Default Don't cover me

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.

Now you have given away their dirty little secret, Ryanair will locate
it somewhere else


lol - I expect they'll try to sue me for the costs of having to
rewrite the software.

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...

You really mean "EU consumer law". We don't make our own laws any more.

EU makes directives, national governments make laws.


Yes and the UK government does what they're told.

Are you saying that "EU consumer law" is a bad thing?


I'm fairly certain that I did not write that!. Any laws MY government
wants to pass it is completely competent to do so.

Here's the message with the headers. It looks like the message came
from you. If it didn't take it up with your ISP


So where does it state I said that "EU consumer law" is a bad thing?
