edeams prime account
Does anybody know how to cancel an edreams subcription? Last month I realised that edreams have been taking £9.99 of my credit card every month and I have not authorised any payments.

Ryanair and printed boarding passes
Can anyone tell me unequivocally whether they no longer allow customers to print boarding passes? This seems draconian (if typical). I have seen it stated that they are only stopping the facility for customers to ask THEM (Ryanair staff) to print boarding passes at the airport.

Recover costs from credit card company for cancelled trip to Middle East
Nationwide says "If you are unable to get a refund or reschedule your trip, you may be able to make a claim for cancellation costs.
