Booking fee for everyone

From 1. December, all passengers booking a Ryanair flight will have to pay the € 6.00 booking fee, even those passengers paying with a Ryanair Cash Passport (or with a Mastercard prepaid card in some countries.)

So ladies and gentlemen, your Cash Passport is worthless from now on.

This is what the Guardian says:

In a statement, Stephen McNamara of Ryanair said: "Ryanair regrets the recent anti-consumer ruling of the OFT, which will result in thousands of UK Ryanair Cash Passport holders no longer having a free form of payment that allows them to avoid the £6 admin fee when booking flights on Ryanair.com."

Stephen McNamara says that UK Ryanair Cash Passport holders will no longer be able to avoid the admin fee.
Until now, he has said nothing about the non-UK holders of Mastercard Prepaid cards.
Let's wait and see - and hope for the best !
(I have, this very morning, booked a flight in january, with my Wirecard, without any admin fee).

Fingers crossed! Little reminder, it states that the change will be applied from the 1st of December. So today is no measure

Anyone taking a Ryanair flight after 1 December will be required to pay the £6 a person fee for each single journey as part of the headline ticket price, irrespective of how they pay.

"Taking" : does it mean "boarding" or "buying" ?
Anyway, it's just what is written in a newspaper, with a good chance of the writer not having understood what it means exactly. Let's wait for the official announcement ...
