Is their Logo based on the Harp Beer advert reaching the parts other beers cannot reach

I thought Mr O'Lairy could reach any lower but of course I was wrong

Very funny  Grin

Bloody Ryanair are a joke with all the extra charges.  When using Easyjet and we need to bring more stuff than our hand luggage wil allow, I book one suitcase per 2 people instead of one each i.e there are four of us coming out next week and we have booked two cases, each case is allowed 32kg (instead of the 20kg per person) which is more than adequate for a couple.
Hope that this makes sense!!

I still find Ryanair cheaper than Easyjet whenever I make comparisons and it adds an extra hour to our journey to go to Barcelona instead of Reus. 

I just compared a trip that my son is doing to the UK in a couple of weeks and the bottom line is Ryanair are €20 cheaper with all the 'extras' ie 20kg hold luggage, booking fees etc and without adding on the  cost of extra fuel, motorway tolls and airport parking charges if we were going to Barcelona

It is all about juggling the costs but as I said for us living in Kent and travelling to Stansted and having to leave a car in the parking is quite an expense.  Did anyone see the Martin Lewis programme on ITV about beating costs on low budget airlines......all I have to do is find one of his jackets?!! LOL  Smiley

Has anyone managed to avoid the booking fees charged by Ryanair? I applied for one of their mastercards (  PRE PAID CARD THAT YOU TOP UP, because I was told this was the only means of payment in order to avoid these fees, that was 2 months ago and I have heard nothing! I imagine it suits them to go slow on this as they make so much from the booking fee, shameful!!! Angry

Check out Martin Lewis' webiste but on alot of them you have to pay a charge for topping them up and then they charge each transaction and apparently you are not protected if the company goes bust and you have money on the card.  I am not sure if you have all the protection that a credit card offers.  So check them out carefully and please update if you find one that works.

Why don't you stop moaning, if you don't like Ryanair don't use them, don't try to ruin things for those of us who can organise things properly

we also have the Fair FX card, thanks to Martin Lewis for the info ,I liked the Flight jackets he had on the show on Thursday night good idea.
As for RyanAir we are over next week and from a £59.00 for 2  flight, it jumps up to £120 with a check in bag(20KG) and check in charges but there still cheaper than the rest.

O'Lairy is missing a Trick!! as well as 11 rows of standing passengers he could provide heated pressure suits and oxygen masks and fill his empty baggage hold with laying passengers he could get at least another 60 on the plane plus you could take your own fishing rods, surf boards and strimmers with you
