I have flown with all the low cost operarators, Easyjet , Ryanair, Jet2, BMI Baby, Flybe and Monarch. For ease of flight and relaxation it is monarch hands down. The rest are much the same , herd on herd off thanks for your money.

But the carrier that has the most on time flights are Ryanair. That is a fact.

There are ways of cutting costs if you want to . 1. Mastercard prepaid credit card= no credit card fee. work out for yourself how much that would be. 2. Ryanair credit card. Pay for your food and petrol with it and clear at the end of the month. It can earn you four return flights a year. Saving £240.3 Cut out the priority, for me pointless.

As others have said in this thread play their game and you can still pick up a bargain.

For me Ryanair pulling out of Alicante will be a huge blow as the choice of carriers will diminish and cost of flying will rise. So well done Ryanair for standing up to the airports decision and here is hoping it is reversed before it is too late.

I have the same card and can confirm that this is probably the best way to get your euro's without incurring commision. Always a great rate. You can use it for transactions as well ie shopping, without being charged. Some visas charge 3%

Just having come back from Spain. I noticed two communal satellite dishes on our apartment block. Any ideas on how this works. Do I need a digital receiver to watch the channels. I'm not fussed if they are english or spanish. I certainly will not be getting one of those mesh dishes as thery are highly illegal.

I've noticed a few sites on the web offering Vodafone ES sims for around £30. Do you think they are worth the money, or is it better to get a sim while in Spain. I suppose the main advantage to having it before you go is that you will know your number before you go. Also how much is it to buy a sim in Spain. Any help would be great.
