  • Ryan Air now charging £16 to book by Credit card!! The only card that doesn’t attract a £16 charge is a Visa Electron card which I don’t have (and most people don’t have one).

    However, there is a way round it. If you use Ryan Air vouchers to pay for the flight, there’s no additional cost. And Guess where you buy the vouchers from? You got it. www.ryanair.com and click on Gift Vouchers in the middle section.

    So you can use your normal Visa Debit card to pay for the vouchers with no charges and then use the vouchers as payment for your flight.

    Simple eh? Pass it on.

    according to me the difference is £8 not £16 as you claim.

    Back to troll land with you and maybe work on your maths whilst your there.

    all the best

    phatbear is right

    i've just booked flights, but using my electron card,

    whilst on the web page just checked all of the other cards, and i can confirm like phatbear did It is £4 per person, per flight, so a return is £8

    not £16
