    I thought Ryanair did not always honour tickets bought via screen scapers?
    This has been through the courts in several countries since 2008. The RyanAir T&C state that they can cancel tickets not booked directly through their website. The full Terms of Use can be found here - para 2 applies in this case.

    There was alot of hoo-ha in the press over the years. Eg here

    If the confirmation number comes through and you log on to RA and print your boarding passes how can they cancel them when they have been printed from their own site?
    They would look exactly the same as if bought from them.

    A lot of the "who ha" was about travel agents buying RA seats in bulk and selling them on at inflated prices because there would be no seats left to book.
    Would TR sell seats illegally?

    Even if you do this you still have to endure flying with Ryanair
  • 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!


    Most pre-paid cards charge you each time you use them or top them up.
    Also, if you need to buy flights in a hurry before a deal expires, but don't have enough funds on your pre-paid card, you can expect to wait anything upto 5 days before funds are available. Not ideal.

    Great find OP and a great alternative to pre-paid cards.

    Funds transfer to Fairfx within minutes. Just done a transfer to pay for flights and it was less than 5 mins probably nearer to 2.
  • had a look as i have just booked flights with ryanair but couldn't see an option for priority boarding (i know it is often a waste of money but sometimes it works)...

    Priority Boarding is in the section where you put your name in after buying.
