What train do you get from Ireland to Spain please?
I have not flown for a couple of years now, but have a lot in the past with the likes of Ryanair, Easyjet, Aer Lingus etc and managed to get to many places around Europe for sometimes little money (have had plenty of €20 flights in my time).
I have read and listened to many work colleagues and radio reports in recent times complaining about charges etc, and I have just witnessed it 1st hand.
I have just booked flights for a mate and his wife and 3 kids (using my credit card), and I could not believe the charges.
For the 5 of them to fly, the return flights were £500. Thats fair enough, peak flights in August to Portugal.
The rest scared me, and makes me think I won't be flying anywhere soon myself.
Here's a rough breakdown of the rest:
Tax - £140 (fair enough, not airlines fault).
5 x online checkin's outbound/admin fee - £25
5 x online checkin's inbound/admin fee - £25
3 bags outbound - £70
3 bags inbound - £70
Use of MasterCard - £50
Thats an extra £380 on top of the flights. Scandalous.
I've no arguments that some of the charges Ryanair charge are painful but at the end of the day you are looking at 5 flights for €880, that equates to a return ticket to Portugal for €176 at peak times or €88 one way. That doesn't sound bad to me
Fair enough overall, but lets be honest £140 to take on 3 bags is OTT. They used to let you do it for nothing not that long ago.
And a £50 charge to use your credit card !! How can they justify that? I think they get charged a couple of quid, so this is just pure profiteering, plain and simple.
Don't check in a bag and you won't have to pay it.

2 adults & 3 kids heading to the sun for, I assume, 2 weeks.
Checking in a bag is not a choice.
Some months back, I was browsing to see if I would take the kids to London for a day during the school holidays. For fares that were advertised as 1c or €1, the overall cost headed quickly past €100. Which knocked that idea on the head.
.. a bag which matches the Ryanair size .. Had to rinse out a few things over there, but nothing major .. Buy all my creams and lotions locally.
Having to limit what you can bring - clothes, books, electronics - not what I'd call a holiday.
