    Ah, but Hoseman, I and many other clued-up people wouldn't have to pay this charge - 'cos we travel light and do on-line check-in so we don't 'turn up for check-in', we just go straight to the boarding gate. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    My bad regarding the charges.

    I knew i should have checked with Moneysavingexpert b4 booking and Im usually good like that but I didnt on this occasion. The loo comment made me laugh. :rotfl:

    I booked with them as they were the cheapest option in the end but I wasnt happy about what I saw as their deliberate ploy to mislead and get the customer as far down the booking process as possible before throwing in the charges.
  • Just think if you had booking a week ago it would have cost you £20 so at £19 you got a bargain :)

    All charges are clearly listed here...

    You can find the above on the front page of Ryan Air's website.

    I think the point is to get the complaining in perspective.

    Yes, they are the cheapest airline. But it is very annoying to not know the price you will pay without pretty much going through the whole booking process.
    And it is annoying to have to pay for services that you cannot do without (e.g. those with young children cannot get the free flights).

    I think your point about not knowing the price until towards the end of the booking process is a fair point to make, Jimmy.

    Can't comment on your second point as MY 'baby' goes into the cattery. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    If you always book a lot of seats when they are free and then fail to turn up at the airport? (Either some or all of your party fail to turn up)
  • Does anyone know when Ryan Air will release flights for Dec 2009/Jan 2010?

    I don't know, but that sounds to me like one of the most environmentally unfriendly things an individual could do!

    Returned yesterday from 3 days in Paris. £16.04 return for myself and OH. Yes Beauvais airport is a bit out from central Paris but the transport from the airport into central Paris is 13euro each way. In all had a great holiday and thanks to Ryanair the money saved on flights was put to good use towards expensive costs in Paris.
    Flew from Glasgow Prestwick and everyone was being asked to place there hand luggage on scales and numerous people over the limit and complaining, stick to the guidance on website.
