    I believe you can if you go to the "change/manage my booking" section on their website.
  • hello,

    i need some really cheap flights to girona, barcelona. The flight quotes were pretty cheap, but the taxes r a joke - double the cost of the flight. has anyone ever actually only paid a certain amount like a tenner including taxes?

    On the way home the flights are under a tenner and then £50 taxes, should I wait? Its for May school hol.

    Thanks :j

    Plenty of people have paid £10 or less including when flying with Ryanair, it just depends on the promotions they have on at the time you want to book and when you want to travel.

    The tax is outwith the control of any of the airlines and is something we just have to pay.

    If you wait there is no guarantee that you will find the flights any cheaper, the more seats that are sold then normally the higher the price.

    School hol periods are usually excluded from the special offers.

  • you can get a tenner flight but only when there is promotion with 0 on taxes and fares, which does happen from time to time but usually school holidays, bank holidays and weekends are excluded

    For all those of you that use RyanAir they have found a new way to charge you even more, so watch out what you buy at the dutyfree!

    They are charging if passengers have more than the permitted free single piece of hand luggage, as per the published terms and conditions agreed at time of ticket purchase, but never let the facts get in the way of a good headline, eh?

    It's not taxes - taxes AND CHARGES, the main difference being charges go to Ryanair
