		<description>I&#039;m still getting alot of emails about APD

&quot;David Wakeford wrote:
I am flying with Ryanair on 3rd Feb on a flight booked last October. O&#039;Leary stated last week on a television news prorgamme that everyone who is flying after 1st Feb has been notified by Ryanair that they owe more money and that anyone turning up at the airport who has not previously paid the extra tax will be turned away without refund. I have received no email from Ryanair and their website does not give me a facility for paying the extra tax. It is also impossible to contact Ryanair by email. Is this a means of Ryanair taking customers&#039; money and then using a loophole in their terms &amp; conditions to refuse to transport these customers?&quot;

Good question David.  I&#039;ve received an email, I don&#039;t know if you have yet. I&#039;m not a legal person, but I am sure they must be some law about taking money from a credit or debit card without any authorisation.

All of the airlines [with the exception of BA surprisingly] have dealt with this APD increase shockingly bad.  Hopefully plenty of lessons will have been learnt, and I suspect this isn&#039;t the last we hear about this APD.</description>

		<description>Umm I signed the petition, and I was suppose to get an email to confirm my details, but it hasn&#039;t arrived yet.  Anyone else had this problem?</description>
