Well, I thought it _might_ have been one of your intentional copyright

I tried to access the website on Friday evening, after seeing a
reasonable price set of flights on wednesday (wish I had have booked
them then!).
I read that the site wouldn't be available till monday, so obviously I
waited until then.
I tried to search for my flights lastnight (Tuesday) and had no luck
because none of the pages would load, or if they did it would have
taken AGES.
I've just been trying again, and although the pages I've selected are
loading, they are taking a long time to do so.
Anyway, the thing that I aint to happy about is they have removed the
option that used to be up the top of the home page "Find Lowest
Fares" (I think that's what it was). Where has this gone? that was a
very easy feature to use and you could see about 2 weeks of outbound
flights with prices in front of you and the same for inbound. All I
can find now is the option to click my dates are flexible. I find this
option not very good in my opinion, I much prefer the other one... was
easier to see all the flights and find the cheapest ones available (if
you were flexible with dates). This new option just makes loads of
refreshes where as before you just selected your flights and clicked
continue. |

PS. I think I am gonna end up booking with easyjet instead now,
because the ryanair site is failing terribly. I didn't before because
they were expensive, but to be honest, looking at the flights at
ryanair just now... they're just as expensive. >> Stay informed about: New Ryanair web site |

Did you select one of the flights?
If you do, the page is updated with the "real" price for the selected flight
with all the pretend made up taxes displayed.
This part of the process takes "forever".

I really can't understand what possible benefit they think that they obtain
from doing it this way.
It isn't just Ryan Air who have the headline price in the main window with
all the taxes hidden away somewhere in a side box that is updated when you
select a flight - SAS do it as, IIRC do Flybe.
All that extra effort, to achieve what!?
I can understand what they achieved when they were allowed to keep all the
extras hidden until you were 99.8% of the way through the booking process.
But now that it has to be "on the screen" before you leave the first page
what is the advantage of separating it out from the "fare"?
Perhaps they think that by "pretending" it's a tax, people are going to
think "that scummy government is responsible for my flight having a 20 pound
fuel surcharge" and vote them out. But I don't see how that result helps
them either. And in any case, they could still have a pop up box for "see
all the pretend taxes here".

Also, does it really obey the new rules? That is, the first price you
see is before taxes- only when you click on the flight do you see the
full price, albeit on the same page.

I was wondering if they were exploiting a loophole? They certainly would
if they could. They're desperate that people have that initial (before
tax) price in their heads.
Tangentially, I would have thought that their effective 'tax' on non-EEA
citizens (who can't check in online) would break some kind of
discrimination laws in the UK at least, if not the EU, but I'm not
sure...
