But was it really £10.01 as there are no taxes included in this price!

There are usually no taxes on the 1p flights.

If you are not going in the school holidays it might be worth waiting for a sale.

if you wait you may get a £5 or £10 including tax or you may get £99 each way.
how flexible are your dates. will your accommodation costs change from early june to august school holidays.
if the flights suit you timewise and you think £76 is a good deal then book it and dont look at it again.
if you have enough flexibility and no accomm costs to factor in then you could take the gamble and wait.
your call.

Can anyone help?

Hi, my parents are due to go to dublin with ryanair this week with hand luggage only. In the past my dad has taken his breathing machine with him, it's the thing the doctor gives you for sleep apnea(sp). I don't know the exact dimensions, but if he won't get it into the handluggage with the clothes he needs as well. In the past he has taken it on many ryaniar flights in addition to his handluggage with no problems but in light on them clamping down on lap tops, handbags etc I am worried they might not let him take it on without charging him. I've looked on the website but can't see any reference to medical equipment. Does anyone have any recent experience of taking anything similar on a ryanair flight? thanks

Me and 6 mates are going on my stag do to Bratislava on 8th May, we're flying with Ryanair...

Having looked into it, i am pretty sure i have a good idea of what i am and am not allowed to do regarding baggage, but just wondered if anyone can clarify a few bits for me? (just to make sure i am not an idiot, or cost me and my mates extra drinking money!) :-)

We have selected the "online check in no baggage" option, does that mean NO baggage at all? or can we still take hand luggage each up to the 10kg allowance?

If we all have only hand luggage, are they going to get arsey with us because we dont have hold luggage that may make them money?

On their website, it says "sharing bags between parties is prohibited" - so i cant let my mate put some stuff in my bag if its available?

Anything else i need watch out for?

Any replies will be much appretiated and i'll be sure to have a drink for you all when im there! :-):beer:

You can take your hand luggage.

No.

As long as each piece of hand luggage conforms to the relevant regulations, you'll be fine.

Just make sure you stick to Ryanair's rules and you'll have no problems.

If you pretend it's your stuff, how will they know?

I'm sorry mustbemoreorganised, I'm not 100 % sure of the answer but I have a feeling I heard before you've to have a letter from his doctor stating that it's an essential piece of medical equipment. But again I'm not positive on that. I think you'll have to ring their customer service to enquire. Sorry couldn't be of any more help.

I'm pretty sure that he will have to check it in the hold, and that he'll have to pay for this but obviously check with Ryanair. If its an NHS piece of kit, would it be possible to "borrow" one at his destination instead of taking his own (this can be arranged in most countries). If it's a breathing problem, they'll also require a "fit to fly" letter from his doctor, which states whether or not he requires O2 on the flight too (and if he does, this is £100).
