Any ways to not pay RYANAIRS card booking fees?

How to beat Ryanair credit card booking charges?
I book flights regularly & recently started using the "ICE" card as per this sites advise. However, Now, I am having great difficulty "loading" further money onto the card. ANY OTHER CARDS DO SIMILAR TO THE ICE CARD?

  • Hi, are Ryanair still allowing fee free on Visa Electron?

    If so go to https://www.entropay.com where you can get an immediate virtual electron card and fund it via a debit card. However, I think I remember reading around these boards that the only card Ryanair don't charge fees on from Jan 10, is a Mastercard pre paid card. If this is the case, then it's entropay to the rescue again as they also offer a prepaid Mastercard. It will take a few days to arrive though.

    Visa electron is not free anymore so entropay is a waste of time and the mastercard is a mastercard debit I think there are issues with those on the site.

    try

    www.fairfx.com or www.neteller.com

    neteller is the best but is more fiddly to set up. scanning id etc.
  • I would suggest that if you don't want to pay their excruciating charges, don't use Ryanair. Personally, I wouldn't use them if they were the last airline flying.

    There are other budget airlines.

    Not much use though if Ryanair are the only budget airline flying the route!

    Just been on Ryanair website and it confirms that prepaid Mastercard is free. So Entropay is a valid alternative, you would just need to wait for the card to arrive.

  • If Ryanair want to sell their own credit card,I would think their best bet would be to drop the charges when using it.
