Newquey and Barcelona not new routes from STN. When FR cancel a route it is not removed form the system fully. It only goes on the website homepage and the area of the site where you booked isn't generally used by passengers when booking.
Barcelona operated twice for the Champions League final a few weeks back.

as always jamie2k9,
i am inspired by your knowledge!! i heard PB was heading in that direction alright.
i would be fairly certain that REU will open again for the summer,MOL just loves a crack off the charter flights and salou is an easy target for him.
If there are going to be 80 A/C grounded this winter then surely REU wont be the first to close.
I also read today that Ryanair will be forced to drop all charges related to debit card bookings.at €5 a pop(maybe its €6,not sure)that will hit there €400 million profit fairly quick. Inevitably they will add charges elsewhere bu at least its a sign of the courts saying enough is enough.

They make a contribution but so does everything else and the claim by Which was against secret charges..............telling people thats what you will pay for CC upfront is not secret.

The biggest scam on Ryanair is a guaranteed currency convertion rate which enables itself stealthy after entering credit cart number - the page just modifies itself on the left side of the price. You have to click that newly appeared link and uncheck a checkbox on a new dialog which gives very implicit warning not to do so. If you are not extremely careful or simply scared by the warning you end up paying around 6% more using Ryanairs atrocious conversion rate.
Of course it is not on all bookings - only on those that Ryanair decides that card account and the original price are in different currencies (which it sometimes decides wrongly when using local cards).

Racedo, I have no wish to be personal,(I'm about to be) but at times you talk utter rubbish in your blind support for FR.
This latest super complaint, up held by the OFT isn't just about FR, but about CC & DC in general of which the budget airlines are the worst offenders and as FR is the biggest in Europe by a long way then it applies here.
You completely miss the point by saying these charges are avoidable by using a pre paid card, it's reckoned that only 4% of the population have these cards, 75% of which have been acquired solely to avoid Ryanair charges per person per sector. The rest because their personal credit rating is so crap that they can not get a CC
If you honestly believe that this fair practice, then i invite you to my wife's restaurant for a meal for 4, i will give you 50% ofF menu prices, but i don't accept cash or cheque and i will only charge you £5 per person per course admin fee onto of your discounted meal, more over i won't tell you about until the very last second at which point you have the choice of cancelling the booking and trying to re book a meal with someone else who will probably do the same anyway!!
There should be no charge for using a DC period and the CC charge should be limited to a max% or max fee for the whole transaction not per person per sector and this is where this will end up, it may require primary legislation to implement it, Justice will always lag the crime.
This isn't about Ryanair, sadly where they go Easyjet, Jet2 and baby follow, this sector of the airline industry grew from taking the frills out of flying and into taking the p**s out of its customers.
The only customer allowable options should be limited to seating preference, boarding priority, luggage, on board food, insurance and a small fee for using a CC to reflect the cost to the airline of the charges levied by the banks for card processing costs
Well done Which

Couldn't agree more! FR are more pernicious in one respect though - they charge per person, not per booking. A total scam! If FR didn't constantly go on about other airlines fuel charges then it wouldn't be so bad.
A charge for a credit card booking is fair. But to have the same for a debit card is appalling. If it was 50p per booking then that would be reasonable.

Back to the Website 
.
I thought the "Low Fares Available" that is shown on the "UK" booking page was a glitch, I am starting to think it is here to stay, It cant take this long to sort out a glitch.

OFT looks after UK and what happens in rest of Europe is none of their business just like similar bodies in Spain get told to bugger off if they ask about UK.
Prepaid CC's require NO credit rating which is why they are attractive to so many people who can't get a CC or who don't wish to add to existing debt.
Given the oft claimed statistic on here that FR doesn't really fly that many people just a lot of people doing multiple flights then 4% of the UK population is 2.4 Million plus spouses, partners and kids then probably looking at 5-6 million people covered if so called statistic is right. On that basis if the oft made claim on here is correct then numbe of people actually paying it in UK could be very small.
Funny Which doing nothing about LOCOG2012 using Visa as only online payment method.

If as I believe FR will do is tell someone when they start a booking of the charges then its not secret and wishing to proceed after that and buy is up to the individual. If in Your wife's restaurant they state everything when booking a table then its perfectly legal.
The idea that you can't rebook elsewhere is nonsense as the whole booking process from start to finish for a family of 4 on FR should talk way less that 10 minutes.

The customer you may be shocked to know they have a choice, are well aware of that choice and yet still make that choice as the one that suits them best.

Yes, the currency conversion is very dubious...
Being a regular FR-traveller including owning a prepaid MasterCard (as well as a Visa Electron since earlier days) I still got caught out by the currency conversion thing...
If it is not a scam, it is any way very close to such a thing....

Dynamic currency conversion is actually perfectly legal and used across many industries particularly the hospitality industry.
