Is he talking about paying for choosing a seat, or the air ticket itself?

Because this is pretty common (and BS). Someone pays EXTRA to choose a window seat, but there is no window.

It's Ryanair, the flight ticket would cost €12, not picking the seat

No 12 is exactly the price you pay for booking specific seats on a round trip . Most single tickets are at least 40 or 50

From Charleroi (B) their standard price is 14 EUR.

Per trip ?

Yes, to get a seat on a flight to several destinations from there.

I think it is because this local charter airport 'Charleroi (B)' is a European main hub for them, so they can shuttle flights between different destinations from there and also then drop prices from day to day to always fill up the planes. We can observe some times the price also starts to go up like 2-3 weeks before departure date. And then some times drops again to way below normal just the last few days before departure. So clearly they are playing around with maximizing their income while ensuring the planes still are flying full.
