In case anyone is masochistic enough to want to book a flight with
Ryanair, here's a hint - Ryanair offers the option of not buying travel
insurance. Just check the box to say you don't want coverage. The
challenge is to find the box.

Here's the answer - open the drop-down box "country of origin", and
scroll down. About half way, between Latvia and Lithuania, there's an
option "Don't cover me".

Perhaps it might be better if I didn't comment.


I just checked, you're right. They are seriously taking the ****!


Over to David Horne :-)


Yup, they're damn annoying. And the 'captcha' dialogue is annoying too.
But, people will use them if the price is right. I chose them over flybe
for a Belgium trip in early June, not just because they were cheaper,
but the flight times suited us better. (Not as early on departure, and
later on return.) Even flying to Charleroi instead of Brussels didn't
put us off...

In an ideal world, I'd prefer that all this BS was stopped, but UK
consumer law seems pretty weak...
