Ryanair £10 Summer Flight Sale

What's the deal?

No frills (and I mean no frills) budget airline Ryanair is having a summer sale, with seats to all of its destinations in Europe for as little as £10 each way; most importantly this INCLUDES taxes and charges, so a tenner is all you will pay. Flights must be taken between 5 Nov '07 and 7 Feb '08 (excluding 18 Dec to 8 Jan and school holidays) and you must book before Thurs 26 July to get them.

Speedily find the specific cheap flights

In a nutshell, use the FlightChecker, a special free, non-commercial tool I had built to find budget airline special offers. It works by you entering the maximum price you’re willing to pay before taxes and charges, the airports and date range and it finds the flights for you.

For this promotion specifically, select flights UNDER £1; in fact when the results appear you'll only want flights listed as costing £0.01. At that point visit Ryanair and check out the total price including charges.

The system is speedy, but it's not perfect, as there's no hard or fast rule with this promotion; some 1p flights will cost more but if you’re flexible with your dates and the airport you fly from, you’re likely to find a bargain within a few minutes, and it's much much quicker using the Flightchecker than not.

Ryanair charges you to check baggage in!

It’s £10 per item each way if you do it at the airport and £5 if you pre-book. So if possible take hand luggage only. Also, you’re charged handling fees for paying with a debit card (70p - except when using Electron, which is free) as well as credit cards (£2). This is per person, per flight.
