  • After reading this I just checked my Entropay account and its down 75p and the charge changed from £7.50 to 8.25 Euros, not enough to concern me as the saving is still massive.
  • let me get this right...

    Some of you have used a UK based, sterling electron type card to buy flights out of the UK in sterling and mucker has charged you more than what he told you he was to charge you at the end of the booking process?

    if so thats theft


    as an aside i booked at 2210 a few days ago at .93611 £/€ exchanger rate for herself and the wee one.
    i booked for me at 2212 on the same day and mucker charged me .9845!

    he's going too far
  • No, I used a global based company and could have paid in $, £ or Euros. Had I paid into my account in Euros then my bank would have charged me extra for the conversion. Depending on the rate of exchange when I next top up my Entropay account then I may decide to pay in Euros.

    Ryanair may charge for toilet use on planes

    1 hour 2 mins ago
    reute.jpg Irish carrier Ryanair, Europe's largest budget airline, might start charging passengers for using the toilet while flying, chief executive Michael O'Leary said on Friday. Skip related content
    "One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in future," he told BBC television.
    He said this would not inconvenience passengers travelling without cash. "I don't think there is anybody in history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound."
    O'Leary has a reputation as a cost cutter, expanding Ryanair by offering low headline fares and charging extra for items such as additional luggage.
    Last week, Ryanair announced it was to shut all check-in desks at airports and have passengers check in online instead.
    "We're all about finding ways of raising discretionary revenue so we can keep lowering the cost of air travel," he said.

    Taking your own biscuits will probably become chargeable too, ie £1 per crumb dropped!
