Something similar happened to me once with Hotels.com - turned out it was a problem with their payments gateway and they couldn't process any payments at all.

I was able to book the next day once the gateway was back up and running.

Anybody used wirecard recently on ryanair? don't want to top it up if it won't work... or is there any other option which definetly works? and can set up instantly?

It seems hit and miss for me... sometimes it's working but latest attempt about 3 weeks back didn't work :-( so don't want to put more money on it if it'll fail

Just to let ye know that wirecard did work for me :-)

The game's up, they've launched their cash passport in Ireland.

All flights originating from Ireland after March 1st will incur the admin fee if not booked with the Ryanair card.

Minimum payment to obtain card is €175!

Plus the card fee of €10 which is then refundable with 1st flight...

The terms and conditions don't look too bad if you do a few flights per year.

EXCEPT the €175 minimum reload amount.....thats a killer!:mad:
It would be a real pain in the ass if you were one cent short on your card!

And a charge to put cash on it, and a monthly inactive card charge if you don't use it

What a crock!

It is actually not too bad. I have used my passport card about 5 times now, saving me about £120

Our man in Havana

What is the UK minimum top up?

A Dub in Glasgo

£150, the fee was £6 for the card and when the card came, a voucher number for £6 was printed on the letter which can be immediately be redeemed against the price of a flight

It maybe me, but I didn't see the 175 on the link you gave. It's a bummer though if true, I use Entropay, there you top up as you go. What's the Ryr topup fee?

I think I need a white stick, didn't see this either (maybe 'cos I don't have a card??) but I did see the ****e about the time it takes to actually load it. As I said I use Entropay, instant load....

Just about to book a trip to the UK with Risky...However my companion does not have a passport so I`m seeking guidance on which box to tick when booking....
The options offered are for those who will present an EU/EEA Passport or those who will not...I presume its the NOT box to be ticked for a Driving Licence.

Can anybody confirm ?? :eek:

You can't fly anywhere with Ryanair without a passport.

That's simply wrong.

Here are the options:

A valid passport – (see below - */and ** below)
• A valid National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country. (Only the following EEA countries currentlyissue National Identity Cards acceptable for carriage on Ryanair flights: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland)
• A valid German Government issued ‘Kinderausweis’ travel document
• A valid Italian ‘Certificato Di Nascita’ with photo (for use by children under 16 years) which has been endorsed as ‘VALIDO PER L'ESPATRIO’ for travel on international flights, no endorsement is required when travelling on Italian domestic flights.. It is the passenger's personal responsibility to ensure that this document meets the requirements of immigration and other governmental authorities at the destination airport - see ** below.
• A valid Italian AT/BT card (for Italian domestic flights only).
• A valid UN Refugee Convention Travel Document – (issued in accordance with Article 28(1) of the 1951 UN Convention, by a Government in place of a valid passport.)
• A valid Convention Travel Document – (issued in accordance with Article 27 of the 1954 UN Convention for Stateless Persons, by a contracting state in place of a valid passport)
• A valid Collective Passport issued by an EU/EEA country

* It is acceptable for children under 16 to travel on the valid passport of the parent with whom they are travelling, if they are included on that passport.

** When a child is listed on the valid passport of the parent with whom they are travelling the accompanying adult’s travel document details must be duplicated in the child’s document details section during the online check-in process.

I wonder would they accept the ID cards issued to foreigners by certain EU states?

... and you have to be resident in Ireland and have an Irish passport. As I don't qualify under the second criterion, I couldn't apply for one even if I wanted to.

This Agreement is entered into between R. Raphael & Sons plc and you only. Neither Ryanair,
nor any of its group companies, are a party to this Agreement

suddenly no more mention of ryanair

There is no interest payable to you on the balance and the Card funds do not amount
to a deposit with us.

so, what do they amount to ? Coco-pops, perhaps ? Good luck with dispute resolution on that.

Your Personal Information may be processed outside of the country of purchase,
but all service providers are required to have adequate safeguards in place to protect
your Personal Information.
10.5 You agree we may contact you about other products and services provided by

No safe harbor declaration, and I though you were required to provide an Opt-out at registration for this kind of stuff.

The information posted was wrong, very wrong. Just because it's correct for you in your insular little world doesn't change that.

My partner, who's Spanish. doesn't have to use her passport for Ryanair. Some of her friends don't even have passports. A lot of people I work with use their National ID cards as a matter of course. So crawl back into whatever hole you crawled out of and butt out if you've no accurate information to add.

I was refused board a Ryanair flight as my passport was out of date. Their argument was that the country (Belgium). I was heading to required me to have a passport to enter/exit same so they would not take me there only to have me 'stuck' in an airport and perhaps have the responsibility of getting me back to Ireland. A driving licence was not acceptable in that country as ID and also as it was not the original document used when booking.

I think Ireland did not sign up to EC treaty that allows for freer movement of people hence passports are required ID for Irish travellers???

Another instance I witnessed was of a pair of Canadian young pack packers trying to board a flight out of Dublin to Bristol. They were being denied boarding as the ID that they had with them was not the same as that which they had used to book the flight. God help them.

Ireland did not sign up to the Schengen Agreement because the UK did not sign and we have a common travel area with the UK

You might be referring to EU Directive 2004/38/EC. Among other rights and privileges, it provides that every EU citizen is entitled to move among the member states with their valid national passport or National ID card.

What Ireland and the UK don't do is issue National ID cards to their citizens. The UK did for a short period (I have one) but David Cameron put a stop to it. Anyway this means that citizens of Ireland and of the UK have no option but to carry a valid passport when travelling through Europe (not withstanding the CTA provisions).
