    I know there's a Ryanair topic, but just to let yous know that from 31st of December there will be a €5 charge for booking using VISA electron.

    But from the 1st of December the new way of being able to book for free will be with a Mastercard pre-paid card.
    RYANAIR will charge passengers to book flights using a popular debit card from next year, ending one way of avoiding the fee for using a credit card.

    The airline charges €5 per person, per flight, for booking with a credit card, even though banks say it costs Ryanair less than €1 to process the transaction.

    However, the charge can be avoided by getting a debit card known as Visa Electron, which in Ireland is only available at www.entropay.com.

    But from January 1 the Visa Electron card will attract an "administration charge" of €5, Ryanair said yesterday.

    The only way fliers will be able to avoid the administration charge is by signing up for a new MasterCard prepaid debit card.

    Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "Passengers can use their MasterCard prepaid cards to pay for flights from December 1, while our Visa Electron promotion comes to an end on December 31."
