The OFT is "puerile and childish" in comparison with the german VZBV, who took ryanair to court last year and banned ryanair from extra charges on creditcards.

The OFT is "puerile and childish" in comparison with the german VZBV (german OFT), who took ryanair to court in april 2009 and banned ryanair from extra charges on creditcards ( http://www.vzbv.de/go/presse/1166/36/102/index.html).

OFT chief executive John Fingleton attacked the company for fees that Ryanair adds when customers use all but one type of credit card to pay online.
Ryanair is using a legal loophole to justify charging the extra fee.

Has the OFT no way of making a complaint against this british law loophole?

Not sure they'll be impressed by your "I want to fly for fractionally cheaper" whinge.

I doubt most people can understand what this is all about anyway...

...with all the abbreviations etc. My reading: Ryanair sells cheap flights but they have a cheap headline price and then bump it up with lots of hidden charges.

Well, you never get something for nothing. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Who gives a shit really?

Aviation fuel has been zero-taxed everywhere for many decades. The original reason was apparently to encourage international travel and understanding so that wars would be less likely. Well, that worked out well then...

Now it's mainly for cheap flights so Brits can go to Spain, drink in British-style pubs, watch Only Fools and Horses, slag off foreigners for hogging the sunbeds, and eat fish and chips. Great.
