If you want to change the flight then thats £25 per person per flight if you booked on line. Or in the case when my husband booked a flight and the confirmation came back with wrong destination cheaper not to turn up.

We moan constantly about Ryanair but those of us who live in Yorkshire use Jet2. The prices are much higher and I have just paid for two flights late in year to Rome base price for 2 people is £278, but what has shocked me is that they have charged £55.96, for bags, £5.84 for the credit card and £10.02 booking fee. Has Ryanair thought about the booking fee angle yet?

The problem is Cryinair has got away with it so now all airlines will put silly charges on, sometimes it`s cheaper to book a cheap package holiday and forget the hotel part. ;-))

We are very close on completion for our plot in esuri .I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for architects and a rough idea how much they charge.

I can recommend this one:
OA Arquitectura Arquitects
Plaza La Laguna
21400 Ayamonte
Tel: +34 959 470 691
www.ogayararquitectura.com

To communicate in English should not be a problem.

Hi, before we moved to CE we also lived in Yorkshire (Sheffield) but found it easier to be flexible with our departure aiport to enable us to take advantage of lower fares. Unfortunatly it seems that the closer the airport the more it costs. When we go back to visit now we fly into Stansted. Our next trips total cost is 94 Euro (2 people round trip)

Sorry Andy

Not been on-line for a few days. They are certainly easier to use as they work whenever plugged in and you don't have to worry about the tablet running out and having to be replaced.

Another yorkshire couple who have used durham , liverpool , manchester,doncaster , east midlands airports as opposed to the local one at leeds. All within 1 and 1/4 hours driving but the savings are incredible.

Could it be that both flights I chose were free of any taxes in the first place (£10 & £20) so this is a way of making back the costs?

Every day that goes by that I don't book a flight with Ryanair I consider I've saved at least £20. This began in 1985 when they were first established. I've saved so much during that time that I managed to afford to buy myself a property on Costa Esuri!!

there are few arcquitect i will recommend that work with solvent building companies and that have not caused any problem until today with payments, for me is easy to check just ask and i will give you the name and address.

about the cost there is something that goes to 5 to 9% of the value of the project... however in this days some building companies have their own under contract so it will reduce the total cost... if you chose this option i will recommend yo to have a to over look for you., even so is the cheapest and easiest way to avoid problems of interpretation between he building company and the arquitect .
