    I booked flights with Ryanair alst week as they started to increase rapidily so the cost was 550 in the end for 3
    now the price of the flights is down to 180 ad of course am a bit sick :mad: ..
    it looks to me that I paid alot in taxes now there is no taxes being charged
    can they do this? i know Ryanair!!
    but wou have taught that taxes would be on the whole flight and not some of the passengers

    also they have not taken the money yet .. tho could be this morning so could you ever clear your account and cancel someway;)

    Of course they can. You bought a ticket at a price you were happy with. Since then they've lowered the price and are absorbing the taxes (Ryanair are paying the taxes and charges instead of the customer) as a special offer. Such is the vagaries of life
    also they have not taken the money yet .. tho could be this morning so could you ever clear your account and cancel someway

    No, you couldn't. They have an authorisation to bill your card. The card provider has to pay it, and be sure they'll chase you for it.

    Thats the way Ryanair work. You take a chance when you decide to go for a certain price. There are times the flight will be much cheaper the next week, there are times it will be much dearer.

    Exactly, I know it is really really annoying, but nothing can be done about it now so just put it out of your head and enjoy your holiday. If you are like me you would have just wasted your saved money on something stupid:pac:
