RYANAIR - I beat the system

Despite all the adverts proclaiming 1p and free seats, have you ever tried doing a return trip?

I have finally done it.

Borrowed my teenage daughters Electron card (it's almost impossible to get hold of one for adults) and booked 4 return trips to Dublin for the day for 8p.

    what section did you find the 1p flights in? I can only see the £10 ones :(
  • Glad someone managed to do it.
    I applied to Abby my bank for a card and did get one but have never found flights to book! :mad:

    I just asked my co-op bank to send me one and it was quickly sorted.
    I did explain when they asked why I wanted one, but they agreed it made sense.

    How much did you pay as 'extras' Im trying to book a cheap flight for 2 adults and 2 children, but by the time it comes to paying its well over £200.
    I hope that my child, looking back on today
    Will remember a mother who had time to play;
    Because children grow up while you're not looking,
    There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
    So, quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep.
    I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

    :hello:
  • Thanks to my halifax easycash electron card, I have had loads of bargains including 6 lads return to Franfurt for 3 days for the total of 12p.

    Have booked under latest offer about 16 return trips for Dublin for 2p per person all in.
