Irish airline Ryanair says an approved transatlantic expansion will provide services between more than a dozen European and U.S. cities, including Boston, for as little as $15.

Ryanair’s transatlantic services could launch in four or five years, pending the airline’s purchase of a long-haul aircraft. In total, Ryanair aims of provide trips between as many as 14 European and US cities, according to draft plans approved by the airline’s board.

“European consumers want lower-cost travel to the USA and the same for Americans coming to Europe. We see it as a logical development in the European market,” the company said in a statement. A Ryanair spokesman said the airline’s proposals included one-way trips across the pond for a low a Ł10, which is about $15.

In addition to Boston, Ryanair’s transatlantic US destinations include New York, Chicago and Miami. Flights to those cities would take off from London Stansted, Dublin and Berlin.

For those who haven’t flown Ryanair (or EasyJet), let’s just say that low-cost flying used to work a little differently abroad – specifically, the boarding process – before assigned seating was introduced. Here’s how: Once passengers made it through security and arrived at their gate, it became a free-for-all. As soon as the gates to the tarmac opened, it became everyone for themselves and an all-out sprint to the airplane’s steps.

Is a $15 ticket to Europe out of Logan Airport worth that kind of a adrenaline rush? Probably, yes.
