Its more a case of finding the free flights to your destination by checking your departure airport and where free flights are going to along with making sure you check which days and times are applicable.

There are quite a few 1p flights out there to Europe.

I have just booked 2 flights to Milan from Bristol for 2p each
The secret is not to accept their insurance and to check in online + only take hand luggage.
Great deals are out there still

:j YAY!

Just booked the parents Bristol -> Milan flights for 1p per person each way. I've found if you check in online, take hand luggage only, de-select priority boarding, don't accept their travel insurance option (most of you with credit cards will have travel insurance, check your policy details!) AND pay with a Visa Electron card, you get flights in the penny region.

However, if you dont have an Electron card, you WILL incurr charges (around £4 pp) but the flights are still mega cheap.

HINT!!!! A friend that agents for Ryan Air has advised there will be more avaliability on 1p flights that are on weekdays not weekends.

Happy hunting!!!!!

Its really not worth the hassle or the money.

Who goes away with no check in luggage?

There is no hassle in booking the flights once you have found them.

We are off to Alicante for 9 days next month without checked baggage. 10kg is plenty if you are careful. We are staying in a hired villa so if any clothes need washing they have a washer/dryer. For 3-4 nights away 10kg is plenty. Total cost of 2 return flights Birmingham-Alicante: £52

Who really wants to pay £16.00 just to use the Maestro Card?
(Maestro.. 'the new cash'.. so Mastercard tells us)

Get an Electron card then. Stick to their rules and you get the bargains. Meanwhile you are just subsidising me.;) We have flown Ryanair several times this year, total card charges: £nil.

I just looked at Liverpool to Budapest T1, which the website clearly advertised that the flight was 0.00 GBP and ALL taxes & charges were included, after clicking a few bullet points, making everything Zero, the confirmation page pops up claiming that the tax and charges are actually £15.00 per person + 2 pence for the flight costs, it then adds a further £16.00 just for using a Maestro card, which as i've said before falsely advertises as 'the new cash'

We have just booked Birmingham-Porto in January. 2 return flights for £0.04, total cost. No checked bags, online check-in, Electron card.....how is that not a bargain??

0.43 pence to process a card transaction.. £16.00 Ryanair are trying to charge.. no matter how much money they advertise that people may save, its very clear the figures don't add up & in reality there is no saving at all.

So don't pay the £16. or even the 43p. Electron card, remember.....:o

Nearly all of Ryanair's european airports are actually a minimum of 20-30 miles from the actual city they advertise as being, For people that do not drive or have the ability to get a hire car, its a nightmare!.

Dusseldorf Weeze airport is 30 miles from Dusseldorf, buses take over an hour to the nearest train station which then takes another 2 hours to get from the train station to Dusseldorf centre. I flew once on this route, and never again, i'd rather pay that bit extra to not have to mess around and then pay the extra cost to get where i wanted to be in the first place.

'Nearly all' is a gross exaggeration. Many of the airports are the ones used by everyone else. European airports we have flown to recently with Ryanair include Alicante, Murcia, Madrid, Santander, Biarritz, Prague, and (soon) Porto. All are the regular airports used by all airlines. It's all about doing your homework - for instance I wouldn't fly to Paris with Ryanair as they go to Beauvais. But I know in advance as I bother to check.

Ryanair offer very good value flights, in some cases ludicrously cheap. But you play by their rules for the best deals. And if they don't go where you want to be, don't book. It's all quite simple, really.;)

Just booked Bournemouth to Murcia,in Feb.
Seats free,and £40 taxes,which is fair enough,but total of £16 for using debit card,for two passengers is a rip off.
