Charges are all listed here...

and there is a link when you come to pay which tells you this.

Yes all my fault - haven't used them before, and I'm with Abbey as well, ho hum. My computer froze when I was paying so I didn't get the end screen so only just found out when they emailed me.

Wasn't even a particularly cheap flight - we usually go with Monarch and I think I will in the future.

How do you search for the 1p flights then?

Ta!

You need to read the booking criteria here and applicable days

http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/fares.php?dest=REU&base=BHX&pos=cday

Then check out which flights travel from your departure airport and search the dates you require. For instance no flights on a Friday or Sunday best days to look on are Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Following advice from another thread on this forum, I used a website called EntroPay (for the first time) to "create" an on-line Visa card. I then used my exisiting CC to "charge" the "card". This cost me 5% (ish) in fees. Using the Card Number, and security code provided, I then booked on the Ryan Air site, using all my own details as I would normally (Address, name on card etc - except the new card infomation, obviously). The transactions went through fine, as "Visa Electron", resulting in no extra charges.

Don't know if it was supposed to work or not with the name on the "card" (which is displayed as "EntroPay User" and not my name), but it went thourgh, so who knows.

The Co-Operative Bank issue Visa Electron cards when you open a Cashminder Account.

I only opened it for the purposes of booking Ryanair flights and I paid 10p for return flights this morning so it does work!

I had to apply to open the account by telephone but the card came through quickly and you don't have to pay a set amount into the account each month.

The banks though will require about 7 days to open the account, so you couldn't use them for todays sale - my problem, really. Hence why this other method seems to be better - it is instant.

Halifax Easycash account has one. I use online banking from my current account with another bank to transfer a couple of pounds when I want to book flights.

Exactly what i was going to say re Halifax Easycash doing one I got it just for this purpose and do the same thing as you..Transfer a couple of quid from my Halifax current account online to the Halifax electron account, then book. Takes only seconds to do.

I also used ENTROPAY for the 1st time recently and entered my real name as opposed to "entropay user" and that went through fine as well. The 5 % fee sounds expensive but is only 50p for a tenner, which covered 4 of us, as opposed to £38 if booked using a debit/credit card.
