[lollipop]

I have received a message today to say that Ryan air have free flights to Majorca between 9th Dec and 12th Feb,midweek flights, definitely from Stanstead not sure of other airports.

Thanks for that - have just booked a short break end Jan for 2p each! - plus £8 each Credit Card charge! Even so £16.04 for 2 people return isn't bad!

Pollensa didn't you have to pay the hold luggage fee of £20 pp, or are you going hand luggage only?

I nearly booked flights this morning but the convenience of Luton being half an hour from us will make me stick with Easyjet .

Great deals but how they can they justify an £8 credit card charge on a 2p transaction? From experience with Natwest's Streamline, the credit card companies don't charge that much per transaction, even American Express!

To answer all the questions:

We only take hand-luggage now & it is only a Weds-Mon trip.

Stansted takes us about 40 mins so it's great for us.

The CC handling charge was crazy but they have to charge some sort of 'handling' charge & get away with advertising the flight prices as 'Free'.

I'm really got very keen on their tactics but we were intending to book a break in Jan so it would be silly not to take advantage of them.

If you pay by visa electron with Ryanair there is no additional charge.£16.00 per couple saving every booking - Its well worth getting one for regular Ryanair fliers especially as they are free.

It's hard to ignore offers like this but as a matter of principle I would rather swim to Mallorca than fly with Ryanair. Friends, family and I myself have had too many bad experiences of the airline. I was disappointed when Air Berlin out of the Stansted/Palma route as they were a good alternative to Easyjet. Presumably they pulled out because Ryanair pulled in....

Ryanair have pulled their Edinburgh to Palma route during the winter. Globespan also are only flying once a week from Edinburgh and once a week from Glesgy. Bit of a bummer.

Whats the best way for us Scotchlanders getting to Palma in the winter?
