Paper Driving License abroad
Hi, I'm over 65 and I still have the old style (valid) paper driving license. Last year we went to Crete and I booked a car through Ryanair and arranged to pick up the car at Green Motion (BIG MISTAKE).

How do you sue Ryanair?
After having sold me a ticket, Ryanair then prevented me from printing a boarding pass (ie, prevented me from flying) until I paid the "outstanding" amount of a previous fare. The only problem is, this amount had been refunded to me by MasterCard, so strictly speaking, they should have taken the matter up with MasterCard.…

Do airline fare 'sales' really offer bargains?
Has any research been done on how real airline 'sales' really are? Virgin, for example, is pushing its 'Winter sale' right now, while many other airlines do the same thing at various times.
