    Hi

    I heard before that it is illigal for a company to dirrectly charge you for using a credit card but yet ryanair ( and probably a lot of other airlines ) charges an extra €10 euro for using one to book a flight on their website. Is this legal or did I just hear some rubbish.

    John.

    Check out Ticketmaster.

    Check out Budget Travel.

    Check out the Londis in Dooradoyle Limerick who are charging people €1.50 to use your laser if your transation is less than €10.

    they don't hide the fact the charge is there, therefore they can do what they like...unfortunately

    use www.entropay.com to avoid it. set up an account and set the currency as GBP. they charge 4.9% for uploading money on it but considering you can pay up to €40 on charges it can save you quite a bit of cash. when paying for the flight select visa electron and use your entropay card.
