Shall I, shan't I?

I want to book a flight with Ryanair but, their "system cannot display the tax inclusive fare at the moment"
I have a flight for £20 return for two showing as £115! I am concerned that if I book it they may not deduct the taxes, has anyone had a probelm with this?
Many thanks

    Carmen, Ryanair flights do not show all taxes and charges on the first page, but if you select the flights it them shows you what you will pay including the taxes and charges, before you actually book and pay for them.

    They seem to have a statement on their website:
    "We regret, due to system performance issues, we have been unable to display the tax inclusive fare box on this page, since 25/06/2008. We are currently working with our suppliers, including Navitaire to resolve these problems and hope to restore the tax, fees & charges inclusive display shortly."

    As susan says, the taxes are shown once you select your flights.
    It will give a breakdown of flight costs and taxes/fees separately.

    If you really believe that the price of £20 return per person is the correct price, I personally wouldn't consider booking flights that are priced up at £115 & have to go through the hassle of getting the extra refunded.

    NOTE:
    If you pay by debit/credit card (except Electron???), you will be charged PER PERSON PER JOURNEY. So for 2 people return the charge may be £4 x 4.
    Also, be aware of additional charges for non on-line check-in, checking luggage into the hold......
    Read the T&Cs before you book, if you're not a frequent flyer with Ryanair.
