Medical Renewal €240 !!!!!!!!!
Rang up the aeromedical department in the Mater Private in Dublin this morning and was told €240 for a standard renewal. What in the name of god is up with that price ? I done my standard renewal in Iberia's medical facility in Madrid last year and it was €110. That is some remarkable price difference.

And I DID my medical renewal only three weeks ago, with another AME.

I think that price is extortionate. I think all I am going to do is a blood sample, urine sample and not sure what the last one is, lung fuction perhaps. I remember last year all I done was three tests all the above I think. In and out in last than 30mins. It is just a standard renewal not an extended. Well they can stick €240 (nearly £200) because I certainly am not paying that.
. Curious as to the prices in other JAR countries?

Hmmmm . . . . . . . . . .
Well I done my renewal today in Madrid
Presumably maintained your extremely economical approach to these things by cycling from Dublin to Madrid ! That would help to keep you fit ! Or, perhaps, one of MOL's £1 Ryanair tickets !

all inclusive . . . . . . . . ?
My last renewal in England was 225 GBP!
AND also including the dreaded VAT !
The only possible other addition is a blood test for cholesterol; lab charges about £60. But that is only ever required once, at the first class 1 renewal after turning 40.

That's probably quite reasonable, then. The OP did not specify what was allegedly on offer for the € 240 fee quoted, nor even which class of medical he was renewing !

Class 1 and I done Blood test, Urine sample, eye exam and doctor listening to my breathing etc and blood pressure. That was all. I was already in Madrid at the time but am returning to Dublin next week so thought it prudent to check the price before I returned.
