racedo,

I am well aware on the company to which you refer, but that would put us both well beyond the rmit of pprune!

My point was that all pre-paid Mastercards have fees, unlike current accounts with debit cards. You are right in pointing out the other benefits, but the fee still applies. This means that the card handling fee is unavoidable, not discretionary. For those reasons, consumer authorities are right to step in.

Of course people are free to choose to fly with any airline they want - I think Ryanair on the whole are an immense benefit to consumers. But they are also not always the best value - by the time you add all their extras and then bring in the additional costs of using out-of-the-way airports.
