Ryanair Cash Passport - As expected!
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 @ 9:40 PM

It was only a matter time really, wasn't it?

The whole "you need to use a prepaid Mastercard to avoid paying silly booking fees" was just Ryanair lining themselves up to launch their own card.

Which they announced today is happening shortly.

Although most of the links they have given and are indexed by Google don't actually work!

Great start

These "cheap flights" aren't really cheap like they used to be which is a bit sad really as sitting with my knees squashed against the seat in front and paying extra for the privilege isn't my idea of comfortable flying.

We once travelled with Ryanair to four countries in eight days and for the four of us it cost just over €250.  I don't think we'd get that kind of deal again today.

Anyway, for those of you regular Ryanair flyers, once they sort out their links you'll have no choice but to order their new Cash Passport prepaid Mastercard....or pay the booking fees.

I wonder if we'll be able to use the new card to access the toilets on the planes too?   One swipe or two??

I will really be sorry not to receive your newsletter. I had to return to the UK two years ago, due to the financial crisis and now cannot afford to buy a property out in Spain. So, reading your news and getting a flavour of Spain from it, I will really, really miss it.

However, thank you so much for the enjoyment I have had in these past few months.

Followed since 2009 Justin, more features and upward technology, great.

By the way Ryanair Mastercard is UK residents only.
See opening Ryanair page and click Fees.

the ryanair mastercard has a min start and top ups of £150 and also a charge if not used for 6 months.
Does anyone know a spanish car hire company that doesn't have a fuel policy full to empty?
Cheers

On hire cars, a company we use is Malagacar - you take the car half full and bring it back empty - still not perfect, but better than the full tank policy. They're friendly, cheap and efficient as well, and although based 2 mins 'off site' are very good on transfers, and often take you to the airport in your returned hire car to avoid waiting for the shuttle bus
