No it was 189 plus a few infants, but one of the infants was not, and required a seat. She shouldn't of been treated like that by the handling agents, but still she has almost 3hrs to think about putting in for a claim.

Oh, for goodness sake, lighten up!
Thank you silver hawk. It was a genuine question and I expected a sensible answer. I am not a pilot - I trained as an aircraft engineer but I have been away from the business for some years. Can I respectfully suggest that you take more care when posting by bearing in mind that some of us, although we have various reasons for accessing Pprune, do not have current experience.
Ta, and no offence!

The FR announcement regarding the new card that must be used to book flights originating in the UK (to avoid a £6 per flight leg fee) has caused much confusion on social networking sites and at MoneySavingExpert.com.
People think that there is still a £6 card booking fee per flight leg which is then re-imbursed as a voucher. To me the announcement is clear that it is the fee for initially purchasing the card (£6) which is re-imbursed as a voucher.
Perhaps it was a mistake to choose the sum of £6 as the fee.

This prepaid Mastercard thing will also be a great ruse for beefing up bookings during the quiet pre-Xmas period. Everyone will be rushing to book before the deadline one presumes.
It's a really loathsome way of doing business. The worst of it is that it they don't even charge by transaction but per flight.
It's not much better with the likes of EZY either because Electron cards are like hen's teeth these days. Halifax have just withdrawn that particular account.
It's high time the Government took action.

Amazing how whenever this subject comes up it is always Ryanair who gets the flak. Doesn't the Regulator or any other "money expert" know that many other airlines including EI and BMI also charge these fees. Don't know about BMI but last time I flew EI there was, unlike Ryanair, no option to avoid the fees but please correct me if this has changed.
Ryanair’s £6 admin fee will not apply to UK bookings completed with Ryanair Cash Passport from 4th October onward. All UK bookings made with any other UK MasterCard prepaid card will attract Ryanair’s £6 admin fee from 1st November 2011 onwards.
That appears to convey the impression that a booking from UK made with a prepaid Mastercard issued by any other country will not attract the fee.

Ryanair cashpassport
Does anyone know when the Ryanair cashpassport will be available? I've tried clicking on the link on Ryanair's website but nothing happens. The prepaid mastercard that I have at the moment will attract the booking fee of £6 per person per single flight as of October 4th. Ryanair aren't giving people much time to apply for the new card so as to avoid the fee.

Ryanair CashPassport
According to the FR Press release:
So the card should be available for application from latest 4th October and there will be a four week period before the existing Prepaid Mastercard bookings start to attract the booking fees. Still tight, but there is an overlap.
Still awaiting exact details of how it will work but this new CashPassport will clearly have more onerous T&Cs and transaction fees than many of the existing Prepaid Mastercards. Nonetheless, for frequent FR flyers like myself, it should still be worth it. I pay about 50p per transaction on my current prepaid card, which is significantly less than £6 booking fee per single ticket.

True - but the Visa Electron card I managed to get is still useful for the increasing amount of Aer Lingus bookings I make to get to/from Shannon now that FR timings are all over the place and the daily LGW-SNN service is virtually suspended until late October.
Prepaid Mastercard useful for internet stuff but not bothered if I get rid of it once it's no good for Ryanair. Applying for prepaid cards doesn't affect your credit scoring like multiple applications for credit cards.
I'm just happy to think that for the last 3 years or so, I haven't paid any fees to Ryanair and fly with them at least 1x month. I once bought a cup of coffee on the flight (I was desperate....), so they made £2 out of me.

Ryanair coming soon to Milan-MXP?
But of course, you may have some flows of a true non-public information...

There are reports that Ryanair are to cut further at DUB next summer as a result it is lightly to fall to 3 place in base size. CRL will over take it if the major cuts go ahead.
These cuts come when they will be paying less to operate from DUB compared to this year.
They cut services on 1 August and further cuts from 29 October.

Speculations on italian forums: AF and LHI will leave MXP from next winter, all flights to be moved to LIN, anso BA and KLM should close operations from MXP soon. So MXP could have a new role as low cost hub.
