  • Booked with ryan air last time and been doing short trips for 2pence ( although been finding out the the extra cost on them has been long buses the other end to get to the town in question which has increased the cost and time travelling with costly results if you miss the buses - oslo being one to watch) - this time there are some changes - they charge u if you don't book on line and also for any payment except electron there is a 70p ( switch.debit) or 2.00 i think for credit charge on each flight taken so if you do managed to find a 2p return flight it will cost more to pay than previous.. unless you have a electron card ( where are these from nowdays?)
    Making saving money part of my life.

    Something silly like that have to charge a nominal sum to a card. :confused:

    You can get your 2p back by asking at the check in desk.
