Cian, what difference does that make? I will still be sitting in an EI aircraft for which they will charge, so does it matter if i purchase the ticket directly from them or through a web travel agent?
What does annoy me is that in the last 30 minutes or so, I tried making bookings through these agents, of the 3 that i picked, none of them charged me for baggage, nor gave me the opportunity to increase the baggage allowance. So I would expect to get charged as i tried to check in. Would you consider this acceptable or unfair?
As this thread is about Dublin airport rather than EI, I'm just giving my reasons why I attempt to pick ANY other airline before EI.
