Malaga, Palma and the already anounced Alicante are really going to hurt GSM, plus the EZY flights to ALC & PMI

They seen to be going after EZY & Jet2 with Krakow and Pisa respectively. Good to see them flying to BOH as it may encourage BE to drop there fares a bit on the SOU flights as they have hiked since the buyout of BA Connect.

Does anyone know why Ryanair have suddenly stopped accepting Visa Electon cards? I only use my Visa Electron card for buying flights as they do not charge a booking fee. I booked flights 2 days ago through their site with no problems. Now I keep getting the message saying we cannot currently accept SOLO cards even though it is an electron. Is this strange considering this is the only card that does not include a booking fee??? Trying to book 7 flights to DUB would cost 0.14 return inc all taxes and charges using an Electron card, if you pay by VISA it would be Ģ42.14! I will just leave it. Before it is asked, I know there is nothing wrong with my card LOL.

Jack E. I've had similar problem trying to use a Vias Direct debit card in the past. Not accepted, but saying it was an ordinary Visa card rewarded me with the delight of a full booking fee. Trying to contact RYR about this scam is like trying to find light in a black hole. Charging a fee for each ticket/sector is a scam as the credit card charge is per transaction. It's a hidden tax.

Meanwhile; if a pilot endangered the airline's profits and scraped an a/c in the way this website has crashed I know the outcome. Wonder who's head is gravitating towards the guillotine over this? If at all. I assume it is out sourced. The sight of MOL spitting ball bearings at someone he can not fire would make the best TV ever.

I think they do not bother to accept the payments for 1-penny flights if you don't give them a chance to earn at all. I bought a flight for 20 euros - no problem. Then I tried to buy a return flight for 0,02 euros (no luggage, no insurance, nothing) - the Visa Electron card could not be accepted. To some extent one can understand it; 1-penny flight - it really is a kind of nonsense.

Thanks for your replies. I see what your saying, it is just so frustrating. I bet if I go to book a flight for Ģ10 +++ then there will be no problems. I guess I'm not the only one who can't seem to book these penny flights with an Electron card.

also showing BOH-MAD and BOH-SNN which are both currently inactive routes.

Read into that what you will, could just be legacy settings left over from the old EPOS system or about to be reintroduced as summer destinations?

not sure about the validity of these routes to be honest. I reckon some are just left over from the old engine. E.G Dub - ATH & LPL - ATH. These are the two routes which were flown for last years champions league final.

Whatever about the others, I think it's more likely the Dublin & Liverpool routes to Athens are appearing due to the special flights they put on from both airports for the Champions League Final last year rather than being imminent new route announcements.

Friedrichshafen - Pisa, which also appears on the booking engine, was opertated last summer for a short time with rather limited success.
I donīt think they will try again!

Ork-malta

An interesting choice, probably operated by the based 738 I'd imagine.

It really appears to be the mix of some old discontinued and brand new yet undisclosed routes. That's why I'd rather concentrate on those airports where you can see many "all-new" routes, the most interesting one being Brussels-Charleroi.

Don't know if this is all part of the problem with the "new" website, but was interested in trying to get some of the Ģ10 inc taxes seats on the new edi-agp service as promoted on the news page but doesn't look as if these services have been added yet. They don't appear in the timetable or the booking engine.

Has the Dublin - Shannon service ended all of a sudden ? Have I missed something ?

Ryanair managed to axe the route quietly on February 4th without most of the local media even noticing. The announcement was hidden in an announcement for a new route to Palma. From what I heard loads rarely if ever went above the 50-60 range. Basically the 738 was too big for the route.

come on ryanair sort it out

i have the utmost respect for ryanair

but

still not able to book new edinburgh flights on the website, unless i go behind the scenes - majority of people dont know how to do that so they are certainly missing thousands of bookings related to the EDI base announcement

'A doctor is threatening to take budget airline Ryanair to court for allegedly throwing him off a flight for talking during the safety briefing'. SkyNews

Is this guy being for real? I don't mind if people do not listen to the demo, but what I care about is people who talk and put off other passengers. Well done to the crew for telling him then offloading him

As someone who works for Ryanair, we do feel very stong about safety, safety comes first everytime no matter what some of the press may think.
