Ryan Air - Admin Fee

Hi

Just booked 2 seats on a Ryan Air flight and to avoid paying their admin charges I booked through Travel Republic.

So I got the exact same flight offer - (£6.00 each way for 2 people return) for £24.00!!!

It would have cost £44.00 (£5.00 per person, per flight, admin fee) if I had booked directly through Ryan air. I just had to pay a debit card charge of 30p to travel republic.


Hope this helps someone :)

Bring on the sunshine lol :j:beer:

    Great tip but what happens about your tickets.
    Do TR just send you a confirmation number by email and you log on to RA and print your tickets as normal.

  • I thought Ryanair did not always honour tickets bought via screen scapers?
  • As a previous poster stated, get yourself a pre-paid mastercard (loads on the market to choose from) and save £5 each way per person with Mr O'Leary's enterprise. Gives you a nice warm feeling to get one over on that creature. No credit check, you can't go into debt etc etc. A no-brainer if you travel Ryanair regularly!
