It's only that price if you have hand luggage only, otherwise it's £30 extra per person. Fair enough you might say.
THEN at the checkout, it's a fuckin £20 handling fee to use your card.
Once you throw the hotel into the equation it's not that cheap really.
Did you not notice that you were on ryanair.com?

You can buy a car without the finance if you want.
You cant buy the plane ticket without the tax and charges.

Indeed. But as said by Brett, you don't pay extra per person if you only have hand luggage. The card fee thing... Well, I don't know of any site that actually mentions a card fee until buying something. And if the flight itself (before expenses) wasn't 1p, it would be false advertisement.

It how Ryanair operate though. It's a well known fact that they charge for everything, and a lot of people moan. What makes least sense is despite the haters they're still the most popular carrier in Europe.

I didnt say it was false advertisement, I just said it wasnt a 1p flight as you have no option by to pay more than that.

Wow, this thread went off topic.
Notice what on ryanair.com ed? I was on ryanair.com. Don't know what you're getting at. The handling fees etc are the stinger at the end when it comes to pay. Doesn't matter.

The interesting thing is, the only card that doesn't have a handling fee is a little kids bloody Visa Electron. I used to have one of them years ago and kicked off with Barclays because no where online used to accept it.

Thats because its a debit card (I think) so the charges for using one will be less to RyanAir than a credit card.

From the looks of it, even a Visa debit card option carries a handling fee too, but I know what you're getting at with the credit card thing costing them money.

TBH they'll all cost them, but the creditcards are something like a 2.5% fee (I'll have to check what ours are as they'll be similar).
