Do RyanAir Do Promo's Regularly??

They have a sale which ends tomorrow - If I miss that will they likely be doing another one any time soon??

  • they have them all the time as one ends another offer starts this one was continued. 69% was quite good. But have been away several times for a pound (flexible on dates) You have to be brave and flexible, not so good school holidays.
    PS Have you got a prepaid Master Card to save booking paying charges.

    have you an idea of what & where you are going
    have you been checking the flight prices etc on Ryanair

    the reason being I've been watching flights to weeze (Dussledorf) for some time
    as you are aware, Rynair have had a so called sale over the weekend (up to 69% off)

    on Monday I finally booked my flights, total cost £38 (saved £20 in fees thanks to my Fairfx card)

    Today, the same flights have gone down to £19 :mad::mad::mad::mad:
    I also expect these flights to go down further, but that's life

    the morale of my advice is, I've been watching Rynair for some weeks now, with a view to booking flights, over this time Rynair have had various promotions/sales

    Had I waited until this latest promo I would have saved £15x2! But I was happy with the price I paid, and who can tell what the promo's will be :think:
    Bon voyage

    There is an offer on permanently - changing usually on a Thursday.... but having flown quite a lot with RyanAir there certainly don't seem to be as many good deals around as there were last year. In fact the next flight I am booked on is with Baby BMI for £10 each way to Prague in March - which is more than I have ever paid with RyanAir (but still unbelievable value).

    Hopefully the 1p, £1, £5 etc. flights will return soon as I've nowhere booked from April onwards.

    Thanks - Just out of interest - Did you get a FairFX card to book with RyanAir and were there any problems with RyanAir? Its my first time with RyanAir normally preferring EasyJet
  • I've also been watching Ryanair and thought prices this year are higher so far - in the past I've had flights to Barcelona and Dublin at 1p each all in, and others at £1. Do you think they will return this year later on? It was great while it lasted,

    Purely depends on how well Ryanair's sales are and how full the flights are. Ryanair have to do the big sales to fill their planes, its the business plan. The promotions vary and that will depend on forward booking (ie. if forward bookings are strong, the promotion won't need to be as cheap).

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Ryanair themselves have stated they will have to increase pricing this year, it doesn't take a genius to work out they make no money on the base fares on the promotions. Maybe we'll have to get used to prices more like £5 or £10 each way this year!

    Ryanair's bookings are looking very, very strong at the minute. I just came from Rome Ciampino in the early evening and virtually every flight that departed (I saw 6 flights in that time, to destinations all over Europe) was looking at a load factor of around 80-85% - and this was on a Thursday evening about 5pm!
    From Poland...with love.

    They are (they're)
    sitting on the floor.
    Their
    books are lying on the floor.
    The books are sitting just there on the floor.
  • Hope you were not on the recent Ryanwhere? flight to Lanzarote which landed in Fuerterventura due to bad weather.

    The passengers were left there to get a Ferry to Lanzarote!

    :mad:

    How is it possible to gauge that?
