Ryanair & all the other LCCs are exactly that: Low COST Airlines.
That means they keep their costs low.
They are not necessarily Low FARE airlines.
A subtle difference but an important one!

^ Wise observation.

Will be travelling with Ryanair next month to France to visit some friends. 20€ booked a few days ago. 6 months ago it would have costed around 70€. It's really clear when you visit their website that their promotional fares are always for the next couple of months.

To get the best fares you have to flexible with your dates, the times you fly ect. Clearly your not going to get the best fares available if you need to fly Friday, Saturday, Sunday as well as school holidays because this is where they make their money. Mid-week fares are significantly cheaper and that's where you tend to get the special offers. from what someone said about the EDI-LPA prices, id much rather fly direct with Ryanair and pay a bit more than connect in LHR (a complete nightmare at times) and MAD. A great quote from the recently aired BBC panorama programme about Ryanair "you want cheap fares, you have to fly on their terms" something along those lines. quite an accurate statement!

Flew with FR from AGP-DUB on Sunday night.

Discovered on approaching security that my online boarding pass was not valid and that I had to queue up for it to be replaced with an airport issued one. Given that I paid a mandatory €5 for online checkin surely I should be entitled to this money refunded?

Not going to bother, just some food for thought...

They're quitting Prague as they can't make a deal with the Prague authorities.

Noxegon,

Why exactly was your online boarding pass not valid? I'm intrigued!

Apparently they decided not to accept ANY online boarding passes this past weekend. I'm guessing it was to do with the volcanic ash and using empty seats to repatriate passengers. Be that as it may, it would have been nice to find that out *before* turning up at the airport...

lba wasn't accepting them on thursday. After that any on line boarding pass that said airport check in on the top had to be sent to the check in desk. I belive it was something to do with overbooking the flights

Again? They've done that before at Budapest haven't they? I was hoping to go back over there for a holiday in the autumn (from Prestwick). I wish another airline would operate the route.

I would hope that you do not continue to post like this when you grow up.

It was hardly a childish comment! Im actually surprised they didnt charge you for giving you a boarding card from the desk! Im sure many others would agree!

1) You are not charged if you print out your boarding card and it does not scan.

2) Im sorry that you had to queue again, its was a last minute thing to make everyone check-in so we could try and fill every spare seat. Often the flights were over booked some upto 260, but we had very high numbers of no shows. I guess you could try looking on the bright side of life, and think you got something for free out of MOL, it wont happen often trust me.

On a recent trip to MLA with FR I noted that they dont scan your boarding card anywhere, its just checked visually, is there many airports on the network like this?

It was the " haha!" that made it childish, also the circumstances referred to, not he fault of pax so entitled to have free BP. By the way the correct spelling is 'issuing'. I still think it was childish.
