OFT watchdog says Ryanair payment policy is ‘puerile’
Budget airline Ryanair has been accused of being “puerile and childish” over its payment policy by business watchdog the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).
OFT chief executive John Fingleton, attacked the company for fees that Ryanair adds when customers use all but one type of credit card to pay online.
He told the Independent newspaper that the firm used a legal loophole to justify charging the extra fee.
