maybe I let off too much. It does make feel person better sometimes.

I don't mind if RYR announces they won't tolerate screenscrapers and do some steps towards it, but
I DO FEEL STRONGLY AGAINST CANCELLING (EVEN THOUGH REFUNDING original cost) SOMEONE'S BOOKING JUST BECAUSE REAL PERSON "AGENT" (business or not) WAS USED (IE ANOTHER NAME ON THE CARD).
Besides, if I use my UK debit card for EUR booking with RYR as it's out of Dublin or elsewhere in Europe

Yeah. We all know we won't start some grass root movement that would be pan-European. Yakka yakka. Png into wind etc. Doesn't mean there should be complete silence.

I'd have booked good deal on the best (BTS-DUB) route available for friend already if I didn't spot this thread. Makes me think twice 'what if'.

Refunding, well, OK. But people will face extra cost anyway. Not to mention being off.

I should have a look at their TCs. Guess it's already amended.
Some posters have their opinion in line with mine. Cancelling properly bought ticket just like that. It's obvious RYR do it all for their own profit making reasons, but their 'hits' are not justifiable.

How's person that doens't have suitable card or access to one, going to make a booking? Only with friend/family member/friendly agent.
It's not about the usuring charges on the phone - you'd still need card to pay with.

Looks like I'd be saved as friend seems to have Visa Electron that has finally been made workable online over past year or two in Slovakia.

I can tell you, there are many folks in central or Eastern (in UK view) Europe that don't have the knowledge and some the right cards to book themselves.

If MOL hurts people and doesn't target fare search engine websites, it's despicable.

As for 15kg vs 20/23, well, it's airline's own thing as long as it's not legacy carrier allowing too heavy when there's connecting flight with another carriers that might have another limits due to health and safety.

I just pointed out one of many sleazy approaches.

Unless going to Spain for longer, I'll try to avoid hold luggage as it's easier without it, faster and cheaper with RYR. Saying hello to family or paperwork across Europe to do. I also do try to adjust my outbound and inbound legs according to my needs, thus avoiding RYR on one of the legs usually :-D
