Do you have links to any of these cash passports or travel money cards which have not set up or ongoing costs? So far I've only come across the Post Office Travel Money Card which does have fees: ttp://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1?catId=26800661&mediaId=53800721 although there are lower than paying the Ryan card payment fees.

Got charged £10 for using a Debit card, went ahead 'cos it was last day of 'Sale'. Decided now to get a prepaid card for Euros and have been comparing. Just found that the Post Office Travel Card is a Visa electron. Doesn't offer the best exchange rate, but next time I will certainly see if I can pay for a flight in Euros, then all I need to do is load up money for my trip and flight and be in pocket despite rates.
