just booked for 2 nights in dublin september 4p not charged for card

The card charging seems to be erratic. I've booked flights to La Rochelle (5 people, in July), Milan (2 people, in October) and Turin (3 people, in October), all on my maestro card. I was charged £7 (70p*2*5) for the La Rochelle trip, and it came up on the confirmation page and the email. Nothing came up on the Milan or Turin journeys, despite them telling me they would charge 70p each way. Has anyone managed to figure out a pattern behind this random not charging? I'm still waiting for the details to appear on my online banking, but so far it seems they haven't charged me which is more than a little odd for Ryanair...

Could someone help... i'm trying to get a friend over here for a weekend... Dublin - London is expensive But London - Dublin is 2p

So.... if I book London - Dublin (2 day trips one on a thursday and one on a monday).

Would they be able to ignore the London flight and just get on the Dublin one outgoing and then use the London to Dublin flight on Return?

Or is your booking cancelled if you don't turn up for outgoing flight?
:S

I can't say for sure on Ryanair, but easyjet definitely cancel your return flight if you don't take the outgoing, so I'd be surprised if that worked.

Thanks In guess it was worth asking though

For those interested i just called ryanair and you can book as I said above... 2 day trips and not using the outbound flight etc...

Means people can travel from Dublin to London for cheap too

Thanks OP, have just managed to book flights from Bristol to Dublin for June and October at 12p at time, usually end up paying a whole lot more even with cheapy flights, kids will be over the moon to see their cousins in a couple of weeks, not sure how excited bil will be to be putting the 6 of us up!

I have children going with me to Dublin who are all under 16. Am I right in saying that you do not need any passports for them?

I don't think you are right northerngeezer - Dublin is still an international flight, and we aren't part of the more relaxed European border laws yet. I'm pretty sure everyone who travels needs a passport, or at the very least to be on your passport. Read the details on the Ryanair website, but in terms of border control there's no difference going to Dublin than any other EU city - all passengers need a passport.

You don't need a passport for Dublin (though I suspect it is the preferred option) as Ireland and the UK are both part of the Common Travel Area, but you will still need photo id for everyone travelling.
If it helps, here is a link to the Foreign and Commonweath Office website, which give full information on travel requirements.
