Ryan Air: 2 x £12.99 = £25.99??

I thought I’d check this at the end of the day, some people being constructive thanks.

Sad keyboard warriors have bullied away with their sad, witless or nasty comments. I’m sure it helped them with their anger today.

The point I was making is that when it is done 100million times a year (Ryan Air carries more than this) then they are making over £1m by such a sharp practice. So many sad people just wanted to attack the 1p margin. You think I don’t appreciate that a single air fare if £12.99 is fantastic value?

I made a big mistake today posting on here, some tried to help, others - well, you are very sad people. Wake up tomorrow and continue your self serving carousel.

I’m out.

No, because it is only 0.5p per ticket, therefore only £50m extra.

Cheap shot trying to get a laugh.

It was said for a laugh,that said it was not a cheap shot,what was a cheap shot was someone complaining about loosing 1p on two bargain flights,make your own mind up.

On a similar theme.

Yesterday, I stopped off for fuel for my car and the local Shell garage had unleaded advertised for £114.9p per litre.

I put in 20 litres which should have come to £2299.8p but they had the cheek to charge me £30.
I tried to get them to either give me 0.2p in change or to allow me to take an equivalent amount of fuel but they just laughed.

Shell must be serving 10s of millions of customers each year so these fractions of a penny will soon add up to a nice tidy sum.

The problem there is that YOU put it in, so you must have gone slightly over 20 ltrs.

You're learning fast for someone unfamiliar with message boards. That's what posters always write when nobody agrees with them. :T

This reminds me of the story about US Coke vending machines that for decades charged $1. Then a price rise to $1.10 was made. To avoid the change problem the machines would still charge $1 but every 11th vend would just take the money and not vend, to achieve the price rise. The scheme was clearly posted on machines and apparently was accepted by consumers for a long time.

Never heard that one before.

I would not be happy being the 11th person.

No more effort here for sure.
I often look at MSE General site and find it useful.
Today I have discovered that there are supportive people on the forum, sadly also too many judgemental pontificating comments.
To those who tried to help, thank you for that.
To those who just wished to judge ..... enjoy banging away on your keyboards.

OP, ignore the carping.

I think your posting can be taken more generally as a pointer to Ryanair morals or lack thereof. On experience of Ryanair to date, I personally would not at all put it past O'Leary and Co. to have thought this one up as a quick way of making another million out of their clientele.

Presumably the thought is: who's going to complain about a penny? We're safe.

Once again, multi-nationals get away with what your friendly neighbourhood market stall holder would be taken to court for.

Other than one isolated case, there's no evidence that this is in anyway systematic.

I cant imagine any market traders being taken to court by trading standards for occasionally short changing anyone by a penny.
Reason being, most normal people wouldn't care.
