LIS Base

It's very unlikely. MOL will pressure portuguese authorities to give the conditions he wants (25 min turnaround and terminal 2, that is currently used to domestic flights, for lowcost).

Ive noticed over fb that a few people are expecting a base in LIS, I really dont see it, we have never opened a base without putting a few routes in first to 'test the water'.

Hello! I think to remember that FR opened BCN base unless any routes. But, really, I dont see a base in LIS. FR only fly to few mains europes airports: BCN, MAD, LGW, DUB and no much more I think.

Bye

Wouldn't expect a base in LIS tomorrow. As FR said they will add a few routes before they consider a base in time.

Madeira

Is there any chance to see FR at FNC in foreseeable future? IMO, superb sunshine destination, still underestimated...

Details about Lisbon press conference here:
Michael O Leary, CEO da Ryanair, pergunta: a ANA não nos autoriza voar em Lisboa. Porquê? | Low Cost Portugal

Short version: MOL asks why they can't fly into Lisbon.

Ryanair is switching its 'free' card yet again. Presumably it is trying to grab money while it can before the OFT gets its act together on unfair card charges. Ryanair launches branded prepaid MasterCard

The main message is here: "bookings made with any other UK MasterCard prepaid card will attract Ryanair’s £6 admin fee from 1st November 2011 onwards."

Not so unexpectedly, this "reform" cycle hardly lasts more than two years.

"UK bookings ....", it only seems to apply to flights (inc. returns) originating at a UK airport. Presumably for political reasons this will have to exclude "Derry" which appears in the Ireland section of FR's booking system but presents its prices in GBP.

Incorrect, Derry is also under the UK for "political reasons".

What about other countries?

Just waiting for another obscure card to be used in countries outside the UK...
Why not Diner's Club or American Express, both cards with high annual fees...

Prepaid card

I had a look through the terms and conditions of use of the new prepaid card (yes I know the web link is broken but Googling ' ryanair cashpassport' brings up a document. The terms and conditions of the new card look considerably more harsh than many other prepaid cards available in the Uk - both in terms of fees charged and also ease of use. One would need to have a very specific and large set of flights for this new prepaid card to be really worrhwhile. One can only assume that as a previous poster wrote that this is just a last grasp for cash before charging for debit cards is banned in the Uk

"
Airline bosses told the M.E.N. that the overbooking was due to a mix-up with a family and Janine was selected because it was thought she was the last person to board the plane.
"


Irrelevent. It is the order people check-in that matters. They should have identified PAX with sequence numbers above 189 and off-loaded the one with the highest number (having first asked for a volunteer).

I am flying to Faro from MAN on Friday 30th Sep returning Sunday 2nd Oct. Have booked this on a credit card some months ago. However, I may have to cancel, basically I would like to know will I get any money back at all? I won't know for sure if I have to cancel until next week.

card fees

In terms of money, it probably doesn't weigh that much, FR will still in most cases be THE cheapest one, regardless of those deplorable fees. However, FR will make a disservice to themselves again. What other than price can influence the load factors? The attitude towards customers, doesn't it really matter at all?

will I get any money back at all?
Kidding? Read Ryanair's terms and conditions. You DID agree.
