Avoid Ryanair's sky-high booking fees with Caxton FX

Ryanair makes a significant percentage of its profit from ancillary fees and charges. If you use a regular debit or credit card to book a Ryanair flight you may incur an additional booking fee. The only way passengers will be able to avoid this administration cost, is to pay using a prepaid MasterCard®.

Which card do I need?

If you are booking a flight departing from the UK that is quoted in GBP (Sterling) on the Ryanair website, use a Caxton FX Global Traveller Card.
 
Our Global Traveller Card will help you avoid paying Ryanair’s booking fees, and you will only pay the £1.50 flat fee for spending in sterling on this card, regardless of the number or cost of the flights you book. The £1.50 fee is levied by Caxton FX not Ryanair and you should remember to load enough funds to cover the cost of the flight and this fee.

If you book a single flight costing £5 on the Ryanair website and pay using your Global Traveller Card, you would be charged £1.50 by Caxton FX. Similarly a family of 12 booking a return flight costing a total of £500 would still be charged a flat fee £1.50 by Caxton FX, if the flights are purchased in a single transaction.

If you are booking a flight departing from a country whose currency is the Euro, and whose price is quoted in Euros on the Ryanair website, you should apply for a Euro Card. There will be no fees from Caxton FX if you purchase a ticket in Euros using your Euro Card.
