Who could resist!?
What I sadly discovered is that the .01cent fare is not available ex Dublin!
Shucks.
What WAS available was a return fare of 168 euro.
Take heart though - Aer Lingus was more expensive at 175 euro - a whopping 7 euro extra.
However, imagine my surprise when I proceeded to make a booking - the
Ryanair price shot up by 30 euro when I checked in a bag and took their (mandatory) insurance!
The Aer Lingus price for check in bag was 10 euro.
Oh dear - the total prices are suddenly a bit different!
Ryanair - 198 euro
Aer Lingus - 185 euro.
Ryanair is thus a whopping 13 euro more expensive than Aer Lingus, and for a second rate "**** off if you don't like it" service too!!
I'm flying Aer Lingus.
Don't be mugged folks....Ryanair is the ripoff carrier.
Check the rates.

Now, according to a report in the Sunday Times, Ryanair are being accused of using faulty baggage scales at Girona. They have a strict 15kg limit on hold baggage, and some SLF are claiming that their 14kg bags are coming up as 17kg on their scales, and they get charged extra.

Ryanair denies it, obviously - that would be fraud and subject to criminal charges. But how much does two bottles of Sangria weigh, eh? I expect to see a bit of scale calibration to go on, regardless. Yes, scales need to be tested regularly, and calibrated if necessary, if money changes hands based on the reading...

Ryanair dont own or run/service the baggage scales
so I would guess the agents should be in trouble not the Airline,
or once again is the media picking on Ryanair, would we be saying
the same if the story was about a flag carrier.

Hmm. I don't think it's quite that simple, since it's Ryanair headquarters who are taking in the money, not a 3rd party. It's a charge for carrying the bags on the Ryanair plane, not for ground handling.
IMHO, regardless of who runs the scales, or whether or not this is actually happening, Ryanair need to keep the scales accurate and fair, and be seen doing so. Blaming a 3rd party is not going to cut it when they may be making money off the back of any errors.

That would be the (mandatory) insurance that you can remove by clicking on the drop down menu
By the way, the penalty for fraud in weights and measures is 5000stg and/or 6 months in prison.
O'Leary better pack his overnight bag again.

The micko method is to do whatever he wants, then rely on the lawyers to sort out whatever sanctions come his way. This strategy explains why many Irish law firms have refused to further represent ryr - his refusal to listen to their advice and to constantly break laws has made their position untenable.
But hey, what's a little illegality when his marketing department tells you you're paying only 1c (even when you're obviously not)?

I see the Ryanair bashers are back in full force
It appears facts are in no way admissible if they dare to suggest anything other than glorious perfection and ryr and micko.
Using the truth as an argument doesn't make one a "basher", merely a realist!

It's not just at Girona. Last year I flew from Malaga to Prestwick via Stansted with Easyjet and Ryanair. At Malaga my small suitcase weighed 17kg but at Stansted it weighed only 14kg!! My advice to anyone who gets charged for overweight luggage is to get it weighed more than once. I don't know what the law is in Spain but in the UK the scales will have to be checked regularly.
