Using credit card at atm overseas
I understand that if I use my credit card overseas at an atm, interest is payable immediately on the amount. How can I pay off that amount immediately. I mean if my cc bill is 2,000 and I take 100 cash at an ATM, how do I pay off the 100, but not the 2000? 🤷

Ryanair and printed boarding passes
Can anyone tell me unequivocally whether they no longer allow customers to print boarding passes? This seems draconian (if typical). I have seen it stated that they are only stopping the facility for customers to ask THEM (Ryanair staff) to print boarding passes at the airport.
