we are in danger or creating different levels of society and depriving less technically minded and astute people from benefits we ourselves can enjoy, accept or at least cope with.

It is already here.
If you can't use a telephone bang on 8am with a redial button to try and make an appointment to see your GP, there is little chance of you getting one that day.

Surely, by definition, if they were hidden then you would'nt be able to find them, I bet ya 19 of the queens pennies that all the charges are outlined in the T&C's.

If they were hidden they would'nt on the checkout page of the site, im constantly amazed thant people claim they have been covertly charged by ryanair for charges, yet prior to you accepting their t&c's they tell you how much the flight will actually be, if you are then not happy with the total amount then walk away and try elsewhere.

I honestly think I see a different version of the booking form on my computer than some peoples.

When you click an option, such as priority boarding, the price appears next to it, ie. GBP 6.00. If you click no, it goes to GBP 0.00.

We should have a seperate forum or thread where people who need help can input their dates, destination and times and someone can come along and advise on the lowest fares. I would be glad to assist anyone who needs it.

Surely this will be of more benefit more people than this endless arguing.

To anyone that actually reads what they are agreeing to, the answer is £1.

Are we ever going to get an end to this sensationalist journalism? :rolleyes:

Hey dmg24.

Slight correction required in your post (and knowledge). Go to the Ryanair website. Pay for a £2 flight USING JUST £2. See how you get on. Ryanair don't accept cash. Therfore if you are paying by card, you pay a charge. That's a sly way of stiffing you out of more cash.

It's not the journalism that's sensational, it's O'Leary and his bunch of gombeen money grabbers.

End the money-grabbing tricks of Ryanair, and perhaps some of the journos who report them will go away. Or go elsewhere.

Pay using a visa electron card and you will only pay £2.

Like I said, we should have a seperate thread so people like Paddy can be educated. I'll let someone else field the reply.

They do though, if it says £1 flight sale, then the check in charge is included in that!

Indeed it is. However the sale fares are not available on all routes on all dates, in which case you have no option?

That is simply not true

Enlighten me as to how I can get onboard a Ryanair flight without checking in? (unless of course you work for Ryanair, but thats cheating )

PAYMENT DETAILS
*********0.00 GBP Total Fare
*********2.00 GBP Taxes, Fees & Charges
*********2.00 GBP Total Paid

Where's the charge then?
