    Can someone confirm for me.

    The 1p is not the total costs. On the 1p flight what is the total minimum costs after including taxes, surcharges, airport security charges, fuel surcharges etc etc. I bet more than 1p comes off your credit card ?

    Ryanair had a promotion earlier this year where they actually offered flights for 1p. If you chose to take hand luggage only and paid with an Electron card, as well as declining their insurance and all the other optional stuff, the flight really did only cost 1p.

    People are their own worse enemy!

    YOU CANNOT BOOK A FLIGHT WITH RYANAIR without agreeing that you`ve READ their terms and conditions.

    It`s absolutely impossible to buy a ticket,they will NOT let you.

    Even when you click the "buy" button,they still will not let you go ahead until you click the final pop-up warning box to say that you`re sure you want to buy it.

    I fail to see how any company in the world can be fairer than that.

    The truth of the matter is,people can`t be bothered to read the T&C`s and then start yelling when THEIR mistakes back-fire on them.
    You clearly haven't booked with Ryanair recently as otherwise you would know that the T&C box appears a LONG time before anything resembling a final price and you then press a button marked "confirm flights" rather than a "buy" button

    Perhaps it's one of the changes that Ryanair keep making to their website to trap the unwary - or cocky?

    So, is there something built into the website which refuses to let potential customers log off when they realise there are extra charges then? rolleyes.gif If people object that much then my suggestion would be to press the cancel button and book with another airline??? confused-smiley-013.gif The extra charges are VERY clear once you start the booking process and BEFORE you are committed to buying the tickets!
    So you don't deny that Ryanair try to chisel money out of people or that they frequently alter the booking method to confuse gullible and fool the cocky.

    Some of the charges they add are very subtle (eg the priority boarding/online checkin charge when you select zero checked bags they had before the latest revision in the booking process) so that the beginners - or people who are so clever that they think they know the system - don't notice them or assume that they can't be removed.

    As to why they are so popular - if you repeat a lie often enough then people believe it's true - the lie here being that you'll get a cheap flight with Ryanair.

    You might, but you need your wits about you at every step of the booking process
  • It can be cheap if you want it to.! use the MSE FLIGHTCHECKER, be flexible on days to fly ands be aware you are booking with a budget airline who are going to RATTLE YOU for every devient of the basic flight cost.
    Its all down to choice really
    Choose SERVICE
    choose PRICE
    Choose either but be aware of YOUR CHOICE.
    To be honest, anyone who isnt aware of RYANAIRS policies b4 they hit the PAY BUTTON, is either gullible, or stupid
  • Be aware if you're taking hand luggage only, that your liquids must fit into one clear 8 x 8 inch bag, and no container can have a greater volume than 100ml.

    Actually they had two 1p sales this year and I paid with an ordinary Visa debit card the grand sum of 2p,taking hand luggage only.

    The last Ryanair flight I booked was a week ago.

    The point I was making is you can`t buy a ticket without agreeing to their T&C`s.
    Whether people take the trouble to read them is up to them but it`s no use complaining later saying "I thought this or I thought that" when I booked.

    No one`s twisting anyone`s arm to fly with Ryanair but at their bargain fares you`d be daft not to.

    They've actually had 3... and I'm expected another one to appear before the year is out for February, March, April dates.

    Btw.. I LOVE Ryanair.

    I stand corrected and I hope you are right about another one on it`s way shortly,but of course the Ryanair "knockers" won`t be interested in a bargain 1p flight
    will they?





    They`ll be first in the queue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
