Hi all I am so excited just booked tickets for the concert and flights too !!

Just to let anyone know who hasnt yet arranged travel arrangements that flights are 0.oop only paying for taxes !!

See you there !!!

Free flight I bet, but probably a massive check-in fee and a cost to carry any luggage

Ellie said:

thats for sure. also if booking check the taxes for different days. taxes seem to go up on certain days.

angelcat said:

Yea taxes change depending on the day!
But we have got flights and the only cost £10 each for return flights!

N3B said:

well done! you beat the ryanair system!!!

good for you! booked mine already (also ryanair). Not zero euro but certainly cheap!

Ellie said:

Flights still work out cheaper than anyone else if you book on time...flying return from Paris for less than 48 euros.

In any case many companies now operate the same system.

It's a 21st century thing; cheaper flights,we sometimes pay some extras and we no longer dress up to fly!!

i know they are cheaper even with the extras, but that is what annoys me about them. i would prefer if the initial price they gave was the price.

Rant over!!

angelcat said:

It's all about choice.....

eireboy34 said:

i appreciate that they have brought great choice to us, and their prices are competitive,but advertise the actual price that it is going to cost. not price excluding bags, check in etc.

angelcat said:

Once you get used to it it's not rocket science.

The bottom line is I think a lot of people wouldn't be going to Dublin if it weren't for Low Cost prices.

A lot of people sometimes seem to have a bee in their bonnet about Ryanair and yet they'll frequent other companies who aren't the perfect employer or who do "misleading" advertising.....as I said we have a choice. if you wanna pay more on Air France or KLM you can do it.

Rant over!!!!

eireboy34 said:

ok so you work for ryanair... that makes you.. 41?

darlingfloor said:

Ur obsessed with my age daaahling

eireboy34 said:

a little transparency in all advertising is not too much to ask. i recently booked flights that started out at 40euro return, that ended up costing 290. now i know that that was still good value, but when you see tthe charges for credit card, per passenger, it irks me.

eireboy34 said:

with u babyboy, with you

Ryanair have convinced me to go....£20 return to manchester and the concert ticket.... back in time for a Greggs breakfast barm...I'd be mad to miss it.

boxerboy said:

wow!

boxerboy said:

What's this barm?? Can U bring some over for us?????

Why are people so hung up about Ryanair? They are selling you a seat on a plane and charge you for it. The fucking government then add on extraordinate travel tax. Not Ryanair. Fucking Labour. They cannot advertise the price with bags and insurance as most do not use them. I NEVER put a bag in. I NEVER buy insurance and I only pay the flight cost. I also check regularly and book flights to here, there and everywhere for little to nothing. The one thing about all the carriers I hate is the credit card charge. It's near £5 per person. You have no choice but to book online and pay by credit card but it is one transaction and they should not charge you per person.

studal said:

Speak the truth!!With U on this one

Yeah, I also only paid 18 € for my flight! Hoorah for RyanAir!

studal said:

the credit card fee annoys me the most. as you say it is one transaction!

studal said:

Its the way they go about it. The extra costs are NOT all tax. They bundle tax and "surcharges" in there to make it look like it the governments fault. In reality, they are hiding additional cost in the "tax" section of the ticket price.

At least Easyjet split it out more honestly.

sorry for slow reply....barm, bap, teacake, muffin, or plain old roll. The piggy symbol gives a clue as to what's inside. Whatever, there is no way ryanair will let me on with a stash of Greggs butties. Besides I thought an Irish breakfast was legendary? I hope you are not a ciabatta man.

darlingfloor said:

I dunno Ive been off the org for a few days and some things never change!! why does workin for ryanair make him 41? or do you think hes a pilot? even so how does that make him 41?

Hes a teacher and hes 34! or hes a student and hes 34!

syble said:

yeah that was a guess and he said no... or just avoided the whole subject, again,I don't remember.
41 was a rough guess

darlingfloor said:

Why is this thread here, like it could fit into 3 categories already, GD, P&R and .ORG, but surely not here,

Whitnail said:

eeuhh maybe as a tip for people considering to go to Dublin? You do know there is a prince-CONCERT over there? Looks to me it fits just fine in this category: " Where they're at, how to get to the shows, how to meet up with other .org'ers, where to eat nearby , and reports on the shows go here" .
