Thanks for the advice David - may well look at getting the bus to the train and then on to the City.
I could of course opted for a flight with another carrier and would maybe not have fallen foul of this but there again, the overall fare, even with the baggage charge and all the other 'extras' is still a damn good deal. At the end of the day, as I see it, all I want to do is get there cheaply as it's just a short business hop. To be honest, i've never had an issue with Ryan air, provided you expect the fare to go up when you get to the checkout. It's still great value though and in the future i'll be more careful with my checking of the destination. My own fault really as I know all of this already!
