But they keep banging on about it and never mention it also applies to easy met. They also incorrectly keep stating that it is an available card, when there was 3 UK suppliers and most European countries issue them. Ryan Air is a non-UK multi nation operating company, so only 3 in the UK is not the same as 'unavailable'. Being realistic, it has been possible to get a �1 each way trip with RionAir by dancing around the rules. If he does go down a simplified consolidated fee route, it will be much much more for his cheapest fare. It is horses for courses, if I am going to pay full fare it is unlikely to be Rion Air, for a low cost he is the way to go.

There is that. But I did once pay him about 160 quid for a return flight (to Salzburg, nearest I could get to Muenchen on that occasion for a decent price as it was the Oktoberfest) and as the flight was perfectly fine in both directions I didn't have any complaint about it. Indeed, on no occasion (and I've used them a good few times now) has Ryanair ever done anything to me other than exactly what they said they would (give or take 10 minutes here and there, which is the same as any airline), and generally at a competitive or dirt-cheap price.

For the last Ryanair flight I looked up (Canaries at half term) that would be less than the online fare! -- Roland Perry |
