    Its not a luxury to fly when you are hard up and have family in the UK, its a cheap only option.

    So the €10 tax for departing Ireland is insane yet you don't seem to have a problem with the £10 tax you've been paying departing UK airports for the past few years?????

    If you can afford now to book to visit the USA would an extra €10 make any difference? No
    If you're spending 3 or 4 hundred quid then €10 isn't much extra.
    Its exactly the same for anyone coming to Ireland their not going to suddenly change their mind because they have to pay another €10.

    Some people certainly are. If you're paying a cent of €5 for a flight, and now there's an extra €10 on top, it's going to put some people off.

    Darc read the above before commenting. I don't pay any taxes on my flights as I only book when there is a offer which has no taxes so get your facts right!!!!

    To be fair, nobody wants people who'd be put off by €10.00 on an air fare spending a weekend in their city.

    For perspective, in the 1980's I paid over £300.00 to fly to London. You wouldn't get to the airport from Dublin City Centre in a taxi for €10.00

    It'll put nobody off, despite what some posters might say. Price of a packet of fags? Pint and a half? That'll stop you going to Milan for a weekend?

    Good point but when you are encouraged to use public transport and have always paid a small fee to fly and then have a tax on top I think it is unfair. I think if they put a 10euro tax of fags it would stop many people!!!! Not that It will be you see my point.

    The FACT is there is a departure tax in the UK for many years that cannot be avoided. It ranges from £10 to £80. FACT.

    Just because ryanair paid it for you does not mean it did not exist for your ticket. Ryanair simply absorbed the cost but will charge you elsewhere to get it back. (€2.50 for mini can -150ml of coke)

    Now the latest ryanair money grab = charging passengers to check in online / at desk.

    "From 1 May all passengers checking in online will be charged a €5 fee, except for promotional fares.

    Passengers continuing to use check-in desks will be charged €10 per person from 19 March, and then €20 per person from 1 May"

    I wonder if they'll absorb it, going forward. Otherwise it'll be the end of Ryanair's 1c flights that come from time to time.

    "going forward", its one of most annoying phrases in recent years!

    For people who have to fly often, or those who only fly Ryanair, then it'll probably have quite an impact. For people who never fly Ryanair (like me) or tourists who might come here once or twice a year, 10 euro will make no difference.

    the €10 is for all airlines not just Ryanair
