Wow, /I guess Ryan Air is not making enough ancillary income from board pass print outs

Seems like a cash grab to me, but then again most budget carriers have been doing this

for a ling time

I can recall flying from

London - Milan

Milan - Barca

and Ibiza - London

all three legs for less then 100 quid

Guess these days are long gone

No-they are not made comparable flights on RYAn (like Charleroi/their BRU to Sardegna for less as 25 eur-last sept. Just use brains and know how to-an apparently often most lacking skill for TV-responders.

And indeed- RYAN does not fly at all to Thailand -Turkey is the most nearest by, so the relevance might be:

AirAsia-that favorite subject for yet more whinging and whining of TV-users, often follows the same model-a few monthes or years later.

And to counterreacht to OP; RYAN did same last summer=peak season, and dropped them (these punishment prices) again after-but of course unnoticed by that same UK-gutterpress. And if youre smart enough-again a skill mostly lacking at whiners- you can completely avoid these hikes-and then puff: wow- Now I have savend even more!

I would rather run/swim the entire distance flapping a pair of ping-pong paddles than fly Ryan Air, anywhere, any time. bah.gif

Agreed-how can anybody justify 60 quid for a boarding pass ?

Not everyone is computer literate and imagine there must be more than a few on every flight without pre printed cards.

Family of four at 240 quid....ridiculous for a true cost of 40 pence ??

"Spare a thought for Michael O'Leary, Chief Executive of 'Ryanair'.......

Arriving in a hotel in Dublin, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of draught Guinness.

The barman nodded and said, "That will be one Euro please, Mr. O'Leary."

Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.

"Well, we try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the cheapest beer in Ireland"

"That is remarkable value" Michael comments

"I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours.

That will be 3 euro please."

O'Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat.

"Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra 2 euro. -

You could have pre-book the seat, and it would have only cost you a Euro."

"I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please"

Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in

he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame".

"I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of €4.00

for your seat sir"

O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you

" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another 3 euro."

O'Leary was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager".

"Ah, I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be 2 euro please."

O'Leary's face was red with rage.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I do Mr. O'Leary,"

"I've had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!"

"Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10

every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free,

until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 cent per second"

"I will never use this bar again"

"OK sir, but remember, we are the only hotel in Ireland selling pints for one Euro".
