Landing royalty:Ryanair got the royal treatment last week when the budget airline was graced with the presence of Queen Sofia of Spain on a flight from Santander to Stansted.

The queen reportedly paid just €15 for the flight to see her brother, the former King of Greece, who is currently being cared for in a London hospital. The airline’s response? “Ryanair is Spain’s second largest airline and all Ryanair passengers are treated like kings and queens.”
