Ryanair are notoriously strict on their baggage policy - if you're over the limit, they'll make you pay (and it's pretty hefty, too.) If Fodors have indexed them, there's a lot of moans on this board from people caught out by this - but as Rex points out, Americans "doing Europe" isn't really the main marketing aim of Ryanair - it's aimed at those of us luck enough to live close to one of their airports who want to go abroad for a few nights.

This euro symbol thing really has me confused. Does this work:<BR><BR>?<BR><BR>I see it correctly displayed on my screen now - - thanks to finally finding and downloading the patch to Windows 95 - - hats off to Daniel.<BR><BR>If it works (and even if it doesn't HERE on this forum), I will start a new thread, and explain how that came to pass - - it will at least benefit others looking at websites that ARE capable of displaying the euro symbol correctly (like the ryanair webpage - - and countless others, no doubt).<BR>

Okay, so this must have been a source of driving people crazy to not even understand what this dialogue has been about. The problem has to be on Fodor's end. I even plan to do a screen capture with this symbol ? (alt-0128) and post it at www.rexbickers.italy.com/eurosymbol.jpg<BR><BR>To illustrate that it IS visible when you try to post it!<BR><BR>And I'll post more about my experience finding and installing the Microsoft patch, etc. in a little bit (as well as move this to a new thread).<BR>

Well, well, well... the explanation is going to be a bit of a fizzle. Today, I can access this page just fine<BR><BR>http://www.microsoft.com/typography/faq/faq12.htm<BR><BR>just as Daniel suggested. I might have given up on it if he had not suggested searching with google, but - - bottom line is - - right now, you don't have to do anything fancier than go to this URL just like he said.<BR><BR>And once there you will be directed to <BR><BR>http://www.microsoft.com/windows/euro.asp<BR><BR>again... just like he said.<BR><BR>where another link re-directs you to...<BR><BR>http://www.microsoft.com/windows/euro.asp#win95<BR><BR>(Daniel could not have known that I needed this page specifically)<BR><BR>which in turn takes you to this download link:<BR><BR>http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/W95EuroPatch/Default.asp<BR><BR>So, I suspect that you could just go there directly.<BR><BR>As with just about any operating system patch, you'll have to run the EXE file, and then re-start your computer.<BR><BR>and then voila, you'll be able to see the euro symbol correctly on those websites where THEY have it enabled.<BR><BR>but not here.<BR><BR>Let's make that the next crusade.<BR>

Hi<BR><BR>I fly with ryanair regularly.<BR><BR>My luggage is regularly slightly overweight .............. I carry files etc.<BR><BR>My briefcase also is overweight (4 bottles of wine + files).<BR><BR>I have never paid excess charges, although I have seen others have to pay.<BR><BR>It is very rare that hand luggage is weighed.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com<BR>
