Avoiding Ryanair Admin fee
 

I'm outside of the EU and want to book 2 Ryanair flights. I note that I will be charged a 6 Euro Admin fee if I do not use a prepaid Mastercard debit card. Does anyone know if I get a friend in the UK to pay for the seats online for me, and avoid the admin fee, if I will have to present the credit card at the checkin desk?

thanks for any advice

No. Ryanair don't ask to see the credit card. If you don't need to check in luggage, the first time you would see a Ryanair representative is at the boarding gate with your pre-printed boarding card.
