Ryanair petty law-breaking - bait and switch on hot drink and KitKat

For a couple of years they've offered a combined deal - for €4.50 you can get a chocolate bar with it - I normally choose a four-finger KitKat bar. Did so again yesterday. There it was - top of page 7 in the inflight magazine…

Hi there, has anyone got a way of avoiding the exorbitant one way hire charge in the US.

Airport luggage 'cage' too small: any redress?
So my friend specifically bought a small suitcase to meet Flybe's required dimensions for hand luggage.
