Ryanair and their bloody taxes
Discussion
Could someone possibly explain to me exactly what I am paying for when I pay my 'taxes' when booking a Ryanair flight.
I fully understand that the cost of the flight varies, and indeed it seems I paid well over the odds for it for wanting to book early and pronto, but that's life.
But what gets my goat is how the taxes vary. And in particular how the taxes have suddenly disappeared on most of their flights? What have I paid nearly £40 in taxes for?
Where do it go?
Is it simply another mickey mouse made up tax that this mickey mouse company have made up as I suspect?
Why should some people have to pay it and others not on exactly the same item/flight/seat?
Am I so unjustified to think that every passenger should pay the same amount of tax, or at least an amount relative to the price of their ticket?
I've written a letter to Mr O'Paddy I'm an Irish length Leary, but I don't hold out much hope of a response, let alone a truthful breakdown of what these taxes are that I have paid...
I haven't even taken the flights yet and I have developed a hate for this airline and am adament that I won't fly with them ever again purely out of principle; it doesn't bode well...
And I must remember to take an empty Oasis bottle just incase, unless empty plastic bottles devoid of that highly volatile and explosive liquid called water poses a security threat when carried by white male?

Why do you think that the taxes only apply to some and not others?
