    The 1p flights are fantastic amd I don't think anyone has any cause for complaint regarding that.... who else can you fly with to various locations for 1 p? It costs me more than that to look online and check flight prices lol!

    On another note, the only downside of Ryanair is there lack of customer service I've experienced.

    I'm not sure if they've changed their T&C's now but I travelled to glasgow about 3 months ago, and on there terms it said Valid Identification is required on domestic flights, it then listed Driving Licenses as one of these.

    I got to Stansted 3 hours pre flight, queued like everyone else, got to the front of queue to be told they don't accept driving licences and was refused entry to plane.
    I had my passport on me also but they said it doesn't matter now.

    I had to pay out £140 for the next flight and was FUMING as you can imagine, especially when I was told by one of the ryanair staff surrounded by about 8 other members of staff that I should have "paid more attention to the rules"...

    Anyway just felt like I should pre warn people on that side of things

    And I'm still looking forward to the 1p flights hey maybe if I book 1400 flights I can make my money back somehow ha ha

    K :)

    The advertisment for the 1p flights has been replaced with an ad for £10 flights for some reason. :confused:

    I don't think it has, the ad for the 1p flights is due tomorrow, the £10 flights is the current offer.

    You shown them your passport and they refused you entry onto the aircraft?

    I'm afraid you'll have to work harder than that - £140 is the equivelant of 14000 flights!:D

    Yes because when checking in online you have to enter the identification number which in this case was my driving license. Even though it said they accepted it.

    Think away there really wasn't, simple fact was the T&C's said driving license can be used and the people taking tickets said they didn't accept them for web checkins (which was not mentioned in T&C's) I even had my mum print them off to make sure.
