spot checked and you can even find round trip for about that cross country. There was even some delta flights showing up really cheap.
Too bad they’re never cheap when I need to travel…
