Stansted Express

Does anyone know if I can book the Stansted Express through the Easyjet website, even though I'm actually flying Ryanair?

The problem is that my card got declined the first time I tried to pay for the tickets and now their website won't accept my booking reference. I phoned Ryanair, and their response was essentially, "get lost." So, as usual, very helpful in trying to please their customers.

    I don't think you have to enter any reservation number on the Easy Jet site so I would guess that it is OK to buy the ticket from them even though you are flying with the opposition. The saving isn't as good, however, a return ticket is £25.90 as opposed to £24 on the Ryanair site. The cost on the actual Stansted Express site is £26.70 so it is an 80p saving by booking through the Easyjet site. I'm also going to PM you with another idea...

    Actually I'l be surprised if you can't enter any RANDOM sequence to get the website to work. ;)

    Well it worked for me! Just enter something like TS54QD or any other six figure alpha numeric combination and as long as it hasn't been used by anyone before it should work. Of course some poor sod who is innocently travelling by Ryanair might find his code has been inadvertently used by someone else but I reckon the chances are one in several billion. :D
