A €10 travel tax looks small change when compared with some of the "optional charges" and fines that Ryanair gouge from the hapless punters.....
Rumour on BOH thread that due to FR not releasing schedules from there, it is unlikely that any winter flights will operate

Chicken and Egg
Airport charges, whether it is FR, U2 or BA, are negotiable. That is life in our "free economy"
If any airline can agree free, or subsidised, charges I can't see the problem: no airlines, no revenue...see DSA.
If airline X is bringing A million passengers per year and airline Y is bringing A million less 900,000 do you really believe that they would receive similar discounts?
If I bring 1.2 million passengers to your airport, and the next airline brings brings 200 000, do you really think that I have no leverage? Economic reality, dear boy.

These 'punters' are certainly not 'hapless' if they have agreed to all the conditions on the website.
(For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not saying Ryanair rob their customers, I'm just saying duress is not agreement).

Yet again you tell the airline what they are doing wrong and
what they should change - as an ex-employee you should be
able to come to terms with your departure and stop knocking
the airline - makes you out to be a sore person.

And can I purchase a flight without agreeing to all the conditions? No! So therefore I have no more "agreed" to the conditions than a bank clerk "agrees" to hand money to an armed robber.

And five euros per person per sector credit card handling charge although its only one CC transaction, or €40 to reprint a boarding card, isn't robbery.....?
It's a business model, to extract as much money through 'ancillary revenues' from each customer possible. Whether you agree with it or not, they will still do it and frankly I don't think they care. However if you are wise, you can still get really low fares.
When people ask me about FR, I always say it's a special case, unlike any other airline. Treat with caution and make sure you stick to the rules. If you don't want the 'stress', fly with someone else.......

Perhaps a certain south based commentator on this site would like to expound or elaborate on why ryr's mouthpiece disposed of 1,000,000 shares last week (June 11)?
Holding now only a mere 240,588 shares
A vote of confidence in his leader's direction or style perhaps?

booked onto ryan flight, now they refunded me and didnt tell me?
Has anybody experienced this before:
My friend and his family booked on to the lpl - szz flight tomorrow afternoon with ryanair. The money was taken from their account and got theyre booking reference, but then refunded one month later back into their account with no explanation or information given by ryanair, now they tried to check-in online this weekend and the boof ref is not recognised.
They dont understand what happened, any body has a similar situation happen before? any advice would be very appreciated.

...which costs a few percent on the transaction. Probably less than €5 for most FR flights, but not exactly non-existent.
