That seems overgenerous towards grasping Ryanair. They weren’t ‘waiving’ anything. They just had to find a legal way of advertising a cheap ticket price, but then charging more. The Electron card was a suitably obscure method. Ryanair has now found a more obscure card in prepayed debit cards like Caxton.

Seems Caxton’s Global Traveller card charges £1.50 for every UK transaction (like buying Ryanair tickets in pounds) . But as Ryanair have the cheek to fine a family of five on a weekend away, £50 to process the 1 debit card transaction, it’s a £48.50 saving.

I only got one as a protest against Ryanair’s price cheating tactics, but it seems quite a good card to travel with as there’s no charge for using it abroad, no charge for putting cash into it & no charge for getting cash abroad & Caxton claim it’s exchange rates will never be beaten

We meanwhile continue to wait for our government legislate to force open competition & allow the free market back again. We shouldn’t need to faf around with obscure cards. The advertised price for anything must be the price most people should expect to pay.
