I don't understand.....so you book your flight, then provide API at check-in where does £1 a minute come into this? I can only assume that only Ryanair impose this? I know for sure TFly and BMI don't ask for this information when booking, only at check-in.
Ryanair are well known for imposing sometimes petty charges for this, that and everything else, so it doesn't surprise me. A look at Skytrax shows Ryanair for what they are - sneaky, slippery, ripoff merchants.

Just in case Ryanair want to sue me, I would like to say what a wonderful airline they are, nice modern aircraft and nice cabin crew, and your boss Michael is a colourful character. There, you can't say I'm biased.![]()
