MSE News: Ryanair and BMI Baby slap extra Spanish tax on flyersid
Comments

Sorry to butt in but has anybody actually been charged this extra yet ?????
I have about 10 flights booked with Ryanair in the next 10 weeks or so.
First one is next week......no money been taken yet.....
None taken on a Ryanair from PMI last week but my next Spanish Ryanair isn't for a while but I booked PMI > MRS (MP2) yesterday and it was a "no taxes" - I realise there are taxes but RA choosing not to charge any on that flight.0 -
I am saying that it is not for people on here to determine whether or not this additional charge will impact on an individual's finances.So you think that if an unexpected 10 euro/pp added expense ruins a holiday for someone, then they should go anyway? That's fine, we'll have to agree to disagree about that though I think people like that are unlikely to ever have a holiday that isn't ruined.0 -

Which nobody did. You insist on arguing a point that nobody disputed which shows that you still have not understood Budgetflyer's original claim nor my attempts to clarify it. Of course there are people for whom 10 euros is a lot of money, that's not the issue. The issue is whether or not it's a good idea for such people to travel abroad on holiday. I say it isn't, since you can easily encounter unexpected expenses of much more than 10 euros. If you disagree with that, that's fine.0 -

If you disagree with this, don't reply until you've re-read the post at least 10 times and still disagree...
NO-ONE said that this can't impact on someone's finances.
People said that IF it did impact so much that it "ruined" the holiday (NOTE: "if" means that the stated event can and might happen) then it isn't wise to be going on the holiday in the first place as so much more can easily go wrong than that. Not that they should be forbidden, not that they should be arrested or have their passports confiscated, just that it isn't wise...0 -

The "issue" as you put it, is, that it is not for people on here to decide whether an additional 10 euros is going to affect an individual. Clearly we do not agree on the "issue". So please, let us leave it at that.0 -

Thank you! That was exactly the point. Was starting to think I wasn't explaining it properly but at least somebody got it

Yes, that's the issue you are debating with yourself and nobody else. If it matters, I actually do agree with you on it.0 -

I don't need to read it 10 times; once was adequate and I've said earlier that although I understand what was written, I don't concur with it. It's meaning has not changed for me. I repeat yet again, that it is not for us on here to nanny a persons decision to take a holiday.
It's quite simple really; I dont agree with that view. I don't have to agree with someone elses view and that's the end of it.0 -

Has nothing to do with nannying. It's simply sound advice that you shouldn't travel abroad if you don't have at least some buffer in your economy to allow for unexpected expenses. I don't really understand how anyone can reasonably disagree with this.0 -
