We are trying to book a wknd in Dublin with flights under £10 each BUT they want £10 per person card fee!! DISGUSTING RIP-OFF. despite frantic efforts, no such joy finding anyone with an electron! apparantly you cannot even get them with new accounts anymore.
Odd how Ryanair are even charging their own card customers this fee too!

So a £10 flight to Dublin is ok but £20 is too much Take Edinburghs advice and get an Entropay account set up.

Sign up for Entropay and use that, 50p to transfer £10 into the account from your debit card.

How do you use this to avoid the payment handling fee?

EDIT - Scrub that - just signed up for Entropay and used it to avoid the handling fee. Edinburgh to Dublin return for £10 total!!

*cough*

The use of DISGUSTING RIP OFF illustrates your post perfectly, I feel.

Yesterday I followed the usual pattern in finding the cheapest flights - move the going out date a couple of days and the same for the return. I've got the hang of this now I thought and although I knew the going out flight would not really be free as indicated and the return flight is bound to be more than the £2.79 quoted but I was shocked when the final bill came to £100.00! In previous years I've paid about £30 for similar offers.
This year's charge was made up as follows - out going flight £0.00, return flight £2.79, taxes fees and charges £52.27, check in fee £10.00, one check in suitcase £20.00, priority boarding £6.00, handling fee £10.00. It's a complete waste of time moving the travel dates to save a couple of quid when the real cost is in all the add ons. I don't have any choice but to fly Ryanair to Rodez. I don't mind flying by bus when its cheap but not for this sort of money. What we want is an airline thats upfront, striaghtforward and honest. Not a misleading catchpenny. To cover myself legally I better say that I'm not referring to Ryanair in my last two comments unless Ryanair think they fit one of the categories?

This might help you come to terms that you haven't actually been subject to DISGUSTING RIPOFF SCAM CHARGES - in fact, 36 pounds could easily be avoided.

Ryanair actually are honest, straightforward and upfront. All their charges are listed on the website, all their charges can be avoided - it's simply up to you.

rogercr,
Our of interest, how much would Air France have charged you for the same/similar journey via Paris? I've just entered a couple of dates and they came up with costs of between £250 and £300 making Ryanair's £65 (which is what it could be) a bargain.

How are you suggesting they avoid £36 of this?

Take hand luggage only. Miss out priority boarding and use an Electron card to pay.
