Just so we can address this issue prior to people turning this into an idiotic thread on Ryanair - these flights will cost you €10.02 including your credit card fee and nominal charge. If you want priority boarding, check in at the airport or to bring baggage aside from hand baggage you will be charged more.

Now you know exactly what the deals includes so lets avoid the usual "I don't like Ryanair because they charged me for a cup of coffee" carry on.

And just in case anyone doesn't want to pay the €10, get a Visa Electron card!!

Doesn't appear to include flights from Ireland either.

Do Ryanair still do email notifications of offers like these? If so does anyone know where I can sign up? Searched the website but no luck. Tks.

Visa Electron card

Is it a normal Visa card or does the "Electron" have some significance?

johnfás

Visa Electron is more akin to a Laser Card. I think Halifax are the only people doing them. If you have one Ryanair don't charge you a credit card fee so you would get the flights for 2c return rather than 10.02.

Am I doing something wrong? I just got quoted €250 for a return flight to Karlsruhe. Got quoted €60 for a return to Liverpool too. Both flights leaving on the 21st Dec and returning on the 23rd.

Did any of you have problems booking --Are Ryanair having technical problems with their site?
I chose my flight details, entered credit card details and then the site told me ''your session has been blocked''. Then it told me I had entered the payment details incorrectly -- and now I have a booking confirmation email in my inbox with a confirmation number. Has the booking gone though, do you think?

Thanks a lot

collymcd

That might be it then.

Yup happened to me, must be related to their traffic levels. I was there trying loads of different credit cards too thinking one was maxed out.

I left it a while and tried it on another computer (thought that might be the problem) and it worked but it was probably just pot luck.

johnfás

Bit annoying that Saturdays are not included (they usually are) but you gotta take the deals you are offered and I am not complaining as I have to travel to the UK alot and I can work around the dates.

tytlak

sweet..flyin to Eindhoven for 2 days for 2 cents with my visa electron

ronano

is it possible to get a visa electron in ireland or is just uk?

im sorry for going off topic

also i keep getting 'cant calculate fees,try again' anyone getting this as well?

tytlak

sorry mate, up north for sure but no joy with electron over here, only laser which should get the top prize for the most useless debit card ever, get yourself a northern Irish address and open an account over there, it is worth a hassle if you fly a lot w/ ryan

ps there is also halifax visa debit card but ryan charge 5 euro for each flight nowadays

Rattlehead_ie

Just booked for myself and herself to Paris for €30:02
15th - 18th December.Disneyland here We come.

So there's no way of avoiding the CC charges if you live in Republic of Ireland as there's no cards available to avoid these charges yes?

Halifax debit card still has a charge of €10 same as any visa excluding the 'visa electron' which isn't in Ireland but can be gotten via Britain or Spain.

You must not fly Aer Lingus and a lot of other airlines as well.
