Budget airline Ryanair is offering a raft of European destinations from many British airports for £10 each way including taxes & charges until midnight Thursday 23 Nov - very cheap indeed. And there's a way to make sure you get the very cheap deals.
As always the problem with these things is actually finding the special offer flights, go direct to Ryanair and you'll pay more. Yet its possible to use my free FlightChecker tool to speedily find the offer flights, more details below.
Which airports does it fly from?
These deals (it varies to where) are available from Aberdeen, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bristol, Doncaster Sheffield, Durham Tees Valley, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester, Newcastle and Newquay.
When?
You need to book before Thursday 23 Nov and at least seven days ahead of when you want to travel. Flights must be between 24 Nov '06 and 31 Jan '07 with the following exclusions
20th Dec '06 - 09th Jan '07
All holidays, school breaks and major sporting events
Other Ryanair fees
Remember with Ryanair you pay to check baggage in; it's £7 per item each way if you do it at the airport and £3.50 if you pre-book. So if possible take hand luggage only.
Also, you’re charged handling fees for paying with a debit cards (70p) as well as credit cards (£1.75). This is per person, per flight, but you’re able to avoid these fees by paying with an Electron Card if you have one.
To where?
Lots of destinations are included; Rome, Barcelona, Pisa, Limoges, Gothenburg, Salzburg, Kerry, Poznan, Ancona, Carcassone, Oslo, Derry, Trieste, Malmo, Aarhus, Berlin, Parma, Girona, Perpignan, Bergerac, Krakow, Brindisi, Milan, Bologna, Newquay, Montpellier, Biarritz, Hamburg and more!
How to speedily find the specific flights
The FlightChecker is a special free, non-commercial tool on this site designed to find these special offer flights. Normally you enter in the maximum price you’re willing to pay; and the airports and date range and it finds the flights with you.
As the Flightchecker doesn’t include taxes and charges, for this promotion you should choose the 'flights at UNDER £1' option. In fact the result you want are the flights costing £0.01. Once you've found them go to Ryanair to book and the total charge should be £10 including all costs (don’t book without checking this is correct in your case, as while it should be most of the time it isn't always).
Other flights

Hi,
I think you should be very careful when describing this offer.Ryanair do not fly out of Glasgow as you suggest.Its Prestwick which is 45 mins away.(I refuse to say its Glasgow-Prestwick as the airline like to call it!).
Along the same lines,they dont land at Barcelona,but at Girona which is at least 60 mins drive on a bus away from Barcelona.I know most people know these cheap airlines do this,but I think you should be reporting exact facts to keep up the integrity of your excellent site!
Cheers,clarkey19740 -
If you think of the total cost of the trip and also add in a convenience factor, you are truly assessing the cost of these moneysaving opportunities.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

I use Ryanair regularly and when I am looking for a flight I check the website for weeks to ensure the best price. As a result I am familiar with the way they do promotions and the current promotion is non-existent. On the main home page it says £10 all in (includes taxes and charges) but if you click on the £10 it takes you to another window which show the following:
Fly For £10
Fares are exclusive of taxes fees & charges which do not exceed £12.70
Booking Period: Tue 21st Nov - Thu 23rd Nov
Travel Period: Tue 28th Nov - Wed 31st Jan
Applicable Days: Mon - Sun (Subject to Availability)
Flight must be purchased: 7 Days in advance
Blackout Period: None
Notes on this fare: All Holidays, School Breaks and major sporting events are excluded from this offer
I have highlighted in red the information not shown on the previous page. This is an exact copy of what is on their website. Surely the Trade Descriptions Act makes this illegal? :mad:0 -
very naughty
I think they are at it.
Very clearly says inclusive of taxes on the front page, and then exlusive when you click through.
:mad:We all evolve - get on with it0 -
Well, I've booked three all-in flights for £10, plus my returns are only around £7! Someone above must be mistaken, and I'm willing to put my money on it not being Martin!!!0
-
Neither Kez nor myself are mistaken as the quote from the website demonstrates.
Something is wrong somewhere.
I can get a flight for £7.99 but the tax is £12.68.
Whichever way you look at it, it is not a flight for £10 including taxes.
Well done on getting your flights though.
Could you break down the cost of your £10 flights out of curiosity.
How much is the flight and how much is the tax?
ThanksWe all evolve - get on with it0 -
