The only way to avoid Ryanair credit card charges has been to use an Electron card, it seems that these are to be phased out.
The charges for using a credit or debit card are £5 per person, per flight so return trip to Finca Arboleda for a family of 4 costs £40 in charges!!!
What can we do ?
Prepaid cards seems to be the way to go. Moneyweek has an article here and Martyn Lewis here.
You could also use them for spending while on holiday, load up at a known exchange rate and no nasty shock when the bill comes in afterwards.
If you have a better idea let me know and we can spread the word.
Remember what O’Leary does today the others will follow.
