The ULCC model has proved to be successful, with ULCCs such as Allegiant and Frontier recording strong growth in operating revenue over recent years, as has the overall ULCC segment.

In this dataset, we collected the average prices of all flight departures in Spain projected in December by Ryanair. Although we are uploading only raw data, this dataset can be useful to study the connectivity of Spain, and its accessibility by the people (comparing frequencies and prices in different airports).

We searched for the December period to focus on the relative fluctuations of prices in holidays versus the rest of the month. Also, the prices may change between holidays lengths in days, and the day of departure. Specifically, we searched for 2 to 4 days of vacation, and departures from Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We only searched for the average prices of two adults because Ryanair prices are averages per person.

All in all, this dataset has 11 attributes and 9794 rows.
