Munnyspinner is right Low cost is the same all over the world,
Nuff said.

Ryanair Cash Passport

Minimum subsequent upload to the Cash Passport is also £150.

Thank you Geolog. In that case I'm probably marginally better off without one.

Ryanair's new payment card wheeze is a remarkably bad deal for consumers - the only time it's likely to be worthwhile given the hassle involved is for a person booking approx 15 or more sectors per year with Ryanair. By sector one person doing an outbound and return counts as 2 sectors, while 3 people doing a one way counts as 3 sectors.

A family of four would have to do at least 2 round trips every year to think about this payment card.

Selected Wrong Flight When Booking

Booked a flight with Ryanair yesterday and just saw I selected the early morning flight instead of the afternoon flight I wanted on the way out. My mistake!

Does anyone know if I just buy another ticket for the afternoon flight going out would there be any problem with using the return flight on the original booking eventhough I won't be using the outward flight? I can still check in for it but just not use it.

Reason I'm asking is that I heard other airlines can cancel your return flight if you don't use the outbound journey.

Thanks

Ryanair is a point-to-point airline which does not, according to its own terms and conditions follow any of the usual rules as to honouring connecting flights or outward and return linked itineraries. Each flight is a separate sector, unique and complete in itself.

They will be delighted for you to buy another single. You will not be delighted if you try to do anything else!

Travelling with children

I'm sure this has been asked before but I have tried searching the topic and havent found what I am looking for so apologies if I am repeating.

I am travelling from Liverpool to Fuertaventura with Ryan Air at the end of may with my 2 kids ages 10 and 11, Im sure there must be some rule that kids of this age need to be seated next to the appropriate adult but see nothing in the T&Cs , I know easyjet board people travelling with kids first.
Will this be the same with Ryanair ?

Thanks in advance

LCA - best to keep an eye on monitors and head off to the gate as soon as the number appears (your kids will live -albeit with some moaning and whining - if they lose 30 mins at the shops). In the rate cases seats together cannot be found immediately, cabin crew and passengers are human beings and a way will be found for your kids to be next to you. If really nervous buy the priority boarding but it is frankly a rip off.

Do 10 and 11 year old children actually need pre boarding? Especially when travelling with a mature and reasonable adult?

I know Squeezy does it for families with children under 12, but to me it's a little OTT. Under 9 or 10 perhaps but ...

Try not to worry. Arrive at the gate onetime and all will be fine. Even on a full flight there will only be 4/5 people not able to be sat next to each other/across the aisle/in front. So if you arrive on time you will be sat with your children. I've not flown Ryanair for years but at Easyjet that is the case.

Hi, not so long ago if read on a different forum about a tool on a website (I think Ryanair's) to have listed all the flights that you have flown with Ryanair in the past.

Can anyone suggest where I could find anything that fits the above description?
Thanks!
