RyanAir BS: admin fee of £6/€6 per person/per sector

(You act like it's an arduous chore to fill out the booking form!).

The RyanAir booking form is terrible:

1. No I don't want your damn overpriced insurance — knowing how cheap they are, they'll fight with you about every penny.

2. Why do I have to go somewhere else to some obscure part of the site to know if I will be charged this fee or not? It isn't even linked to from where it says "Excluding admin fee of £6/€6 per person/per sector (if applicable)".

3. No, I don't want your crappy suitcases.

4. Yes, I'm sure I don't want your crappy insurance.

5. No, I don't want your terrible deal on car-rental.

In any case, it is undeniable that RyanAir is trying to scam people with the £6 fee. It is not mentioned in the final price, you only see if it's taken or not after you put in your credit-card details. FRAUD!

If you are arguing otherwise, you're likely on RyanAir's payroll, or just like paying more, or wasting your time getting a crappy credit card you can't use for anything else.

I've worked for companies that monitor and take part in forums, some openly as themselves, but most non-openly, pretending to be a regular customer.

So you're not a fan then?

That's not strictly true. The fee is shown when you select your card type, before you've entered your details. The final price you pay is seen before you hit "purchase now"

Ryanair are many things but even MOL ain't stupid enough to run the airline fraudulently!

Unless you select the card type using the keyboard rather than using the mouse. Then it doesn't update the final price.

Always love it when people think that adding words like undeniable to an opinion somehow makes the opinion fact

It didn't for me either. And I tried that a few days ago as well, in different browsers.

It works in Firefox today, but not Safari.

I guess you can call everything opinion.

Not advertising your final price is fraudulent in my mind, you're right, well spotted (pat yourself on the back), but also the eyes of the EU, hence the EU directive.

It is the final price with some cards.

What about this website

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524

Does it make it clear upfront there is a £2.50 charge to tax your vehicle with a credit card online.

Is this a scam, are you going to write to David CamMoron about this.

Sure, why not.

It doesn't cost them £2.50 to accept card. And it's the only way to pay often anyway! I'd pay RyanAir in cash gladly.
