Tip for anyone who books flights on Ryanair

Post by blurred » Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:12 pm

To avoid the horrible 'card fee' that they charge when booking your flight.

Buy vouchers for yourself - they don't charge the card fee when buying these - then use the vouchers to pay for the flight you intend to book.

Credit-crunch-tastic, I say.

Good day, all

(Not Ryanair, but Easyjet)

Try not to sit behind someone with a guitar across their lap, who also happens to be a forward for the Newcastle Falcons. Two hours of pain. True story.

If you're traveling with a wheelchair, make sure it's an inflatable one.

Leave your pet Iguana at home. They won't let you board the plane with it.

If you have any Visa Electron cards knocking about, use it to book with Ryanair. Its free to use, no booking charge, nada fees etc

Probably some senile 80 year old, who had to go on Watchdog last week, gobsmacked that she had to give £20k across to claim her winnings and hasn't seen or heard since
