Booking online with RyanAir troubles

A little bit off topic here, but is it normal to have trouble finishing a booking on Ryan Air site. I found the flight from Budapest to Barcelona that I want, but the booking doesn't appear to go through in the end. I either have no tickets or several:) very frustrating.

Stan,

That's one of the problems I've had in the past when trying to deal with RyanAir, and one reason that I won't use them unless there's NO other option. Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions.

What day are you travelling? There may be other options.

Good luck!

Stan, did you notify your credit card company before you attempted the purchase that you would be purchasing overseas?

Often if you haven't warned them before, the transaction will fail because the computers will flag it as a potential fraud, and they won't tell you.

I have booked online with Ryanair a fair number of times. I call my credit card company before beginning the process, and I have never had any kind of problem. You tend to hear only bad stories about Ryanair, but that's mainly because those who enjoy their ultra-cheap prices, and no-frills, on-time service never take the time to comment. As long as you follow their rules, they are fine. I don't need meal service or entertainment for a one hour flight.

This basically a duplicate question of the same at "Transportation", with nearly identical answers.

It is sometimes best to keep all your answers in one pile.
