Which is trying to do a complaint about that and credit and debit card payment charges but I won't hold my breath.

Actually the super complaints do sometimes get results:

You wouldn't have the FSA taking action against the banks if it wasn't for the publicity this generated.

I booked a Ryanair flight for my mother recently, which of course cost peanuts, but you can only print out the boarding pass 2 weeks before the flight now, so I need to send the boarding pass for the return trip to her by post!

O gods! My mum came to visit a couple of weeks ago and couldn't print her boarding card because the online chec in was 'broken'. I determined that she had booked using an incorrect ermail address. I was then given the task of guessing the email address she had entered. When I did eventually manage this, she thanked me by snapping the back door key in the lock by inserting a spoon handle in the hole in the key to get some extra torque because it 'wouldn't turn'. Bless 'er.

What did you add to get it to that? Adding a case is only about £20-£25 and their speedy boarding is about £10 isn't it?

Booking Fee £8.00
Luggage is £29 for up to 20ks
Or £154 up to 29kgs
£50 to add for flex fare.

Glasgow to Orlando £647 next week. Return.

Ah yeah, I was getting emails about Glasgow to Orlando being £470 recently but that was if you booked it for the following week. I'm going in August

Just hoping I don't have to go back through "soft processing" when I land in Newark again...
