Ryan Air: 2 x £12.99 = £25.99??

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.

If you hate Ryanair and their owner that much why do you still fly with them,vote with your feet and use some other company or you one of these people who twist all day but still realise that a cheap fare is still a cheap fare:rotfl:

Well you may have the luxury of limitless cash but some of us have little choice BUT to take the cheapest on offer, almost regardless of whatever other considerations apply... so kindly resist the easy sarcasm. What I'm saying is that the matter raised by the OP is just another illustration, if any were needed, of Ryanair pursuing every half-legal method it can dream up to screw money out of people.

Whether this particular thing is 'systematic' is open to debate for the moment... but if the great travelling public were to be asked 'which airline do you think might be the first to go for a ploy like this?', I can sort of guess which one they'd plump for, can't you..?

In principal I'm with the OP on this one.

Back in the day I worked p/t for a big supermarket chain and noticed that my monthly wage was down 25p or so. Which I did complain about, but the majority of people probably wouldn't have noticed . . .it did get me wondering how much the company would be 'saving' if they did this to everyone.

Furthermore - you rich folks on here have probably never used the bus, but I can tell you that the drivers don't just wave you on if you're even just 1p short of your fare.

However, it has been explained to the OP, umpteen times, that Ryan Air is based in Ireland, uses the Euro, so the price via currency exchange has been rounded up.

If three or four Ryanair flyers had come forward and posted a similar experience while this thread had been live I'd agree.

As it stands, it's an isolated case which suggests nothing deliberate is in place to harm passengers financially in this way.

You get what you pay for. We could get away on holidays more often if we stayed in cheaper hotels but we don't want to so we settle for fewer and better trips. At the end of the day it's a personal choice.
