Ryanair -> Avios
Good Afternoon All,
Firstly, I would like to apologies if this has been posted in the wrong place, its my first post!
My question to you all, Is there any way of earning avios while flying RyanAir? My first thought was no, unless the booking is made by using a credit card with a redeemable program. Is there another way?

No. You can only earn Avios from your payment method. But the Ryanair surcharge applied to credit card payments might be more than the value of the Avios earned from that card.
Although I don't recommend this at all, you can also earn a bit of cashback by booking your Ryanair flights via an online travel agency that offers cashback on flights.
You can earn a few more Avios by flying Vueling, however.

Great! Thanks for the response. To be honest, from what I can tell British Airways short haul economy seems to be roughly the same price as Ryanair, at least when flying to the destinations that I tried. So I can collect Avios anyway!
Still good to know though.
