Flying Gatwick to Cork Ryanair.

[smurfchops]

Trying to get a flight Gatwick to Cork and return, 11 - 19 July. The cheapest seems to be Ryanair, £117.96 for two people .... plus Admin 24 Euros and Bags 100 Euros approx. Are there any more hidden charges, e.g. Boarding Cards that I will have to pay for when we get to the airport ? thanks all. Seems much cheaper than Aer Lingus which is £574.82!

[ummmm]

Tiamaria - believe it or not my daughter forgot to print out her boarding cards a few weeks back and they waivered the fee.!!

Eh?

Aer Lingus is currently offering a return fare of £95.42 per person, inclusive of taxes and charges on the dates which you've quoted!

However, as you've indicated, Ryanair is (at least nominally) cheaper, at £51.99 per person. Unless you're booking with a Mastercard pre-paid debit card, you'll be charged £12 per person (or €12 if you're booking from Ireland).

If you're checking in hold luggage, the charges shown here also apply:

Chris I saw that table, that is why I put in my question 'Bags 100 Euros approx'. Is this right ? And do they tell me online how to print off the boarding cards? Aer Lingus return £95.42. Is this before all the extras ?? Any other hidden items ?? I just dont trust these airlines any more ...

>>>'Bags 100 Euros approx'. Is this right ?<<<
That depends how many bags you're taking (and their weight).
If you take one bag each (not weighing more than 15Kg) you'll pay 2 x 2 x €20 = €80.
If you go for the higher allowance of 20Kg, but still only take one bag each, you'll pay 2 x 2 x €30 =€120.

Aer Lingus give you a 20Kg allowance anyway. If you each take one bag with them, you'll pay 2 x 2 x €15 = €60

Aer Lingus charge the same 'handling fee' (£6 or €6 per person, per flight) as Ryanair.

With regard to printing boarding cards with Ryanair, you can do that up to 15 days before flying. (So you'll be able to print them out for both directions before setting out). You simply click the 'Online Check-in' link, which you'll find near to the top right of Ryanair's home page. That takes you to here, where you simply follow the instructions:
