Lollie Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just looked to book some flights with Ryanair, and its flashing on their home page, that as from 2 April it is compulsory to take their travel insurance, is this legal?Lollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollie Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Having just slowly re read the print its is saying passengers must now opt in to their travel insurance, as opposed to out as previously done, be careful!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooky Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I read that three times, as it was compulsory to take out insurance with them. Reading it again I see it says you will not automatically get this added, as you used to. That used to annoy me. Now you have to apply for it, not them offering it to you automatically. Good!

AnOther Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Sounds like somebody has finally started to squeeze Mr O's unmentionables to force him to comply with EU laws.Wonder how he's going to claw back the lost revenue from those who previously failed to opt out though [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollie Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Actually, when you start the booking process and come to that page, although it starts at zero, it then asks you your country of residence, once you have put that in, its adds on €14.50, underneath it says, if you do not want travel insurance, simply click on no insurance required in the drop down box, this little statement is mixed in with the countries of residence, so you still have to be VERY CAREFUL!!

Chocolate Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Except they have a very neat way of preventing too careful a reading. I did this this week and the site timed me out when I pressed the final box. I had to go back in twice more in order to give me time to read all the small print and to exactly unknit all the pitfalls! Read at normal speed and proceed to book at once at your peril!
