After reading the article I can only assume the usual reg headline editor is off for the day.

Checkout

And what about all the other checkout scams:

£1.00 to receive an SMS booking confirmation? You what?

£5.00 per passenger, payment handling fee (erm, only 1 payment is made?) You what mate? (unless you pay by visa electron, even their own "Ryanair Visa" etc attract the charge)

Scum.
