Ryanair 'tax free' flights:

So when Ryanair sell a flight as 'No Taxes and Charges', this usually applies to the lower fares? Seems to be??

Well it has occurred to me that is this a tactic to avoid passengers claiming refunds for taxes and charges and loading these costs into the normal fare or other fees they charge? This would mean that since the largest amount of no shows are the ones that were booked on flights with no taxes and charges, they do not have to pay a refund.

Perhaps this has been discussed before but since it always seems to be on the lowest fares it is a refund avoidance measure.

Ryanair supporters feel free to defend the rationale. MOL would certainly have a strong case to explain that it is another example of FR being lowest fares etc. So no doubt his followers will mirror this.
