  • True enough, but that'll only be because people like me have waited and people like you have meantime been through the hoops :p

    Maybe it takes two to tango, STE? Twelve quid it is then, and you can buy us a couple of beers with it where I go - but don't bank on us returning together as I might find another way :beer:

    ...or you could wait until the prices have fallen and then use this card to save an EXTRA £12.

    lol...2sides, did you think you were the only person to figure out that ryanair flight prices fluctuate?

    i'm not saying what ryanair is doing is right, but if you fly with them regularly as i do and only use this card to buy their flights you are saving a significant amount of money.

    to answer the original question, i couldn't buy online, i sent them an email, they replied with an application form then had to call them to load the cash and it arrived within a week.

    i believe the card may become redundant now if ryanair is forced to abolish these 'admin fees' (in which case the extra cost will just be added onto the cost of the flight so everybody loses)

    Fluctuate, eh? Is that what you call it when a trader doesn't quite know how to make a punter pay through the nose, but then finds they perhaps ought to drop the prices a bit because something they can't quite bring themselves to understand about a self-inflicted demand fluctuation has occurred ? :p

    And if you fly with them regularly as I do, then it doesn't make a blind bit of difference - I buy my returns from the other end now so to speak - using a Mastercard Prepaid of my own choice and incurring no Ryanair Fee :D

    You think Ryanair controls the skies, eh, feeny? There's lots of alternatives. Some of the other airlines are becoming quite good at offering something better than Ryanair for a fair price. Ryanair need to make up their minds if they still want our business or else it is they who lose, not us.
