How to Get Refund from Ryanair for Airport Checkin

Thanks to nobudgettravel, I was able to get back 20 EUR extra fee I paid for checking in at the airport even though I had nothing to check in because I don’t have EU/EEA passport. I faxed Ryanair headquarter my flight info. They responded in less than two weeks and asked for a copy of my passport and flight confirmation. I faxed the second memo  and within a month, I received all my money.

You don’t have to call or send them enveloped email. Faxing is sufficient. Next time, I will do this right after I buy the ticket instead of waiting to return from the trip.

Jetair Fly - Cheap flights from Brussels to Carribean

 I flew so cheap from Brussels to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with Jetair Fly last September that I have to spread the news. 300 EUR roundtrip from Europe to Carribean is a price you probably won’t find so often. Not only DR, flying to Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico were cheap as well.

However, these prices are not yet available for this year. Perhaps it was only a promotion for their new flights, and now when the demand is met, prices hike?

There is a promotion file (.pdf) you can download and check what they have for this year.

Carshare Websites in Czech Republic, Germany and Surrounding Destinations

A month ago, I discover Germany carshare websites which hooked up riders and travelers. I paid a mere 15 EUR (each) for my 4 hour-ride trip from Prague to Berlin and back. I had my doubt in the beginning of course; thinking I might end up with a serial rapist or ax-killer or some weirdo like that but my carshare experience was excellent so I will definitely use this website from now on to travel to cities available on the list. These drivers are travelers themselves who want extra
money for their gasoline. The riders are normal travelers or people who study and work in a different cities.http://www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de: I found my ride through this site. The riders’ numbers are listed so giving them a call is a Skype click away. However this site is very hard to navigate if you don’t understand German. There are a few ways to search

There are other options

  • http://www.mfz.de/ : This site is easy to navigate but you can’t see the riders’ phone numbers. You send them a message via the site and have to wait for them to contact you back.
  • www.autospolujizda.cz: You might also try this Czech website but I think it’s way inferior to the German ones.
  • www.jizdaspolu.cz same as above comment.

Mozart Opera for $2 at Premier Theater in Prague

You can watch Mozart’s operas including Don Giovanni at the theater where it was first debut for a mere 30 CZK ~ 2$.

I almost bought two tickets for Don Giovanni for $600/$700 (already discounted by the people who could not go to the show) until J. said that we could buy standing tickets instead. A month ago, I paid 350 CZK for a side-balcony seat to see “Clemenza de Tita.” Didn’t like the seat because of the blocked view, I opted to stand at the exact location I was last night which I could have gotten for only 30 CZK.

540/640 CZK was saved and would go to my piggy bank for future purchase.
