Ryan Air Sale

Comments

  • Please be wary that although the no taxes flights sound fantastic they do now charge you £19 to pay on ANY card plus the crazy amounts for putting a bag in the hold.

    I dont know if theres a way around it by buying ryanair vouchers from the site, by the looks of it they don't charge you for paying for/with them.

    I was still pretty pleased with return flights for me and my missus home to dublin in march for £29.
  • visa electron is still coming up for free for me?

  • Must have been my computer playing up then. Soz.

    Anyone know if the ryanair voucher trick works?
  • When they had their £1 sale a few weeks ago we managed to actually get flights for £1!

    Pay via electron card. Hand luggage only. Online check in. No insurance or anything else they ''offer''. No taxes or fees. Then it is only £1.

    We are taking our 4 year old on a suprise trip to Dublin. We were going to go for tea then return the same day, but we've booked a night in a nice hotel. She hasn't yet been on a plane so she'll love it!

    We have our usual travel insurance and are only taking a flight bag. I can't believe it was £1 per person each way....

    Ryanair: £30 charge if you can't fit duty free in your hand luggage

    It could be the most expensive bottle of asti spumante you'll ever buy. Ryanair has confirmed passengers will be charged £30 if they cannot fit their duty free purchases into their single piece of hand luggage.

    The low-cost carrier, which makes sizeable profits from its add-on fees, said it would make no exceptions to its carry-on bag allowance that limits passengers to one piece of luggage. Industry observers said the move could be a blow to the dozens of small airports around Europe that rely on retailing profits to subsidise their cut-price deals with Ryanair, which drives a hard bargain with any airport that takes its planes.

    Ryanair defended the charge, which it said "ensured fairness to all passengers". The airline was not the first carrier to enforce check-in fees and extra baggage charges, but it has pursued them vigorously to drive down baggage handling costs.

    A Ryanair spokesperson said the £30 charge was introduced to stop blatant flouting of hand luggage rules which, the airline claims, has seen one passenger attempt to board with five pieces of hand luggage. The Ryanair chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has admitted that the airline cannot eliminate hand luggage entirely but justifies the extra charges as "behavioural" because lower baggage handling costs would ultimately lead to lower fares.
