I just bought my return trip to Europython from www.ryanair.com.
GBP 28 (about 40 Euros) return trip! Similar fares to other
part of Europe with Ryanair, Go and Easyjet.
I strongly urge anyone flying on a budget in Europe to look at
flying via Stansted. Cheap flights come and go to minor
airports all over Europe.
My flight out arrives in Charleroi at 22:35 on Tuesday
(details below if anyone else wants to do the same),
and there is one back at 20:00 each night. Those
would be perfect if you needed one more leg in Europe.
And hopefully enough Pythonistas for a coding sprint
if there's a 5 hour delay :-)

p.s. Here's the curious bit: the return flight element is
£4.48 (7 Euros). The rest was all airport taxes and
a credit card handling fee. If you want to know how
they do it, try booking one the week before and see
how much the price goes up....
