The Ryanair pre-paid card is another scam. Many people only take one foreign holiday a year, and are going to be charged the "inactivity fee" for six months of that year. I live near Stansted and use Ryan 4/5 times a year, but a few months ago I thought I would try SAS out of Heathrow. Purple parking don't charge all that much and when you allow 4x£6 booking fee, 4x£10 priority boarding (my wife and I like to sit together, being old romantics) plus whatever he charges now for check-in, it's about the same price, and considerably less if I want to take a suitcase. I might make it a regular route.
