    I wouldn't fly Ryanair anyway. I have principles.

    Your a moneysaver, you're not supposed to have principles.

    Are you Chilean by any chance Pablo? I had a most enjoyable stay there a few years ago. I even visited your old home in Valparaíso.

    How can you posibly think 1p would be inclusive of taxes?


    For exactly the same reason that their curretn offer states 'all taxes and charges included' on their £10 flights.

    an honest answer here please.

    A free flight to Dublin with Ryanair or a £120 flight with BA.

    Which would you choose?

    Don't think your friends could have got tickets in last weeks offer to fly before 1 June, which was the start of the travel period for the offer, if I remember correctly. I have got the receipt for my booking and it shows "0.01 GBP" fare and all other charges/taxes as "0.00 GBP".

    ... and when Dublin became part of the UK...
    UK to Ireland is a "domestic" flight as they are part of the same Common Travel Area. It's like flying from Italy to Germany which is a "domestic" flight becaeu both are part of Schengen.

    "Domestic" in this case means "no immigration checks"

    Yes that's correct and it also stated that the flights must be booked at least 14 days in advance

    Not yet. Im waiting for him to get back to me with some more information.

    He is flying to Milan on Monday and I am supposed to be going the following Monday, both on the 1p flights.

    I have also recieved the email that states total cost 4p (return ofr 2 people) and £0.00 tax.

    As soon as I get any more information I will let you know.

    I booked one and going to Eindhoven and now worried about the government tax? I thought it was 1p and thats it.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    Don't worry jinkssick,

    As I said earlier, there is no way they are going to try to bill you for taxes at the airport. They just don't have the facilities (or the right!) to do it x
