Please go on , because so far all you have told us is about what is your fault(spain stamp) something that is not true (paying for toilets) and something that you dont know is true (arriving at airports).

So yes please continue and lets see what the rest is you have.

The last paragraph of that Independent article is interesting...

I have found a few times that BA is cheaper than Easyjet. I think EJ and RA have some cheap lead in seats for advertising and then hike up the prices later.

"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 re mark able 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".

Hope this wasn't someone famous's copyright:fingerscrossed:..... just pinched to re-post! Brilliant!:lol:

Re: Ryanair Summer Flights, when to give up hope?
 

It`s called supply and demand, we have seen the seat price go up 15 €`s in a few minutes and this was even after clearing the computers cache.
Never return to a previous booking without doing that or the price auto rises.

Re: Ryanair Summer Flights, when to give up hope?
 

I don't think that is Ryanairs pricing model.

Its initial prices are not usually its lowest, so you can get some cheap flights quite close to your leaving date. I do travel outside of school holidays.
My latest flight was sold at a higher price a week before I purchased. They must use a computer programme that works on demand.

Re: Ryanair Summer Flights, when to give up hope?
 

Er, this sounds like a good tip but I don't actualy understand it! Please explain in words of one syllable? !!

Re: Ryanair Summer Flights, when to give up hope?
 

I will try.... :D

When you visit a website they load a cookie onto the history/cache of your computer.
Websites where you buy stuff and if you already have this cookie on your pc, when you go back to it again assume that you have been looking at other prices at different sites.
You have returned to their site so they assume other prices have been dearer, this is the chance for them to whack up the price in line with the other site.
You think, crap I should of bought that ticket before it went up ten euros.
So if you want to return and buy, always clear these cookies off your pc, then they think you are a newbie to their site.
In Firefox, click on the Firefox button (top left of screen) put cursor over history, then click "clear recent history" not sure about IE as I never use it, but will be similer, maybe "clear cache"

Re: Ryanair Summer Flights, when to give up hope?
 

Thanks! I might have figured that out, on the other hand possibly not :o anyway playing the helpless female card is doing well for me today. Tail and brake light bulb changed. No charge! Go me, go me...

Actually, thanks though. It might resolve argy bargies with OH about why prices seem to go up so quickly..!

Re: Ryanair Summer Flights, when to give up hope?
 

Flying with Flybe for the first time in years and I don´t have to check in online or print a boarding card. How civilised.

Excellent entertainment and a good laugh. He's certainly got the gift of the gab. Makes most of todays comedians look pathetic by comparison.
I loved the way he took the p!ss out of Brussels and exposed what a total shambles and waste of taxpayers money the whole damned EU gravy train really is.
