When using the Ryanair app boarding pass, can you have the whole family on the pass, or only one person per phone? And can you use this same scan on the phone to get through the automated barriers for each family member where you previously have to scan each pass to get through - as in Dublin airport, just to get through to the security area (similar to a ticket barrier in a train station where you put one ticket in and the barrier gate opens).  Also, does the app open if there's no wifi in the airport, as can often be the case?

 

Just curious here. I think on initial viewing this seems a good idea, but I'll go the old printed ticket route until I know it's foolproof for a family - so as not to get unexpectedly charged extra at an airport when my phone has no wifi coverage or the rest of the family can't get through on the download on my phone.

Can someone explain how paying more for a full-full works out cheaper? Surely the fact you have paid extra already at the time of hire, and then have to fill up the tank again and pay for it yourself (probably costing another €80 or so) when returning the car can't work out better value?

 

I reckon on the standardcar hire that by paying less for the car at the time of hire and using the tank of fuel already provided (albeit over priced), and then just giving it back without having to pay extra to refill it again on return works out cheaper? Plus some firms even refund any fuel you bring back. Even including the fact that the initial tank of fuel you get is overvalued (including the fueling charge fee I see that is now often included), it is never an additional €60 on the cost of a full tank of fuel, and then have to pay again to refill it on return.

Hi Aliton,

On the dickmans collection from Alicante and bringing you to the depot - do they collect a load of people in one go, so if my flight arrived half an hour before another arrival I'd have to wait until all the people on the list are there? Or do they bring you straight away? Also as I'll have my kids with me, do they bring the whole family to the depot or just me, who then drives back to the arrivals to pick up the rest?

Finally, on return, do you drop the car at the depot or the terminal? If at the depot, will they bring the whole family back to the departures gate right away?

They seem considerably cheaper for some dates so if the collection/drop off service is adequate I'd certainly use them. I have used them before in San Javier and they were fine, so I don't have a concern about the quality, but in San Javier they are based in the car park so there is no collection arrangement needed. My concern is simply the fact I'd have young kids with me and I wouldn't like them hanging around the airport for an uncertain amount of time, but if they collect us all together straight away and drop us back on return then I'd give them a go.

Thanks,

Frank

We bought in Corvera over a year ago and used Moira for our interior designing and furnishing and I also would thoroughly recommend Moira for both the high quality of the furnishings and the costs. All the advice while completing was also much appreciated. Please PM me if anyone who wants to see pictures with interior and exterior furnishings in our apartment and I'll gladly send you a few.

I was over in Miguels last night and got a very nice T Bone steak - very good value too. As John P said below he is planning a quiz type night tonight. He's trying to make a bit of a go and deserves some support.
