Ryanair - Comments & Feedback Thread

Have you actually checked the flight prices again, as there is a blackout period, covering Easter, 3rd-19th April, all routes, not much help I know but may make you feel better.

I AM SO CROSS. As with retailers etc... do they not have to advertise the imminent sale starting - so I would have waited to book!!

2 things.. you booked, why check today

secondly, where does it say that a retailer has to advertise an imminent sale? any store can reduce a price at any time during the trading day, afaik.

It was a bit obvious that another sale was starting on Wednesday, as the £15 sale on Tuesday was a one day sale.

To be fair, if you don't regularly fly, or peruse the airline's websites, you wouldn't necessarily know that there would be another sale coming.

I too lost out on the 75% discount, having booked my flight for £15 return instead of £3.50 - but looking only a few hours later, the prices were back up to £14,99 plus taxes etc.

It's pot luck, and to be honest I'm not particularly angry. I got a great deal that I can't complain too much about. I don't like flying anyway, and especially with Ryanair, but I can't afford much else so I'm grateful to Ryanair for the cheap price, even if it could have been cheaper if I'd been luckier with the timings.

There's always another sale coming with Ryanair.

The OP said they often travel with Ryanair.

Often travelling and being a regular on the website and being up to speed with their sales techniques are different things.

Any advice or anyone had a similar problem with Ryanair? I am so mad!
Thanks

My advice is to chill out.

Would you be jumping for joy and singing from the tree tops if the price had gone up by 10x ?

You paid a price that you were happy to pay, they don't have to warn you that the price may go down, nor that it may go up.

Ryanair lets pax use mobile phones aboard for a fee.

The first person who gets a text saying something along the lines of "Im in the plane over France" is compelled to post it here

So, good thing/bad thing?

Good for Ryanair shareholders and those who like having their travel subsidised by people stupid enough to pay for Ryanair's 'extras'.

Bad for those who don't like being forced to listen to other people droning away on their phones. And unlike on a train you can't ask them to move to a vestibule!

For me, though, the most shocking thing is the photo on that BBC article: when has a Ryanair plane ever looked like that???!!!
