    Bloody hell, I just waisted 10 minutes of my morning reading this, but you just gotta, don't you.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    All that writing, all that frustration vented over nothing. When i said transparent pricing i was referring to paying a cost which relates directly to the product. i.e rather than adding extras onto the cost of a ticket to recoup costs. I doubt you'll understand since your judgment is clouded by your excitement that users who have Electron cards don't pay a fee.

    From what you've said above, I'm not sure you understand the term 'transparent pricing'.

    My judgement is not clouded at all - I just enjoy inexpensive travel.
    You're right about the excitement though, I just lurrrrve a bargain.

    aerarann, a smaller operator, makes an identical charge.
    Only for credit cards. All debit cards (except Visa Debit) are free with Aer Arann.

    I really dont understand all the finer points of high finance and business. All I know is that thanks to budget airlines (mainly Ryanair) we have been able to have many more holidays,and visit more places over the past few years than we would otherwise be able to afford. We dont take hold luggage,check in on line,dont care where we sit or who with and pay by Electron.

    'I have learnt to accept it' doesn't equate to 'that's ok then'. comprendez?

    47% down, y on y is what I determine a 'loss'. I guess o'leary does as well.

    25% hedged at $79 for '09/10 when o'leary is calling $50 a possibility and trading has allready fallen below this figure (source: independent nov.4.).

    if o'leary is right in saying that the only kids on the block in future will be lufthansa, air france and ryanair, real competition will cease and you can kiss the butt of your £1 ticket goodbye.

    your a***licking tendancies towards o'leary are laughable.

    now p*** off to stansted and erect a statue to o'leary, which we can all 'worship'.

    i wouldn't expect anything less from you james than your usual name calling nonsense, and i will ignore it as everyone else does when you drop in with your usual abuse on these ryanair threads

    i agree if ryanair get too powerfull and the competition gets knocked on the head then prices will no doubt rise, your comments about ryanair being weak and other airlines are gloating are well wide of the mark.
